The Whitsundays deliver more than postcard scenery—this is about race-grade drills, real helm time, and competitive coaching through daily coastal sprints.
Set among the Whitsundays’ natural beauty, Airlie Beach Race Week is more than picture-perfect—it’s a race-grade training ground for performance-minded sailors. Fleet racing here means evolving tactics daily, proactive crew training, and opportunities to practice mark roundings and starts in a regatta that always keeps you on your toes. The environment is ideal for those new to coastal sailing courses but hungry for the pace and strategic learning of a competitive, multi-day campaign. With expert coaching on hand and a fleet that mixes emerging talent and experienced tacticians, this is coastal racing with a focus on tangible outcomes for yacht racing training graduates.

- An extended carbon rig (+1.5 m), longer boom, and fixed bowsprit boost light-air punch and reaching balance.
- Below deck, twin nav/autopilot systems, radar, AIS, and satcomms support routing and debriefs at race pace.
- Deck gear, pit systems, and sail-handling hardware were all renewed for clean, repeatable evolutions under load.
- Simple, robust systems — Yanmar 3YM30 shaft drive, 600 L ballast, folding prop — make Vixen both fast and forgiving.
