Audi Hamilton Island Race Week – Day 3

August 23, 2010

Day three at the Audi Hamilton Island Race week started with very calm weather conditions. More than three hours after their scheduled start and on a completely different course area the IRC Grand Prix, IRC Passage 1 and Performance 1 fleets got away on altered courses. The afternoon the Whitsundays were a sailor’s paradise with sunshine and enough breeze to get around the track in reasonable time.

Traditionally today is the long Club Marine race before the layday, but given the forecast the race committee late yesterday replaced the 60 miler with the 40 mile St Helen Rock Race starting in Dent Passage.

Kiwi race officer Megan Kensington had a busy morning moving the start from the Dent start line to the southern then the eastern starting area, the fleet following the race committee boat eastwards like ducklings trailing their mother. Then the St Helen Rock race was replaced with an entirely new race around a windward mark and Pentecost with the finish in Catseye Bay.

While waiting for the play button to finally be pressed the IRC big boats got the jitters and were general recalled. By the time they returned the AP flag was flying and the course was re-set following a 45 degree wind shift from east north east to almost due east at eight knots, causing further delay.

Second time they remained contained behind the start line until the starting signal sounded.

Peter Millard and John Honan’s 98 footer Lahana, the Goliath of the IRC Grand Prix fleet, flexed its muscle to lead the fleet around the 24 nautical mile course for its second line honours victory. Aboard are a number of well known names with plenty of big boat racing notches on their belts from Brindabella’s heyday, including Bob Fraser, Geoff Cropley and Stephen Byron.

On handicap it was a Victorian whitewash with Michael Hiatt’s Farr 55, Rob Date’s RP52 Scarlet Runner and Nicholas Bartels’ Cookson 50 Terra Firma filling the top three spots.

“Today was about how you accelerated and got around Pentecost Island,” said Hiatt. “We had a great start and it went like clockwork from there. Now we have our confidence up,” warned last year’s winner.

Next Victorian boat on the ladder was Rob Hanna’s Victorian TP52 Shogun, with six-time Olympic sailor Colin Beashel in Hanna’s ear calling tactics, in sixth.

Also on the track today was a pair of albino dolphins and a mother humpback and her calf enjoying a leisurely meander in the calm seas.

Tomorrow is a rest day for all crews. Instead of sailing they have a kaleidoscope of shoreside activities to choose from including the famous Moet and Chandon lunch or, for the more energetic, beach cricket and footy at Catseye Beach or the Wayne Arthurs tennis clinic.

At the airport crews will have an opportunity to show their mettle behind the wheel of an Audi S5 Sportback in the Audi Final Challenge which starts at 8am. The results of tomorrow’s spin around the racetrack combined with an on-water divisional win will determine who wins the Audi A5 Sportback at Saturday’s trophy presentation marking the series finish.

Audi Hamilton Island Race Week 2010 – Day 2.

August 22, 2010

Sailing yacht Loki’s winning fortunes are unchanged at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week with a perfect series scorecard of three IRC wins from three starts after day two of racing.

Named after the Norse god of mischief, the Stephen Ainsworth owned and Gordon Maguire helmed RP63 has hit its stride this year, winning its division of the Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta back in March and following that up with a win overall in the Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race earlier this month.

Sailing yacht Loki is top dog on the Race Week IRC Grand Prix series pointscore and after today’s two wins is just 0.32 of a point away from taking the yellow leader’s jersey for the Audi IRC Australian Championship off Harvey Milne’s Aroona, which has led the championship from the outset. Audi Hamilton Island Race Week is the decider in the four part series.

If any in their division are wondering how to stop the Loki lightning bolt, there’s no trickery as the boat’s moniker suggests. The winning formula according to navigator Michael Bellingham is “the great mood on the boat, plus we have a great sail selection and we are quick to recover from any errors”. 

With yacht Loki rounding the top can of today’s first windward/leeward race in the company of the RP66 Wild Oats X and ahead of Black Jack, those two sisterships, which are heavily stacked with sailing royalty must be scratching their heads as to how they can reel the very polished Loki in over the coming five days of competition.

For Peter Harburg, owner of the Queensland based Black Jack, it’s all about the line honours and they have only one boat on their radar, Wild Oats X, which is being helmed by Iain Murray or ‘the Kindergarten Cop’ as he’s been nicknamed.

Murray, an Olympic and America’s Cup sailor and Commodore of Hamilton Island Yacht Club, is in charge of the ‘kid’s boat’ and with the average age of the Wild Oats X crew just twenty something, he’s also responsible for “dragging the average age up slightly”. They certainly aren’t kids in terms of experience though, with the decorated match racer Stacey Jackson and 18 foot skiff champion Seve Jarvin joining North Sails’ Julian Plante and two-time round the world sailor Scott Beavis on the slick red-shirted crew.

Today the IRC Grand Prix division raced two windward/leewards races on the Eastern start area to the south of the Fitzalan Passage in a 10-12 knot sou’east breeze and on a lumpy seaway.

It was a big boat day in terms of the IRC handicap stakes with Loki leading Wild Oats X then Black Jack in the first and second race respectively. The best performing 50 footer amongst the strong pack was Geoff Boettcher’s South Australian RP51 Secret Mens Business 3.5, which picked up a podium place in the first race of the day.

In the series pointscore Michael Hiatt’s Victorian Farr 55 Living Doll is trailing Loki and Wild Oats X.

Near the course area today was a mother and calf humpback whale, both breaching playfully as the superyacht Kokomo slid silently by.

It will be early to bed for most tonight given tomorrow’s 61 nautical mile Club Marine Classic Long Race for the IRC Grand Prix, IRC division 1 and Superyacht divisions. First off the blocks will be the Grand Prix division starting at 8.40am in Dent Passage followed by the remaining divisions which are sailing a combination of the St Helen Rock Race and an around the islands race.

Audi Hamilton Island Race Week 2010 Begins

August 21, 2010

With their votes cast at the Hamilton Island polling booth this morning, competitors in the 27th Audi Hamilton Island Race Week cast lines and set off to determine their own outcomes in Australia’s premier offshore regatta, which began today with the traditional Molle Islands Race.

The melting pot of keel boats, from Melges to the super sized from around Australia and as far away as the USA, began the week-long regatta with a Dent Passage spinnaker start, most judging the favourable ebb tide as kites were popped for the long run across the Whitsunday Passage to the Molle Islands in a handy 12 knot average sou’east breeze.

Some took a while to get the cloth out of the bag, last night’s Front Street entertainment, including guitar legend Diesel, proving too great a lure as curfews were momentarily forgotten and crews took the dance floor to mark the official opening of Race Week.  

Without naming names, the bowman of L’atitude was today spotted at the pointy end of the West Australian Beneteau 50.5 with numerous fluorescent pink airline-style fragile stickers plastered to his shirt, and a rather guilty smile on his face.

In the opening round of the IRC Grand Prix clash Stephen Ainsworth’s RP63 Loki continued its unbeatable form, helmsman Gordon Maguire staking his patch early with a win by a minute from Michael Hiatt’s Victorian Farr 55 Living Doll which recovered well from an average start.

From a smokin’ IRC fleet Loki was named overall winner of the Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race earlier this month.

More than 200 yachts have started racing today at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.   The regatta is Australia’s largest offshore yachting regatta.

The event kicked off with a welcome cocktail party and fireworks at the new Hamilton Island Yacht Club, last night.  Photographer Andrea Francolini captured this great image.

“We started conservatively and well, and we were able to hang with the 66 footers,” said Ainsworth this afternoon. “We didn’t take any risks and ground out the result. So far so good.”

The Iain Murray skippered RP 66 Wild Oats X and Queensland sistership Black Jack, owned by Peter Harburg and skippered by Mark Bradford, resumed their on-water tug of war for line honours supremacy, Murray declaring this morning “I’ve inherited Ricko’s (Mark Richards) legacy of going after Black Jack’s jugular”.

First points went to Wild Oats X, which is sure to ignite Bradford’s highly ticketed crew including fellow America’s Cup sailors Craig Monk, Gavin Brady calling tactics and Jamie Gale in the pit.

After smartly riding Wild Oats X’s coat tails out of Dent Passage, Rob Date’s Victorian RP52 Scarlet Runner managed fifth in race one while it was red faces for Peter Millard’s crew of Lahana which lost miles trying to recover from sail issues as the rest of the fleet sailed inside them at the northern tip of North Molle Island.

Tomorrow the temperature will rise when the IRC fleet heads to the windward/leeward course area to separate the men from the boys.

The Australian team won the South Pacific Cup against the kiwis when it was first contested two years ago.

The broadest cross-section of keelboats – from tiny cruising yachts through to the ultimate Grand Prix level racers and superyachts – will be part of the 27th staging of Hamilton Island Race Week. The scene at the tropical destination – which is in the middle of the magnificent Whitsunday Islands and on the fringe of the Great Barrier Reef – is already nothing short of spectacular. While more yachts enter Hamilton Harbour each hour and begin preparations for the week of racing, the surface of Dent Passage, immediately adjacent to Hamilton Island Yacht Club, is dominated by two stunning superyachts – the 50-metre long ketch Perseus, and the incredible new 58-metre sloop, Kokomo. This all combines to promise an exceptional week of sailing and on-shore fun.

Audi Hamilton Island Race Week 2010 Tops 200 Yachts

August 10, 2010

Audi Hamilton Island Race Week is a big deal down under with many keen Aussie and Kiwi (and now international) sailors taking part. The Whitsunday Islands on Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef is a beautiful destination and an ideal racing ground. The Audi Hamilton Island Race Week is a growing regatta and has again confirmed its status as Australia’s premier keelboat regatta in 2010 with the fleet number of sailing yachts entered now exceeding the magical figure of 200.

With the regatta starting on August 20, 2010 and late entries still to come it is possible that the figure will reach 210. At last count it stood at 205.

‘It’s extremely satisfying for us to see such an impressive number of yachts lining up this year,’ said Hamilton Island’s CEO and sailing world champion, Glenn Bourke. ‘The fleet represents an amazing cross-section of keelboats; an eclectic selection from the smallest to the largest.

‘Our job now is to present these sailing enthusiasts who have come from across Australia and overseas with the best possible regatta – and I’m sure we will do that. We are determined to have them enjoy every aspect of Race Week, on the water and on the island.’

The 200th entry was a brand new Beneteau Oceanis 50, The Waughship, so new in fact that the first time owner Bruce Waugh will sail her will be when he starts in the non-spinnaker Cruising Division at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week.

Waugh, who will be competing at the regatta for the sixth time, said he and his three mates who will be making up the crew will be there simply to have a good time and meet good people.

Yachts representing the two extremes of the fleet were among the latest entries. One was a 6.1 metre SB3 sport boat and the other the giant new 58-metre long sleek superyacht, Kokomo. 

There are so far four Superyachts entered in the 2010 Regatta:

Hamilton Island Race Week’s naming rights sponsor, Audi, is the fastest growing German luxury carmaker, and the largest supporter of yachting, in Australia.

Audi Hamilton Island Race Week is Australia’s largest and most awarded keelboat regatta.

Race Week was conceived by David Hutchen in 1983, after he had moved to the Whitsundays with his yacht “Banjo Paterson” to start a yacht charter business. David was able to convince the then owner and founder of Hamilton Island, Keith Williams, to agree to hosting the event as a way of generating tourism and favorable media attention to the resort.

Prix d’ Elegance crew competition at the Audi Hamilton Island Race Week 2010

July 07, 2010

Creative genius is all that will be required for two crews to return home with impressive trophies from at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week 2010.

These prizes will come as due recognition for the category winners in the Prix d’ Elegance, a contest that delivers yet another fun factor to the week of great sailing and exceptional on-shore entertainment. It’s open to every yacht and crew competing at the Race Week, from the smallest cruising boats through to massive superyachts.

There will be two categories:

The Best Presented Yacht and Crew (yacht in first-class trim, and matching crew uniforms)

The Best Fun-Themed Yacht and Crew (let your imagination run wild)

At last year’s Race Week it was a crew impeccably attired in safari suits and a yacht that glistened from stem to stern that won the ‘Best Presented’ award, while the trophy for the best ‘Fun-Themed’ yacht went to eight ‘Michael Jacksons’ who had choreographed their own dance routine for the ‘Thriller’ movie theme.

Many crews are already planning their Prix d’ Elegance entries for this year, one from as far away as Tahiti. That’s where the Superyacht Division entry, the 50-metre long ketch Perseus, is currently located, and the crew has been making inquiries about what extremes previous winners had gone to when it came to claiming the trophies. They were told ‘being different wins’.

The Prix d’ Elegance is scheduled for the morning of Friday, August 27 this year. The judges will be located on the Flag Deck of Hamilton Island Yacht Club, and the yachts will be required to parade past the club as they head out for the start of racing. The club’s decks will also provide perfect vantage points for the hundreds of spectators who will be there to enjoy the fun and frivolity.

This year the 27th staging of Audi Hamilton Island Race Week is scheduled for August 20 to 28. Apart from offering some of the best keelboat racing imaginable around spectacular and uninhabited tropical islands, Race Week boasts a diverse and exciting social program unlike anything experienced at other regattas in Australia.
