Hamilton Island Race Week 2026 was a memorable one indeed! Big breezes on every day bar the last, which turned on much-needed classic light airs, sunshine and flat seas, just when many were thinking they couldn’t manage another day of heavy air racing.
And while it wasn't one of the warmer years, there was a stack of action and some great imagery opportunities.
For the sailors there were lots of tired bodies by the last day, but there were smiles too, as wide as Dent Passage!
Here's a small selection of BCM's favourite pics of the week.
