APC Logistics - Lock Crowther Multihull Regatta - Tony Considine's Mad Max took a clean sweep of five from five line honours victories and Darren Drew's Indian Chief took the handicap double, first overall OMR and overall PHS.

These two lightweight power house Grainger cats were first and second respectively in every race of the Regatta point score. Saturdays racing saw some spirited sailing in blustery conditions and Sunday's racing was held in fluky conditions with wind from all directions.

The fleet of 26 multihulls ranged from 24 foot Farrier trailer trimarans to the beautiful Crowther 50 'La belle' and the recently launched Grainger Chincogan 52 foot cat 'Countess'. They enjoyed close racing which saw a number of close battles over the race course.

The Barrink designed 9 metre trimaran, Lukim Yu and the Egan 9 meter trimaran Voodoo Spirit were locked together for most of Sunday swapping positions on a number of occasions.

The cruising division was well represented this year with entries from various ports along the NSW coast .

The Cruising division overall prize went to David Drew with his Oram 43 cat Starfire. This made it a regatta farther/son clean sweep for the overall results in both racing and cruising divisions.

Final results - Racing Division. Line honours - Mad Max, OMR 1st Indian Chief, 2nd Lukim Yu, 3rd Off The Rails. PHS 1st Indian Chief, 2nd Voodoo Spirit, 3rd XL2.

Cruising Division - no extras Phs 1st Starfire, 2nd Te Arawa, 3rd La Belle
