Australia's Corsair Marine Dealer, David Renouf, has just won the Coca Cola Multihull Championship in a Sprint 750 MKII as part of the Festival of Sails - Australia's oldest regatta.

Yesterday's BYM Sailing and Sports News, in an article titled, Photographers’ delight as Festival of Sails wraps up for some divisions, has reported on a Corsair Sprint 750 MKII - crewed by Corsair Marine's Australian Dealer, David Renouf - winning the Coca Cola Multihull Series held in Geelong, Australia. This regatta is Australia's oldest and has a history of 168 years.

The article reports:

"The Coca Cola Multihull Series went to David Renouf’s Corsair Sprint 750, Yabb, crewed by David (Renouf), his 14 year-old daughter Sophie and one other.

"Renouf, the Australian Corsair agent, brought the trimaran to the Festival of Sails to show its capabilities and he’s done exactly that with a corrected time victory over Craig Unthank’s Sknot and Tim Pepperell’s Bare Essentials.

“ 'It’s the first time the Corsair 750 has raced at the Festival of Sails and in fact at an Australian regatta,' Renouf pointed out.

"From Geelong it’s off to the Melbourne Summer Boat Show for the winning Corsair (which will be held from 3-5 February 2012 at Docklands).
