Early entries in this year’s SeaLink Magentic Island Race Week are being offered more chances to win a very special prize.

Through the support of SeaLink and Dufour Marine, entries in the regatta, which is being held from August 27 to September 1, will be given three tickets in the draw to win two flights to Townsville and seven nights accommodation in a two-bedroom apartment in the stunning, five-star Peppers Blue on Blue Resort on Magnetic Island for next year’s 10th SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week.


The catch is owners need to enter by the end of June. After that entries will be offered two tickets in the same draw if they enter the regatta by the end of the end of July and just one ticket if they enter by August 26.

For those boat owners who haven’t made it to this regatta, as yet, this is the year to join in the excitement of racing the pristine waters that surround one of Australia’s most beautiful sailing venues. After tick tacking their way along the stunning island shore line or charging across Cleveland Bay and along the city shore, the sailors return to the Magnetic Island Marina where the post-race party starts and stays right at the dock in the shadows of Peppers Blue on Blue Resort. Then it’s time to move onto the nightly street party or just settle into an island restaurant and savour the affordable, relaxed atmosphere.

This year’s regatta is offering in seven divisions - IRC, PHS, Cruising with Spinnaker, Cruising Non Spinnaker, Classic Yachts, Multihulls Racing and Multihulls Cruising divisions.

Once the skippers and crews have enjoyed the good life of the 2015 SeaLink Magentic Island Race Week, they should book their island berth and room for the 10th anniversary before they leave. For one lucky boat owner, the booking is already in place, it’s just now up to them to enter the regatta to secure their place in regatta history.

Registrations are open online on the website for the ninth Annual SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week.
