Yesterday's closing race of the 23rd Hahn Premium Hamilton Island Race Week signalled the end of a week’s racing in the beautiful Whitsunday Islands and confirmed final handicap placings across the ten divisions.

The week began with strong sou’easterly breezes before a high pressure system descended over the racetrack, raising temperatures and forcing crews to seek alternate forms of on-water entertainment including waterskiing, swimming, whale watching and spinnaker surfing while they waited for the nor’easters to roll in – and they did.

Starts were delayed and courses were altered for the last five days of racing but competitors took it in their stride and made the most of the lighter conditions to herald the regatta another huge success.

IRC Big Boat results were finalised yesterday however the overall handicap winner Steven David’s Wild Joe (12 points) and Stephen Ainsworth’s second placed Loki (14 points) still sailed today’s 19 mile course around the Molle Islands. Bob Oatley’s third placed Wild Oats (22 points) suffered a mishap on the start line today and retired leaving Grant Wharington’s Skandia to its final line honours win.

Sydney yachtsman Ray Roberts and his crew finally put an end to the fight for the Hahn Premium Hamilton Island Race Week IRC Racing trophy, beating his nemesis Geoff Boettcher and his Reichel/Pugh 46 Hardys Secret Mens Business from South Australia by just two points. Quantum Racing finished on 21 points, Secret Mens on 23 points and their sistership XLR8, owned by Ballarat based businessman Graeme Troon and helmed by John Savage, finished third on 31 points.

Steve Kulmar’s Shining Sea finished the regatta on 13 points, the clear overall winner in the Sydney 38 division. Guido Belgiorno-Nettis’ defending champion Transfusion, which also sailed a short race today after finding themselves on the bricks off Dent Island, finished second in division on 24 points and Steve Proud’s Swish finished third on 34 points.

The smaller boats dominated the Performance Handicap division, Guy and Clarke Holbert’s Rumbo leading the pointscore following Tuesday’s two windward/leewards and never giving away the advantage to finish first on 19 points. John Moore’s Swarbrick 10.2 which was trucked 5,342 miles from Mandurah south of Perth finished second in division on 23 points ahead of CYCA Commodore Geoff Lavis’ Inglis/Murray 50 UBS Wild Thing on 29 points.

In the Premier Cruising Class Graeme Wood’s Sydney 47 Wot's Next overcame a bad start to hitch a ride on the stern wave of UBS Wild Thing on the winning downhill slide to the finish.

'We went out today with two clear goals, a clean start in clear air and we didn’t manage either. Luckily we had a get out of gaol free card when UBS dragged us at least 100 metres on the run to the finish to put us in a great spot against Balance,' said Wood, the founder of Wotif.com

Wood sailed this regatta with a top crew including the legendary Ron Jacobs and a number of rock stars from Bob Steel’s former Quest 'who were boatless when my mine popped out of the mould,' said Woods.

Paul Clitheroe’s Balance (9 points), a sistership to Wot’s Next, finished second overall in the Premier Cruising class by three points and Laurence Freedman’s Espresso Forte finished in third on 19 points.

'We’ve been campaigning this boat for nine months and they’ve only had a month in the water, that’s the difference. It was great having another Sydney 47CR beside us, they really lifted us against the rest of the fleet,' added Woods

In the IRC Cruising Class, Ray Harris, with veteran Rolex Sydney Hobart yachtsman Michael Spies calling tactics, picked up his first Hahn Premium Hamilton Island Race Week win with his Beneteau 44.7 Honeysuckle. Results in this division also went down to the wire, Honeysuckle won the final race to finish with a handy three point lead over Luke McGrath's Sydney 36 Greater Springfield (11 points) at closing time.

'We won it in the last race,' said Harris yesterday afternoon. 'We were the fastest boat out there today, the crew sailed the boat incredibly well.'

Harris has been sailing with some of his crew for the best part of 11 years and this win is a career highlight.

Greg MacMahon’s Beneteau 44.6 Afternoon finished third in the IRC Cruising division on 18 points.

In the Cruising Red division, the husband and wife team of Brad and Maryke Barker from Gladstone who also had two of their three sons on board for this regatta, sailed superbly to claim the divisional win with their Beneteau 423 Spirit on a count back.

'The handicapping was spot on because six or seven boats in our division could have beaten us going into today. You always come to a regatta thinking you’ll do your best but…well we are still bit stunned,' admitted Brad once results were posted.

Will Barker, 25, and Tom Barker, who is making a name for himself in the Sydney youth match racing scene, were joined this week by some of the crew of the 1998 Sydney Hobart overall winner AFR Midnight Rambler including skipper Ed Psaltis and brother Arthur.

David Bell’s Four Bells suffered damage early in the week but recovered nicely to place second in Cruising Red results also on 19 points. On a count back, the win went to Spirit in the closest divisional results of the series.

After sailing more than 2,000 nautical miles, Dick Knoop from Bruny Island in Tasmania finished with some silverware in third place on 20 points with his Knoop 11.9m Magellan.

In the Cruising White division, John Bankart’s Jeanneau 37 Sunshine Coast Sailing finished ahead of the rest on 18 points, three points clear of John Barter’s Dehler 41 L’attitude and Ross Muir’s Beneteau 47.3 Muir from Brisbane.

While the final race wasn’t one of their best, William McMillian’s Sonata 8 Nessie, one of the smallest boats in the 159 strong fleet, still managed to be the best placed in the Cruising Blue division when final points were tallied, finishing on 15 points, three ahead of Dean Corbett’s Jeanneau 40 Silhouette on 18 points. Grant Chipper field’s Clubman 8 The Joker from Mornington in Victoria finished third on 21 points.

In another close finish, Dave Short’s Hunter 33 Pro Beat Passion (7 points) beat its closest Cruising Non-Spinnaker comrade, Bryan Hudson’s Catalyst, by just one point with another one point back to the third placed Inca, skippered by Noel Sneddon from Canberra.
