There are places aboard our Beneteau First 40's IAGO & LEEWARD, sister ship to Too True, the winner of the 2011 Sydney - Hobart Yacht Race. The skippers are John Quinn aboard Leeward and Ben McGrath aboard Iago - both have completed in previous race weeks with podium finishes!

There are training days in Sydney and Hamilton Island, competing in all of the 9 race week races - the courses take you around many of the islands in the Whitsunday Passage. There are lay days where you can explore the island, join in the festivities at the Hamilton Island Golf Club or cruise over to see the pure white silica sand of Whitehaven Beach, or kick back and sip cocktails by the pool.
