This is the first time since 2003 that multihulls have competed in the Pineapple Cup. The multihull course record of two days 20 hours eight minutes and five seconds was set in 1999 by the late Steve Fosset's Orma60 Lakota.
The outright course record is two days, 10 hours, 24 minutes and 42 seconds set in 2005 by Titan 12, a 75' Reichel/Pugh designed maxi boat.
