17.01.2022 Competitors out for another day of racing Refreshed from the lay day and having effected any repairs. or undertaken training, the 64 boats competing at the Whitsunday Sailing Club hosted Airlie Beach Race Week Whitsundays Festival of Sailing 2020, are back on the water today for Day 4 of racing. Sun is forecast along with breezes of around 10 knots, which will keep most competitors happy compared to Day 1 and light moments on Day 3. ... Race Director, Ross Chisholm, is sending IRC Passage, Performance Racing and Cruising Division 1 on a 27 nautical mile course taking in Pioneer Bay, Gumbrell and Olden Islands and Grimston. Cruising Division 2, Non-Spinnaker and Multihull Passage are on a course from Pioneer Bay taking in Edwin Rock, Grassy Island and Grimston along the way. The Multihull Racing division is moving to windward/leeward racing, which may shake up the results. Out on the race track, the Multihull Racing division is keeping thrill seekers and speed enthusiasts absorbed at this 32nd running of Airlie Beach Race Week. The newly arrived ORMA 60 (Dale Mitchell) and Back in Black, the Extreme 40 (Michel Van Der Zwaard), have so far been the ones to watch; the former won the opening two races and finished third in Race 3, to lead the pointscore. Back in Black nabbed Race 3, adding to a second and third, to remain in contention in second place overall. Keeping both honest is previous winner, G’Nome, the Grainger 075 owned by Terry Archer. Mitchell and his class team on ORMA 60 have most enjoyed Day 2’s breezy conditions: We were pleasantly surprised when the breeze built to a shave over 15 knots. It was, as the Kiwis say, Peachy, peachy Airlie Beachie. The team put in another great effort from start to finish and were rewarded with a second win on corrected time. Airlie Beach Race Week Whitsundays Festival of Sailing is the region’s premier sporting and community event.

16.01.2022 Back in Black and Team Hollywood in control Back in Black has exerted her authority on the rest of the Multihull Racing fleet today, the Extreme 40 won both races on windward/leeward courses at the 2020 Airlie Beach Race Week Whitsundays Festival of Sailing, while Ray Roberts’ Team Hollywood has made it four from four in the IRC Rating Passage Division.

08.01.2022 Desperado and G’Nome slay the giants A long wait ashore for 64 crews as officials continued to monitor the weather, or lack thereof on the Pioneer Bay course, for the penultimate day of Airlie Beach Race Week Whitsundays Festival of Sailing, hosted by Whitsunday Sailing Club (WSC). But it was worth the wait for some. Just ask Graham Sherring in the Passage Rating division and Terry Archer in Multihull Racing....Continue reading

04.01.2022 Another day for the light air specialists Sunshine finally poked through the clouds, and competitors aboard the 64 competing boats at the 2020 Airlie Beach Race Week Whitsundays Festival of Sailing did not find the anticipated 15 knots, instead the breeze peaked at 8 knots. Entrants in the Performance Racing division took their turn at windward/leeward course racing, sailing two races of two laps each in 6-8 knots.

02.01.2022 When the chips are down humour is precious Leon Weaver left the race course yesterday thinking he had won the Trailable Yachts Race 3 to claim the overall division lead at Airlie Beach Race Week Whitsundays Festival of Sailing, however, in the blink of an eye things changed, and Weaver’s humour had to kick into gear. Weaver’s boat is Jakal, a Highlander 25 which sails well in light air, and 6-8 knots was just the ticket for the Tasmanian crew. But you need to sail the corre...Continue reading
