Caribbean Multihull Challenge Race and Rally 2026

Even the committee catamaran was being tossed around on the start line, yet this did not prevent the race committee from getting the fleets away. CSA 1 and CSA 2 started together due to a few withdrawals caused by minor technical issues among the smaller competitors, and in the end, only the CSA 1 boats completed the final course. A special mention goes to the superb last race by G4 Falcon, which seems to have mastered the use of its foils; the catamaran delivered longer and longer flights downwind for her crew.

Overall in CSA 1, it was Sofia, an ultra-high-performance 63-foot trimaran, that claimed victory on corrected time, ahead of the Gunboat 72 Layla, skippered by Brian Thompson. In CSA 2, the Rapido 40 Spike took the overall win - you couldn’t have missed this trimaran on our social media, as the video of her Day 2 finish has already racked up more than 120,000 views!

A full report on this event will be published in Multihulls World #207.
