Welcome to the Venom Sailing website.
Here you will find out everything you need to know about Venom, the 12.8m racing trimaran and her crew.
There is plenty of information about the boat and lots of shots of the build so far
In addition there are images of the original Venom as well as many other ‘classics’ (Escapade, Bagatelle, XL2, Ocean Emu, Voodoo and many more) and a few videos thrown in.
You can also refresh your memory of the racing rules whilst you are here – the rule of the day is on the sidebar.
Work has only begun on the site – so stay tuned to keep up to date.
Whilst we are getting other stuff up on the site please enjoy some of our recent Facebook posts.
Venom is safely back in Adelaide again.
The return journey on Sunday was only made possible by the efforts of many people. Yet again, the support provided by the South Australian Multihull community was outstanding.
It is often said that out of adversity, many good things can come - the help we received from so many people certainly reinforces that.
Thanks to the Port Lincoln Yacht Club for their assistance in berthing and allowing us to stay on a berth easy to get on and off from. Evelina was really helpful when we lost the rudder, Richard helped us get in safely, and Hayden helped sort out where we could stay (and gave us beer).
The crew (David, Todd, Ben, Chris and Peter) sorted out a better outboard steering system, organised to get the float rudder system to Port Lincoln, fitted it to the boat in the middle of the night, then helped get her home. And all done with a smile.
Enormous thanks to David and Gerry who pulled an all nighter driving the gear from Adelaide.
Big thanks also to Peter Boyd and Peter Hawker for organising all the bits in Adelaide so they were ready for David and Gerry to pick up.
Special mention of appreciation for Mark and Karen Johns from Aquila, who got up in the middle of the night to help us fit the rudders and lent us their dinghy - the hot coffee they provided helped a lot too!☕️☕️☕️
It is great to be home - and even better to be surrounded by so many wonderful people.
hi Bob How did the trip home go with the float rudders. Did they do the job.
Cheers
