THE 2018 U. S. MULTIHULL CHAMPIONSHIP was hosted by the Fort Walton Yacht Club in conjunction with the WetaFest. 41 competitors( 33 singlehanded, 4 doublehanded) tallied 10 races during the week in a variety of conditions.
Legendary multihull sailor, Randy Smyth, won his record-setting fifth career Hobie Alter Trophy for the U. S. Multihull Championship.
The real story of this class and the ability to learn to sail the Weta was exemplified by 17-year-old Fort Walton High School junior, Cam Farrah. She placed 10th overall and mixed it up with the experienced multihull sailors admirably all week.
