While temperatures around the country soar, the Whitsundays are heating up for the world’s most wondrous sailing event – the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race. The countdown is on for the fantastic Whitsundays Clipper Race Carnival and the 70-foot ocean-going yachts who are the stars of the show are already on their way, sailing up Australia’s east coast as part of the Wondrous Whitsundays Race.
The 12 identical yachts along with their skippers, international crew, families and supporters will begin arriving in Airlie Beach on Saturday 13 January to kick off the festivities. No doubt they will all be looking forward to a well-deserved rest and relaxing Whitsundays holiday to enjoy the two-week sailing event of the Clipper Race Carnival.
