(Whitsunday) (3 days/2 nights) |
 |
Spend three full days exploring the idyllic Whitsunday Islands, experiencing the thrill of Formula One sailing on one of our high performance ocean racers. Feel your adrenalin pulse as you plane across turquoise blue waters at high speed, enroute to yet another unspoilt tropical destination. Snorkel, swim, relax or even scuba dive at the best fringing reefs and secluded beaches that can only be found in the Whitsundays. |

| Boomerang
(Whitsunday) (2 days/2 nights) |
 |
Average guest range 21-35 years.
2 double berths (not private), 8 double bunks, 10 single bunks. Boomerang takes 26 guests and 4 crew on a 2 day/2 night sail of the Whitsunday Islands. Up until late 2001 Boomerang was still competing in tough Ocean Races, such as the Auckland to Suva Race.

| British Defender
(Whitsunday) (2 days/2 nights) |
 |
Average guest age 21-35 years. Winner of the 2001 and 2004 Whitsunday Fun Race. British Defender is one of a few vessels in the Whitsundays to use Spinnakers, which are the large colourful balloon shaped sail at the front of the boat, often seen of TV on downwind legs. Winner of the 2001 Whitsunday Fun Race British Defender is a sloop design, 83ft in length, built of Carbon Fibre with a huge mast extending 115ft above the deck. British Defender has turned heads since the day the yacht was named by the Duke of Edinburgh on London's Thames River.
Today British Defender is still turning heads after a 3500 man hour refit during the 1st half of 2001, converting her into a purpose built Whitsunday Charter Maxi Yacht. Even after refit to a charter yacht, British Defender is still fast, taking Line Honours and 1st Place on Corrected Time in the August 2001 Mooloolaba to Airlie Beach Ocean Race, Queenslands longest Ocean Race at 510 miles.
Interior cabin area specifically designed for Whitsunday Charters, yet built using the latest light weight materials, such as Carbon Fibre to keep ultimate performance in mind.
Features include 2 dining tables, 3 bathrooms, single and double berths. All double berths have curtains for privacy. |

| Broomstick
(Whitsunday) ( 2 days and 2 nights ) |
 |
| Price $359 share accommodation
per person |
Maxi Sail/Dive Adventure. Average age group: 18-32 years. Broomstick was built in South Africa to win the Cape Town to Rio Yacht Race. From there she went on to compete in many of the world's most famous blue water events including the Sydney to Hobart. As a true Maxi, she is big, comfortable and very fast. Her days of racing finished in 2000 and she was converted to charter in 2001 - but beware - her racing spirit still remains! |

| Condor
(Whitsunday) (2 days / 2 nights) |
 |
Condor is perhaps the most famous Maxi yacht in history, having won every major ocean race in the world twice! Condor is the only yacht to have achieved this distinction. These races included such highlights as the Sydney to Hobart, Fastnet, Bermuda Cup, World Maxi Championship, Porto Cervo Maxi Series and Antigua Race Week just to name a few. Condor is 81'6" in length, was designed by Ron Holland and built in Penryn, Cornwall in the United Kingdom. |

| Hammer
(Whitsunday) (2 days and 2 nights) |
 |
Hammer is a 75 foot Maxi yacht that is indeed a true Australian yachting legend. Hammer was designed by Kel Steinman and owned and campaigned by Arthur Bloore. Throughout her racing career, Hammer competed in many blue water events and was best known for her five consecutive placings in the world famous Sydney to Hobart, including line honours in the 50th Anniversary of the event. Hammer's paint job certainly makes her the 'wild child' of the Maxi fleet. |
