The inaugural Multihull
Solutions Moreton Bay Rally
will be held over the weekend of
27 to 29 October on Brisbane’s
beautiful coastal water.
Relaxed cruising is the
primary focus of Multihull
Solutions' events and, like
all its rallies, this one offers
a chance to escape for a few
days of cruising and explore
the area with frequent stops
for social functions with
other owners. The event has a
philosophy of fun with prizes
awarded to entrants who best
embrace the spirit of the rally.
For those who want to
experience the beauty of
Thailand’s best cruising grounds,
Multihull Solution is staging
its Phuket Rally from 6 to 12
November. This rally takes its

multihullers on a week-long
cruise through Phang Nga Bay.
This region is characterised by
dramatic limestone cliffs and
caves, ancient archaeological
sites, fascinating bird and marine
life and vibrant cultural diversity.
For those who cannot afford

the time away in Thailand,
Multihull Solutions is also
again offering its Pittwater
Rally in November. Held
from 24 to 26 November, the
Multihull Solutions Pittwater
Rally is a chance to explore the
natural paradise just north of
Sydney’s CBD.
Spots in the rallies are
expected to fill fast so cruisers
are urged to register interest now.
