Sailing, AUDI Sydney to Gold Coast Race

The Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race will start at 1pm from Sydney Harbour, this is the second largest offshore event behind the Rolex Sydney Hobart.

The Audi Sydney Gold Coast, which began in 1986, has traditionally been the curtain opener for the winter northern racing circuit at Airlie Beach and Hamilton Island. 

Make no mistake, this is not a gentle cruise around the harbour. This is a real race and you will be an integral part of the team aboard a genuine Beneteau racing yacht. You will be up against the big guns of the ocean yacht racing world.

The Audi Sydney Gold Coast annually attracts top quality fleets of up to 80 including some of Australia's best known ocean racing yachts - Skandia, Wild Oats X, Wild Joe, Yendys, Secret Mens Business 3.5, Ragamuffin and Evolution Racing - as well as the stalwarts of the event - Impeccable, Phillip's Foote Witchdoctor More Witchcraft and Spirit of Koomooloo. 

After the start in Sydney Harbour the fleet turns left at North Head then passes the major ports of Newcastle, Port Stephens, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Cape Byron and on to Queensland's beautiful Gold Coast. 

It's expected that the race will take around two days to complete. 

The yacht will be on the Gold Coast for a few days after the race has finished in preparation for it's next great adventure - Hamilton Island Race Week. If you are after more adventure, check out Sailing, Hamilton Island Race Week 

Depending on the participant, you may want to stay and help take the boat north to Hamilton Island, or even wish to participate in the Hamilton Island Race Week as well.
