Exciting Developments for the Caribbean Multihull Challenge
However, the Caribbean Multihull Challenge (CMC) is set to make waves again in 2027. Registration has opened for this thrilling event, scheduled from February 4 to 7 in Sint Maarten. Each year, the CMC attracts elite multihull racing, and the upcoming edition promises to be no exception.
Furthermore, the Sint Maarten Yacht Club (SMYC) will be the host once again. This venue is renowned for its top-tier facilities and breathtaking views. This year marks the ninth edition of the CMC, showcasing some of the fastest and most impressive yachts in the Caribbean.
New Classes and Competitions at CMC
Moreover, the organizers have announced exciting new elements for the 2027 edition. All multihull classes will be represented, including those with CSA and MOCRA ratings. A dedicated Diam 24 one-design class will also return. In addition, F18s and Hobies will now be welcomed to the competition.
Additionally, the introduction of the Line Honors award in 2026 has set the stage for greater competition. The 2027 CMC will award trophies to both catamarans and trimarans competing in all classes. This change enhances the competitive atmosphere and increases the chances of winning for participants.
Rally and Social Events Enhance the Experience
Notably, the CMC is not solely focused on racing. The CMC Rally will run alongside the main events, catering to cruising enthusiasts. Participants will explore stunning locations like Friar’s Bay and Orient Bay while competing in time trials and navigator challenges.
Additionally, this year promises a vibrant social scene. Each evening, crews will gather for social events based out of the Sint Maarten Yacht Club. A fun gathering on Kim Sha Beach will add to the camaraderie. This blend of racing and social activities makes the CMC a unique experience for all involved.
