Whitsunday Sailing Club
The Whitsunday Sailing Club is located in Airlie Beach, a gateway to the Central Region of Queensland's Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It is also the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands and is quickly becoming known as one of the World's premier sailing destinations.
Airlie Beach is also home to one of the largest yacht racing regattas in Australia, Airlie Beach Race Week, and its onshore Festival of Sailing.
Returning for its 39th year, Airlie Beach Race Week is a seven-day event that attracts entrants from all over Australia and overseas.
Offshore, the Regatta offers classes from IRC competitive racing through to cruising divisions, attracting around 1500 competitors, officials, and volunteers.
Onshore, the Festival of Sailing is the Whitsunday Coast's most significant public event, presenting seven days and nights of high-profile entertainment and social activities, with attendance exceeding 10,000.
