From Captain Marty over at Asian Yachting who is covering the 2014 Phuket Multihull Solutions regatta:

July 10th: During the 2011 Multihull Championship, we wisely predicted that "Multihull's are the flavour of the decade" and haven't been proved wrong yet. With boat designers, builders and composite experts, relocating to Phuket and surrounding SE Asian countries, the growth has been phenomenal and some very functional and sleek racing machines have emerged. For the Ao Chalong Yacht Club this is the 7th running of the 'Multihull Only' event and since Multihull Solutions have opened branches in Asia, sponsoring the regatta is a natural move and immediately raised the profile of the event to its former glory days.

Multihull Solutions, out of water boat show allows potential multihull buyers to inspect multihulls inside and out. Located at the Boat Works in the Gold Coast Marine precinct

From the following entry on the Multihull Solutions website:

http://www.multihullsolutions.com.au/pre-owned-multihulls/out-of-water-multihull-boat-show

Out-of-Water Boat Show As the name suggests, the Out-of-Water Multihull Boat Show is a display of multihull boats “out of the water” as opposed to them being exhibited in marina berths. Located at The Boat Works in the Gold Coast Marine Precinct, Australia’s leading multihull service boatyard, the Out-Of-Water Boat Show will display a wide range of multihulls from renowned Australian and international brands including Schionning, Catana, Grainger, Fountaine Pajot, Leopard, Lagoon, Seawind and more.

A line-up of premium multihulls will be on display seven days a week. These will be predominantly pre-owned vessels with a selection of new vessels being launched into the market. There is a very select range on display with all boats required to meet a certain criteria: they must be reputable designs, in good condition and realistically priced. This new style of brokerage is set to make the sales process a lot simpler for both buyers and sellers.
