They're off and racing! - picture by A J Guesdon, 2014.
Lock Crowther was regarded as a world class Australian pioneer of multihull yacht design. The Multihull Division of the Royal Motor Yacht Club - Broken Bay, at Newport, recognises his dedication to the development of the modern multihull and named a Regatta in his honour.
The Lock Crowther Regatta has been hosted by the RMYC since 1996 and offers multihull owners both exciting racing and cruising programs. Once again the regatta is being held over this year's October long weekend on the beautiful waters of Pittwater and Broken Bay, NSW - starting with an optional Blue Water Classic ocean race on Friday 3 October 2014 for Safety Category 4 equipped boats with four inshore races to be sailed over Saturday and today, Sunday.

Pittwater Council has begun their upgrade of Palm Beach Wharf - the NSW Government is contributing $1.5 million to the project - the remainder to be funded by Council’s capital works budget. In summary, the existing ferry wharf is to be upgraded and converted to a stepped wharf with ramps. The wharf is to extend approximately 18m further into Pittwater at its western end. The proposal also entails the demolition and re-construction of about 33m of the length of the existing wharf.
