Pure Blonde Hamilton Island Outrigger Cup 2009. The Whitsundays put on a postcard perfect last day for the 42km OC6 marathon race.
No waves, plenty of sun and some a lot of action when the crews changed while charging full speed ahead.
The course brought the competitors around Dent Island clockwise starting at Hamilton Island’s North Point with the first crew changes at the Lighthouse on Dent Island. Once the competitors completed that loop they left Hamilton’s South Head to their right and aimed for Pentecost Island (anti clockwise) heading back to Hamilton turning around Fitzalan Island and cross the finish line on Catseye Bay
Great way to finish a 4 day event which is not for the faint hearted or lazy people!
Our thanks to Andrea Francolini - www.afrancolini.com for these images of the day.
