CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Along our bayfront this week, you’ll find dozens of wave boats docking at the Corpus Christi Marina as they gear up for the 2025 US Sailing Multihull Championship.

The annual event invites more than 85 athletes to the Coastal Bend, all here to take advantage of the Gulf winds as they sail the bay. The national championship attracts competitors from across the country, including those from as far away as Greece.

Organizers say the event is a true showcase of talent. Wendy Rice Larson said, “We do have several, several world champions. on different classes of  boats over the years. some are multiple class champions. we have some excellent sailors here.”

According to US Sailing’s website, is one of several prestigious championships hosted by US Sailing and sailed in selected one-design class boats. The perpetual trophy was presented and named the Alter Trophy in 1986 in honor of Hobie Alter, Sr. and his extraordinary promotion of one-design multihull sailing and racing programs.
