Hamilton Island Race Week Wrap Up

A final blast to the Molle Islands and back in trade winds up to 22 knots closed out the 38th Hamilton Island Race Week and decided the trophy winners on Saturday.  The near 180-strong fleet featured a cross section of boats from every Australian state plus five international yachts. Close to 2,000 sailors put on a sensational display across the week, both in terms of performance and mateship.

Congratulations to all the MHYC boats and crews who performed so well throughout the week.
