Day five and counting at Hamilton Island Race Week, and we are getting to the business end of operations!

I was live for the first few starts in Dent Passage with the Hamilton Island (or cruising) Divisions, before ripping over to catch the IRC Passage Divisions. You can check out the livestream feeds below.

We hung in with Division 1 to watch the battle between the TP52's and the maxis that has developed over the past week. In the end, Wild Oats XI went on to beat Black Jack across the line, and at the time of writing this we were still waiting to see the outcome between the TP's which will decide the winner of the much sort after Rolex!

More tomorrow from this beautiful part of the world that is Hamilton Island.
