HAMILTON ISLAND RACE WEEK

Hamilton Island Race Week is one of the most spectacular regattas on the Australian sailing calendar. Held each August in the Whitsundays, the event brings together the best crews from across the country and beyond for six days of fiercely contested racing in one of the world’s most challenging and beautiful venues.

For Moneypenny, each day is a fresh battle. The courses weave through narrow channels, around rocky headlands, and across open passages between the islands, demanding constant precision in navigation and sail handling. Trade winds can deliver blistering downwind runs at full power, while other days require patient, tactical work in lighter conditions - all under the watchful eye of a fleet ready to pounce on any mistake.

While each race is a stand-alone contest, every result contributes to the overall series score. Consistency is key — one bad race can undo a week of hard work, while a string of strong results can secure the podium. Hamilton Island Race Week demands adaptability, flawless execution, and relentless focus, and for Moneypenny, it’s a chance to prove our speed and skill against the very best.
