13 multihulls up close in light winds Triangle 2026

There's always something a bit magical about sailing in company with this beautiful, elegant fleet of mixed MOCRA multihulls. Add to that the buzz among the crews, excited at the season start, happy to see each other again, catch up on the winter's boat works and share plans for the season ahead. The six Dazcats, including the latest addition, the D1495 DMS Vinyl, complemented the fleet perfectly. For those who love seeing multihulls up close, this opening weekend of the UK Southwest MOCRA season delivered a superb three days of coastal racing. The lighter winds often kept the fleet tightly packed, creating fantastic opportunities for some beautiful close-quarter footage and sailing at wind speed and more in just 5 - 6 knots of breeze. With 13 boats on the start line, there was no shortage of action from some of the UK’s most interesting racing multihulls. Trimarans • Panoramix – Farrier F82R • Trying – 38ft Norman Cross • Uno – Grainger 36 • Gordano Goose – 40ft Nigel Irens (1981) • Morpheus – Shuttleworth 39 Catamarans • Saggita – Woods 30 • Ushant – Grainger TR • DMS Vinyl – Dazcat 1495 • Hissy Fit – Dazcat 1495 • Sueños – Dazcat 1195 • Easy Tiger – Dazcat 995R • Belladonna – Dazcat 10 • Bare Necessities – Dazcat 1150 (along for the cruise!) The race route took the fleet from Plymouth to Falmouth, Falmouth to Fowey, and back to Plymouth — a fantastic way to start the season. Huge thanks to the organisers at the Royal Western Yacht Club and to sponsors Ullman Sails, Plymouth Gin and Allspars. The Falmouth dock party was a particular highlight and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone involved. Thanks also to Fowey Harbour for arranging pontoons for us and the Royal Fowey Yacht Club for accommodating us all with the BBQ. Enjoy the racing, the close-up boat shots, and the atmosphere of a brilliant opening weekend on the water.
