So far there are few events dedicated exclusively to the multicascos and hence the success of this call which, despite having been made known very recently, has been able to attract and convince a number of shipowners and sponsors, who see in it a unique opportunity to enhance the hobby for this type of navigation, offering it a promising future

Port Ginesta, founder of the brand Multihull Friendly Marinas, has been the ideal framework for the celebration of the first edition of an event entirely for the multicascos: the Multihull Rally & Race.

It is called to become an inescapable date for shipowners and crew lovers of the unskillful navigation and of all those professionals associated with this type of ship: shipyards, distributors, charter companies, specialized press, marine, etc... the Multihull Rally & Race is born with the look to satisfy the competitive desire of some shipowners and crews and to fill, in turn, the desire to share experiences, measure forces, learn from each other, make joint plans, enjoy the company of those with whom it is shared, proper to any lover of the sea, of the sailing.

Despite the little wind, which at no time reached 7 knots, the speed averages reached (6,8 the best) speak for themselves of the performance of this type of ship whose stability depends on its sleeve, thus saving the weight and the rustling of ballast and keel.

On Sunday morning the exit was given to the fleet race, a coastal tour in front of the busy beaches of Castelldefels, which had to be shortened to 7 miles due to the wind shortage of about 4 knots:
