Winning the Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race by just 7 minutes
David Hows shares his race experience from the inaugural 530nm yacht race from Brisbane to Hamilton Island up Australia's east coast. This unlikely tale of a 27 year old Beneteau 45 foot yacht named Ocean Gem and a rookie crew is an example of preparation, determination and seat of the pants sailing to take out the 1st place on both IRC and PHS in Division 2 and finish 7th overall in a fleet of 16, behind grand prix yachts; Wild Oats X and five TP 52's. This episode provides insights into the highs and lows of ocean racing and whats possible if you do the basics well, even when you are racing against superior yachts.

Audi Hamilton Island Race Week 2017 - Day 1 Racer/Cruiser & Trailable Classes
With the crews of the Racer/Cruiser & Trailable classes sitting much closer to the water the sight of them skimming the seas ahead of the larger boats made us appreciate how long a race it was for these divisions.

MC31 World Premiere
In three short days at Geelong’s Festival of Sails, John Taylor’s and Rohan Veale’s brand new MC31s were unwrapped, rigged and raced for the first time with remarkable ease. And if the smiles on the faces of owners and crews at the end of each day’s racing was any measure of its destiny it seems that the latest addition to the McConaghy Boats’ stable shows all the promise of its popular sibling, the MC38.

이곳에는 원앤온리 라는 리조트 하나 만 있었고요.(현재 는 인터컨티넨탈 로 바뀜)
지리적 위치 때문에 많이 알려지지 않은곳입니다.
저희 가족은 시드니 에서 해밀턴섬으로 비행기 로 갔고. 헤이먼섬 으로 향하는 전용 요트 가 해밀턴섬 에서 출발 합니다.
저희 가 다녀온때는 2016년 12월 이였습니다.
이곳이 2017년 에 태풍 에 피해 를 입어 폐장 되었다가 인터콘티넨탈 에 인수 되어 2019년 7월 재오픈 을 앞두고 있다고 합니다.
그래서 이때 다녀온 영상 을 찾아서 올립니다.

Sailor Girl reports for NC Sports on 16 September 2016
My segment wrapping Audi Hamilton Island Race Week that first aired on the NC Sports show just over one month go, 16 September 2016, to over 20 million viewers across various networks, including the Sky Network.
My piece covers the on and off water action, including Beau Geste's third Aussie IRC Nationals win in a row, the picturesque racing to the grand prix match racing between maxis Wild Oats XI and Scallywag (nee Ragamuffin 100) and the return of the Australian Sailing Team medalists to Hamilton Island.
A massive thanks to Charles Langford for his amazing off the boat footage of Wild Oats XI at the start of the final race, and Hamilton Island for the stock footage not shot from on board. Edited by myself. To check out the live footage from on board Wild Oats XI, head to facebook.com/sailorgirlHQ/videos!

505 Worlds in Fremantle, Australia 2002 - Part One
Class president Ali Meller looks back at the 2002 Grolsch International 505 World Championship
Part Two of this video can be viewed from here
The 505 class chose to go to Fremantle, Western Australia for the 2002 World Championship expecting the Fremantle Doctor to deliver a windy series. While the Fremantle Doctor was a no-show except for the first race of each of the pre-worlds and worlds series, conditions were still very good with all worlds races but one in trapezing conditions, and most in planing upwind and wire-running downwind conditions. Wind ranged from fairly steady westerlies, to very shifty and puff easterlies. The shallow water over much of the racing area meant that the fleet dealt with a short steep chop rather than long ocean swells. The sailing area and the adjacent beaches were gorgeous. This was the first 505 world championship held with the new long luff spinnaker which is hoisted higher on the mast. The result of the change to the long luff spinnaker and a 505 worlds course that emphasizes downwind legs more, is that 505 racing has become more skiff-like, with teams going down the runs at hot angles with the crew on the wire and the pole on the forestay, searching for puffs, and gybing on the shifts. However knowing when to wire run and when to sail low or even dead downwind was key in conditions that frequently crossed the windspeed-and-wave boundary that favoured one over the other. The Australian Nationals/pre-worlds and World Championship fleets were impressive in numbers and in depth, with 102 teams being scored in the Australian Nationals/pre-worlds and 98 scored in the World Championship. Apart from a number of top 505 sailors who -- choosing to not sail other classes -- are virtually unknown outside of 505s, there were a number of well-known top competitors including:
•Two time 505 world champion Chris Nicholson, racing 505s again with his brother Darren. Chris has also had a rather good run in some skiff classes including winning something like 3 49er world championships and two 18 footer Grand Prix championships.
•Past 505 World Champion (he also won a silver medal in the 49ers in Sydney) Ian Barker, racing with Danny Cripps.
•Five time 505 world champion Krister Bergstrom with long time crew Thomas Moss.
•Multi-class world champion (but not 505s as yet) and multi-time 505 UK National Champion Ian Pinnell, racing again with Steve Hunt.
•Simon Payne racing with 1995 505 World Champion Bill Billy Boy Masterman.
•Past 505 World Champions Howard Hamlin/Mike Martin, who are also two of the three man team that won the Australian 18 footer Worlds -- the JJ Giltinan.
•Other strong Team Tuesday teams who practice every Tuesday afternoon with Hamlin/Martin are here too; Andy Beekman/Ben Benjamin (2nd at the 1999 Worlds) and Danny Thompson/Andy Zinn.
Audi Hamilton Island Race Week 2015 - Day 6 IRC Division
The penultimate day of racing saw the fleet setting out under grey skies that lifted to reveal another good day’s racing around the Whitsundays.
Racing Flying Circus-Vendovi Island sailboat race 4/14/18 4K Sony BYC.org
intense Port taking boat at start caused a lag but we worked to windward in light then growing wind from Bellingham to Vendovi Island. Around Eliza on the return leg it was slow. Drop and anchor slow. But as always this crew has fun!
thanks to the Bellingham Yacht Club for organizing byc.org
light air, strong breeze, no wind with anchor down to not be sweet out with the tide
