Quick introduction, my name is Mike Peberdy, I’m the owner of XL2 and have enjoyed sailing multihulls (and anything lead free) for many years.
A number of us are keen to see regular well populated fleets of multihulls in our own backyard, Moreton Bay.
Between the MYCQ and RQYS we have come up with a regatta that we hope to hold each year 2 weeks prior to the Brisbane to Gladstone.
Our goal is to build a regatta with strong entries and a regular on everyone’s calendar. 5 boats so far have committed to race, with a number of good crews/boats expressing interest.
The Program reflects different kinds of Sailing as part of a Day Racing program, with longer races as a chance to
stretch the legs, and short courses to test boat handling, there is something for everyone.
Yachts with an OMR rating may choose to race with a serious approach to their on-water time, PHS will also be on
offer, or multis may wish to cruise in company as part of the 4-day program of activities.
