This event has grown each year from humble beginnings, an idea of the founder of the Hog's Breath Cafe to help promote the opening of the first Hog's Breath Cafe in Australia.
Race Week has been a part of Airlie Beach now for 16 years and the best is yet to come. Plans are in place for the 2007 Meridien Airlie Beach Race Week with new ideas for keeping the owners, skippers and their crews happy and entertained.
