Last week, the inaugural Brisbane to Bundaberg Offshore Yacht Race took place over several days, as our sailors made their way up to the coast to Bundy! ⛵️🐢 It was an incredible weekend, full of excitement, sailing, music, delicious food and good times with friends 🧡

Thank you to all of the sponsors, staff, volunteers, entertainers and of course, our sailors. This race wouldn't have been possible without all of your contributions!

Congratulations are in order for all the sailors aboard our winning vessels, Wedgetail and Balancing Act 🏆️ David Rose's Bundaberg Rum-sponsored Wedgetail claimed both Line Honours and overall IRC victory, while Tony Craner's Port of Bundaberg-sponsored Balancing Act secured ORCi, PHS and Double-Handed honours.
