Seawind Whitsunday Rally sails into Town |
The third annual Seawind Whitsunday Rally will soon set sail from Shute Harbour on Saturday June 20 for a week of racing and partying around the Whitsunday Islands onboard 14 Seawind catamarans.
Approximately 60 crew members will join the fun filled week of social racing and activities, flying in from all around Australia and overseas. The rally will have the fleet race from island to island with a party or event at each of the seven destinations, including Shute Harbour, Long Island, Shaw Island, Hamilton Island, Whitehaven Beach, Butterfly Bay and South Molle Island.
The rally is part of a year long series of regattas and cruising safaris around Australia (including Sydney, Jervis Bay, Moreton Bay, Mandurah WA) and the Americas (including Catalina Island - California, Mexico and the Bahamas) with approximately 100 Seawind catamarans and 500 crew members participating throughout the year.
The Seawind range is available for charter from operators located at Abel Point Marina such as event sponsors Whitsunday Private Yacht Charters or Whitsunday Rent A Yacht from Shute Harbour. The general public are encouraged to charter a Seawind to participate in the rally, with the event now running every 12 months.
Daily updates from the committee boat will be made on Twitter (search: seawindcats), Face Book (search: Seawind Catamarans) and Flickr (Search: Seawind Catamarans) including photos and place winners.
