Getting ready for Race Week

17 August 2023

Hamilton Island Race Week begins on Sunday 20 August. We have been working on converting Debonnaire from cruising to race mode, and making sure everything is ready for action. We relocated from Airlie Beach to Hamilton Island on Thursday and will be here until Sunday 27 August.

Where do these bits go?
Phew, back together again!

Debonnaire has 6 winches. Stripping down and greasing just one winch took Catherine and Phil about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
