And what a first it is!
The second edition of the Caribbean Multihull Challenge is going to take place in the brilliant waters of an island known for great sailing and great sailing hospitality. St Maarten will host its second annual Caribbean Multihull Challenge on February 14 – 16, 2020.
The Sint Maarten Yacht Club, organizers of this new Regatta, are acknowledging the rapid growth in the market for all designs of multihulls; and the technological advances in the industry enabling the newer boats to be fast, safe and comfortable; yet extremely fast in all kinds of winds. The racing in this brand new event will be spirited, highly competitive, and full of fun surprises.
The Caribbean Multihull Challenge St Maarten 2020 will embrace the spirit of multihull sailors: adventurous and enjoyable with lots of camaraderies and accommodating all types of multihulls. New for 2020 will be a race to the French-side of the island adding an international feature to this young event.
“This event will welcome every multihull sailor, from Gunboats, Trimarans, to Lagoons, Leopards, Fountaine Pajot, and Spronk boats, we will even throw in a Pirate Class so local charter boats with fun handicaps can race. The whole idea is to offer creative races that will put a smile to every sailor’s face. Combine that with post-racing events and this will become a real hit in the Caribbean Racing Circuit!” states Steering Committee Chairman, Petro Jonker.
