Hirondelle Association

The Hirondelle Association is for Multihull sailors who have a leaning towards the Hirondelle catamaran. It was first set up by a few like minded and dedicated guys who exchanged ideas and comments and enjoyed sailing their excellent little craft. In those early days there was only time to work for a living, sail as much as was possible and then maintain the boats.

As technology has moved forward, a few things have become a little easier and allowed us just a little more time, this has been used to set up the Association, now we can communicate much more readily and hopefully enthuse each other to get more involved in our sport (or enjoyable pastime).

We are a forward looking group with a driving force to improve our boats and our enjoyment of them, we will do that by passing on our ideas and any modifications we may feel we can justify, without too much compromising the original design.

All our members have the option of their say in the quarterly newsround, we print articles with regard to; holiday cruises, weekend trips, modifications to boats, cruising area notes and any other topics placed before us.

We now have the technology to produce good colour photographs both in print and on the web site. We will undertake to advertise your boat in the newsrounds and pass on any contacts direct to you, we do not currently make a charge for this service.

We market our own design pennant, we give each member who participates on one of our east coast UK cruises a survivor's plaque. We organise at least two meets a year which also occur on the east coast, other areas could follow given the members requirements.
