Noakes Sydney Gold Coat Yacht Race - Fleet Start

Four supermaxis and a fleet of TP52s was enough encouragement for Bow Caddy Media to get up in the air to catch the start of the Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race.

With an AP declared, the Bow Caddy team waited patiently at the airport as the minutes ticked down to the cut off for our chopper hire. Remarkably, close to the last minute, the north-east wind came in, the AP was lowered and the Bow Caddy Team flew straight to the Harbour for some exciting footage.
