A Hobart based sailor who was leisurely cruising in the Whitsundays and decided at the last minute to compete at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week has taken out today’s non-spinnaker division 1 results on day four of racing. Rodney Smart’s 50-footer called Smartchoice from the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, crewed only by he and one other, was among the second group of boats to start the race, which made all the difference according to Smart. “We’ve been behind the eight ball until now because we are normally the last away and there hasn’t been much to compete against,” Smart said. Smart said today’s slight increase in wind speed aided in his performance. “Today’s just been fantastic; this event is unbeatable and we’ve already decided we are going to come back next year,” he said. “It takes the cake and is very well organised,” Smart added. All the cruising, non-spinnaker, Performance Racing, IRC passage, multihulls and first fleet divisions peeled off the start line in Dent Passage this morning in a stunning spinnaker start that provided the best scenic shots of the regatta. Some came unstuck early on, a tidal trap off Hamilton Island Yacht Club catching a few out as they watched those who opted for the Dent Island end of the start line sail away in the 8-10 knot sou’easter. Andy Kearnan’s L’altra Donna claimed glory in testing conditions in today’s IRC Passage Division 2 race. The Sydney-based skipper steered his Summit 35 to maximise the top wind speed of 10kts on the island course, though it wasn’t all smooth sailing. “It was a tricky course in challenging and variable light winds and we had to factor in the large tides,” Kearnan said. “There were tricky moments around the rocks, but we got the win for the day. We put the boat in the right spot and navigated well through the fleet.” Despite a commanding series lead over CYCA clubmate, Alan and Tom Quick’s Beneteau First 40 Outlaw, Kearnan isn’t being complacent. “It’s been a great week and we are sitting well placed on the ladder but we have to be on our toes for the rest of the week, with two races left,” he said. Diana and David Edwards’ classic ketch Sir Thomas Sopwith won Cruising Division 1 today with Melges Asia Pacific’s Heath Walters at the helm. The 72-footer was designed by the UK’s Robert Clark and launched in England in the early 1970s, bequeathed to the Ocean Youth Club of Great Britain by the English aviation pioneer and yachtsman, Sir Thomas Sopwith. The boat was purchased in 1987 by Theo Taylor from TA Taylor and Sons and delivered to Sydney the following year as the Ocean Youth Club of Australia’s founding vessel and to join in Bicentenary celebrations. Over the next 15 years she travelled thousands of miles around the coastline with wayward kids from Youth Off the Streets, The Wayside chapel and the Salvation Army as crew. Badly weather-beaten, Sir Thomas Sopwith was rescued by the Edwards who commenced a painstaking restoration and she’s now the pride of her division at Race Week. Virago II is leading Cruising Division 1 on handicap; with two days of competition remaining Cruising Division 2 belongs at this stage to That Boat (Darryle Dransfield) and Cruising 3 to Starkers (Alan Stark). Full results at http://www.topyacht.net.au/results/2013/ahirw/series/index.htm The race committee has this evening advised that classes scheduled to start tomorrow’s race in Dent Passage will now start from eastern area and the start times have been brought forward slightly.

The competition looming fortomorrow’s traditional Prix d’ Elegance at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week is almost as serious as the on-water tussle for prestigious regatta silverware. The crew of Holy Cow and Carabella V are staging an all-out face off, both going for the title of Best Fun Themed Yacht and Crew. Matthew McCann’s Carabella V is a new Xp50 design from the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron which was launched in December 2012, the first of its kind in Australia. It is McCann and his wife Kate’s first Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, and they have brought their A game. The McCann’s are looking to overthrow John Clinton’s Holy Cow tomorrow morning, their mascot ‘Hammy’ the whale their secret weapon. Island-goers might have noticed the whale posters all along the waterfront. “Hammy the whale, who has been lost, is going to arrive in Hamilton Island because everybody up here is having a ‘whale of a time’,” said Kate McCann. “The history of Hamilton Island shows that there used to be a farm full of cows and our campaign is to make sure we push the cows [Holy Cow] out of office,” she explained quite seriously. John Clinton’s attention grabbing Beneteau 50 from Sydney, complete with a lime green spinnaker and spotted cow pattern on the hull, has dominated at the Prix d’ Elegance for the past two years, with no fierce competition to give the crew a run for their money. The McCann’s believe it is time for a change, but John Clinton is taking the newcomer’s comments with a grain of salt. “We want real competition; Carabella shouldn’t even get out of bed- it’s a pity they’ve wasted so much time already,” Clinton scoffed. “We are also a major, serious political party and we are playing hard to get. Rudd is worried about our momentum. But we are the same as any party in that we promise everything and deliver nothing. “Lots of people are looking forward to coming onto the udder side, because we have fun - us cows wander all over the place, but we don’t smoke the grass, just eat it,” Clinton joked. The other category in the Prix d’ Elegance, an annual Audi Hamilton Island Race Weekhighpoint, is The Best Presented Yacht & Crew. Both categories will be judged at 9am as the boats leave the harbour tomorrow morning, Friday August 22nd,and the winners announced at Saturday’s night trophy presentation at the Convention Centre. Judges and spectators will be located past the Flag Deck of Hamilton Island Yacht Club.

Day six of Audi Hamilton Island Race Week was packed with colour and movement as bittersweet wins and some creative Prix d’ Elegance fancy dress for a memorable penultimate day. Light winds still created opportunities for many, including Island Lady from Southport Yacht Club on the Gold Coast which claimed first place in Cruising Division 2. Boat manager Jason Chipp said the five crew were on cloud nine after their win, particularly pleased with the nature of the course. “The longer race really suited us today, you’ve got no idea how happy we are,” Chipp said. “This is our first Race Week and we will be back bigger and better next year.” Island Lady’s owners, Jenny and Andrew Pusey, purchased the brand new Vision 42 specifically for this year’s 30th anniversary Audi Hamilton Island Race Week and were regatta-bound before misfortune struck. “Three days before the regatta started Andrew busted his Achilles and couldn’t make it, and Jenny wasn’t going to come either,” Chipp explained. “We convinced her to come, and she’s had a great time with all the boys.” On overall results Andrew Molnar’s BavaraiaJemson is narrowly leading the Cruising Division 2 series, on equal points with Ray Sweeney’s Jeanneau 44i CEO1. The bar was raised at the annual Prix d’ Elegance this morning, several crews getting into the spirit of one of Race Week’s highlights by showing off their decorated yachts and crew costumes. From Wild Goats climbing the mast to a staged wedding ceremony, the judges had plenty of tough decisions to make as they critiqued the parading fleet from the Flag Deck of Hamilton Island Yacht Club. The Queensland-based Farr 11.6 crew on board First Fleet entry, for boats from the inaugural 1984 regatta, Dusty Muzzle didn’t need to dress up for the competition. Each day they have worn bright orange and black work shirts and pith hats, turning plenty of heads at Hamilton Island. “We just like to be conspicuous,” said skipper Ron Knott. “We stand out in the crowd and it’s good because the young ladies can always see us.” Peter Briggs’ Hitchhiker from Western Australia claimed victory in the First Fleet division today, despite ripping their headsail six minutes before the first windward/leeward race was scheduled to start to the east of the island. It’s a mystery how this happened given there was barely a puff on the race track. Skippering Hitchhiker in the second short race, Sam Ainsworth said the initial disappointment quickly turned into optimism for his crew. “We were frustrated but we put a smaller headsail on instead, which ended up working in our favour – somehow we won. I’m very happy with the crew’s performance because we were only traveling at a top speed of 11 knots,” Ainsworth said. Hitchhiker is also well placed in Cruising Division 2, currently third in Performance Racing division 2 from an impressive fleet. Audi Hamilton Island Race Week wraps up tomorrow with the 23.5 nautical mile Lindeman Island race starting from the eastern course area from 10am.

The pointscore for all 12 divisions racing at the 30th anniversary Audi Hamilton Island Race Week wrapped up with today’s final race around an island course in a patchy easterly breeze. Those on the podium will collect their trophies tonight at the official prize presentation at the island’s Conference Centre. The race management team led by regatta director Denis Thompson worked as hard as the competitors, altering the courses before and sometimes during races according to the changing breeze and tidal flows. Sailors acknowledged it was hard yakka starting and keeping 157 boats racing in light and testing conditions. Cruising Division 1 Although the wind speed wasn’t ideal for the bigger boats today, the winning Cruising Division boats had a field day on course 28 and 29. Cruising 1 featured three classic Australian maxis from a bygone era in Hammer, Condor and Whitebirds. Condor, a two-time line honours winner in the Sydney Hobart race and winner of the famous Fastnet race out of England, returned to Audi Hamilton Island Race Week for the sixth consecutive year. The trio unfortunately didn’t feature in top placings; they needed a lot more breeze to push their vast bulk around the track. The James Murchison-skippered Tripp 47, Abracadabra, claimed first place in Cruising Division 1 in the final race but the more weighted overall series win went to Ross Johnston’s Beneteau Sense 55 Circe from Sandringham Yacht Club. Second was the glamorous Oyster 655 Proteus which has been competing in the Oyster World Rally and detoured to be part of Race Week. Third was Stephen Everett’s Salacia. Cruising Division 2 The X35 Next Light came out on top in the Cruising Division 2’s final race and sealed the series, a well-deserved victory for skipper Chris Ryan. “We travelled 1,000 miles to get here from Pittwater in Sydney and that took 10 days,” Ryan said. “On the way we managed to pick up unmarked fish floats on the keel and the shaft, which was very awkward. We stopped twice in the night to try and untangle the nets.” Ryan persisted with the journey and finally arrived at the island, where he has had a brilliant week, topped off by a win on the last day of the regatta. “Today we did exceedingly well. The light winds suit the boat and we are probably one of the only crews who don’t complain about the lack of wind,” he said. “The crew have been suburb all week and we couldn’t fault them, the results tell the story,” added the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club member. Cruising Division 3 First time Race Week skipper Paul Giles steered his Jeanneau 39i Lookout to success in Cruising Division 3 today. “We smoked the whole fleet at the top mark and we are really happy,” Giles said. “Today suited us because we were able to use sails effectively, but we did struggle downhill.” Overall winner of Cruising Division 3 was Alan Stark’s Catalina 350 called Starkers by a two-point cushion from Jason Jordan’s Jasambri 2. Non-spinnaker Division 1 & First Fleet Lindy Robertson’s Sydney 38 Guilty Pleasures IV stole the show in Non-spinnaker Division 1 today, while Rodney Smart’s Hunter 50ac Smart Choice wrapped up the overall divisional results ahead of Uluwatu and Namadgi. Peter Briggs, the only owner with the same boat from the inaugural Race Week in 1984, the Frers designed Hitchhiker from Royal Perth Yacht Club, also tasted success. Briggs and his immaculately red and white dressed crew won the First Fleet division of four great ocean-going boats which were on the original starter’s list three decades ago. Non-spinnaker Division 2 It was the flood-damaged Star Ferry that came across the line first in the Non-spinnaker Division 2 race today, a significant moment for skipper John Brand and a result that put the Marchi 39 into second on the final pointscore. This year’s Audi Hamilton Island Race Week is the first time Star Ferry has been sailed since the 2012 Bundaberg floods ravaged his boat, and Brand couldn’t be happier. “I am ecstatic,” he said post-race. “It was a tough race in our big old heavy boat, but we got the course right today. We had to play with the boat to get it going because there was only a little bit of breeze. He also commended his crew for their efforts. “All these people jumped on the boat with next to no sailing experience, but they got the hang of it by the end of the week,” Brand laughed. Stuart Pascoe’s Beneteau Oceanis, Christina Jay, won the division overall, Star Ferry closely behind in second place. By Laura McKee/AHIRW media

Audi Hamilton Island Race Week provides something for everyone, from pro international America’s Cup sailors to families contesting their first Whitsunday series. Melbourne couple Mal and Chris Dennis and their two children Tara, 11, and James, 8, are wide eyed as their first Audi Hamilton Island Race Week comes to a close. The Dennis family is racing their 38-foot Spacesailer, Idle Time, in Non-spinnaker Division 2. The boat was built in 1986 and purchased Mal and Chris two years ago. With a generation of children dominated by iPads, iPods, PlayStation and TV, mum Chris believes sailing is a perfect way for her children to be active outdoors. “The kids have proven to be naturals on the boat, and are having an absolute ball.” Tara and James are lapping up their first semi-serious regatta, already masters of the trade. “When I put the mainsail up I have to ease out the white and black rope and when we put the main up I have to pull it,” said Tara. “Dad always says to look like we know what we’re doing,” she added. “They think it’s normal to see whales and manta rays,” Chris laughed. On their performance Mal said, “We aren’t coming last and we are getting more competitive every day. We are working really well as a team.” The yacht is permanently anchored at Hamilton Island’s marina and is used every school holidays when the Dennis’ make the trek from Beaumaris in Melbourne. “We will definitely be back next year,” Mal said. The Shepherd family, also from Victoria, are finishing off a six month adventure with their Hanse 445 from Safety Beach Sailing Club near Mornington, Victoria, aptly named Lunacy due to the fact friends and family told them they were mad selling their house to buy a boat and head up the east Australian coast. Following Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, Matt, wife Ali and kids Holly, 11, Summer, 9, and Patrick, 7, will sadly head south back to reality. Matt is a chef at Mornington race course and his boss wants him back in the kitchen for the Spring Carnival. “We are excited but also sad about heading home after Race Week,” said Matt today in the pre-start of their final Cruising 2 Division race for the six-day series. “We booked our accommodation on the island a year ago, knowing we wanted to finish our trip at the regatta. It will be hard to sail away from Hamilton Island.” The kids have had six months off school but have to complete a daily journal for their teachers. “They have been at the school of life,” added dad. Ali and the kids went out for the first day of racing last Sunday but the yelling and congestion at the start was enough to send Ali ashore for the rest of the week. The crew hammed it up in yesterday’s Prix d’ Elegance, the boat carrying a large ‘seeking asylum’ sign to represent the fact the Shepherds have no home to return to. Luckily for them, grandma has offered her house in the short term. Audi Hamilton Island Race Week offers a range of fun activities for kids including a bowling alley, the Clownfish Club, Wildlife Hamilton Island Centre, art classes, Go-Kart racing and more.

Four of the pioneers from the inaugural Audi Hamilton Island Race Week in 1984 are back to grace the boating stage and mark 30 years of history for one of the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest yachting regattas. Among the four original entries is Peter Briggs, skipper of the Perth based Hitchhiker, a Frers 40 that made its Race Week debut in the very first regatta. Hitchhiker is the only combination of original boat and owner from 1984 racing in the First Fleet Class. The other first fleeters are Ron Knot’s Dusty Muzzle, William Grice’s Inch By Winch and Ruby Weber’s Lloyds Too Impetuous – all racing this year under different owners to 30 years ago. The beautifully maintained 7.5 ton Hitchhiker was transported 5,000kmfrom Perth across the bare Nullarbor Plain to the island on a semi-trailer, apparently the longest distance in the world to drive a yacht of its size. With his three combined trips to Hamilton Island, in 1984, for the 25th anniversary and now the 30th anniversary, Briggs has spent 30,000km on the road transporting Hitchhiker to the world famous regatta. “In the old days when we trucked over in ’84 we didn’t have to have a lead car and those sorts of things. Today, there’s a lot of rules and you have to have a car at the front saying ‘vehicle following’ which increases the cost considerably - it’s a big effort,” he said. Briggs has witnessed Hamilton Island’s transformation and the regatta blossom into a highly regarded and popular event on the sailing calendar. “There were 93 boats at the first one, which is quite a lot of boats for the inaugural regatta. ”Having a yachtsman in Bob Oatley as the island owner has been good for yachting,” he said, referring to the patriarch of the Oatley family who has campaigned many boats over the years “The island is more modern, there’s more facilities, more people and the boats have become more high-tech of course,” he added. Briggs fondly recalls the events that unfolded in the 1984 regatta. In fresh breezes Hitchhiker played the underdog role and won by a mere one point after entering the final race four points behind. Hitchhiker was built in 1980 and has always been Briggs’ favourite, even though he had the choice of sailing a number of other modern boats he owned. So advanced was Hitchhiker’s design and construction, and her performance so competitive for the era she was selected to represent Australia at two Admiral’s Cups. “The reason why Hitchhiker was a great boat in its early days, not so much today, is because it was an all-rounder. It was quick in light, medium and heavy weather,” Briggs said. A bold battle flag donning a large red thumbs-up signal is flying proudly on Hitchhiker’s forestay while the crew is immaculately dressed in matching red and white crew uniforms. The concept behind the boat’s moniker and flag dates back to 1980. Briggs’ skipper at the time was brainstorming names and came up with ‘hitchhiker’. “Initially we thought ‘what a dumb name!’ but hitchhiker means ‘free lift’ and that’s what you want in sailing, rather than when the wind knocks,” Briggs explained. “The thumb went with the hitchhiking and red is my favourite colour so we went with that.” Now in his seventies, Briggs said he hasn’t lost his competitive spirit after all these years on the water, warning other competitors that his old vessel is a force to be reckoned with. “We want to beat up on all of the other older boats. There are three other boats here that were in the original event and we would like to keep ahead of them. That will give us plenty of competition.” Racing at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week continues today before a rest day tomorrow, followed by three more days of competition for the 157-boat fleet representing all Australian states, the ACT plus overseas entries.

A born and bred Scottish skipper who has steered the same boat for 15 years at Audi Hamilton Island Race Week is proving that a boat’s age is no barrier. Will McMillan, his wife and their pride and joy Nessie, a Sonata 8 design from the Clarence River Sailing Club, have been in partnership since their debut at the Hamilton Island race in 1994, only missing a few regattas over the course of 19 years. The McMillans have returned to Hamilton Island to mark the 30th anniversary of the event, and it’s believed they hold the title for the most Race Weeks by the same combination of boat and owner. “We are quite lucky, we don’t have kids. So we got the boat instead!” Will McMillan said. McMillan lives in Coraki near Lismorein northern New South Wales, which is a two-day, 1,200km trek to Hamilton Island via car. As for Nessie, her keel was lifted up and she was winched onto a trailer for the long drive, which hit a bump along the way. Half way between the Gold Coast and Brisbane McMillan suddenly remembered he’d forgotten to pack the rudder. He did a U-Turn and made a quick dash back to Tweed Heads where he met a crewmember with the vital part. Mishaps aside, McMillan is excited to race histiny boat against the luminous, high-tech boats parked in the marina around him. He hastasted early success in Cruising Division 3 this year, finishing second on handicap in Sunday’s opening island course. “I’ve got no intention of replacing Nessie, where I sail it suits the environment. If I went for a bigger boat, I wouldn’t be able to cross the sand bars,” he said. When McMillan moved from Scotland to Australia in 1972 he gave up sailing, instead trying his hand at motorbike racing.He was forced to abandonriding following an industrial accident that claimed his right eye, butresumed his sailing career shortly after. McMillanbegan searching for a trusty Sonata design and in 1993came across one called Midnight Sonata, and felt an immediate connection. “I had to have her. When we bought her she was a bit of a messy wreck so we stripped her down to the bare shell and rebuilt her - that took six months. “I thought Midnight Sonata was a pretty boring name so when I was down at the pub one night in Coraki the guys got involved in thinking of names and Nessie was the one that stuck,” he said. McMillan and his regular crewwon their division overall at Race Week2006, a worthy career highlight. “That was a good memory winning that year. We also got a little plaque for doing 10 consecutive years so we were up on the podium a couple of times,” he said. McMillan recalls the early sailing days at Hamilton Island, where the Barefoot Bar was the place to be and street parties were all the rage.The growth of facilities and the island’s development has blown McMillan away. “There was only a couple of marina fingers and the first fewyears we anchored out in the middle here where we are right now, and had to get out to the boat in dinghies,” McMillan explained. “The boat technology is just phenomenal- there are lots of new boats so to compensate for that I put a new odd sail on this thing now and again. “She was bought in ’79. I try and look after her as best as I can and she looks pretty, but I am biased!” McMillan laughed. Currently, a Scottish flag can be seen flapping in the wind on Nessie’s backstay and a Loch Ness monster head leads the way on the bow. Audi Hamilton Island Race Week paused for lay day yesterday. Now at the half way mark, racing will continue for the next three days with more wind on the cards. By Laura McKee

After the devastating January floods in Bundaberg shipwrecked John Brand’s boat, StarFerry, the skipper took a courageous leap and entered Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, the boat’s comeback though it is still undergoing repairs. The 39-foot, white fibreglass yacht was safely moored in the Burnett River before all hell broke loose. Brand, who has lived 20km out of Bundaberg for 25 years, received a call from a friend that Saturday evening with news that the weather was ‘pretty serious’. By midnight, the marina had swept away and was smashing into the boats, the vicious current taking StarFerry along with it. “It got caught up in some trees, in fact the tree is what actually held it up,” recalled Brand. “It didn’t sink, but ended up in the middle of the paddock; it was pretty intense, there was a lot of damage done.” While the storm raged, Brand desperately tried to reach Bundaberg but the river level had risen dramatically, preventing him from seeing his 34-year-old boat for eight days. “I was getting text messages, other people saw what had happened.” “The day I could finally get to Bundaberg a friend rang me and said ‘mate, the boat’s gone,’” Brand explained, choking back tears. “I couldn’t tell you how upset I was. The guy who was with me said he’s never heard me so quiet. An hour and a half later we found Star Ferry still in the same spot, I was pretty happy about that.” Returning to Hamilton Island for her eighth Race Week, StarFerry is still sporting battle wounds and isn’t the prettiest boat on the marina. Brand says she’s a work in progress. “I had various people repairing it and she still has to be repainted. It’s well scarred, looking pretty horrible at the moment, but it will look fine in another six months,” he added. The Bundaberg Sailing Club member purchased StarFerry in the mid ‘90s after it was transported to Sydney from Italy in the 80s. The 50-year-old believes the boat had done three or four Sydney Hobart races before he took over the reigns. Brand’s love of boats began when he was a 13-year-old, this passion seeing him contest various other regattas before Audi Hamilton Island Race Week caught his eye in 2003, the year the Oatley family became custodians of Hamilton Island. “The way the Oatleyshost Race Week is just fantastic. Others I know who have done lots of other regattas around the place say this is the best one they’ve ever come to,” he said. Brand is looking to beat his rival Peter Cox, the skipper of Valhalla, which is currently sitting in fifth spot in Non-spinnaker division 2. “The challenge has been going on for eight years now. Peter won it one year, I won it the next, so it’s good fun,” he said. “I’ll do the regatta every year until I die,” he laughed, now looking forward to good times ahead. By Laura McKee/AHIRW media
