The highlight of every Australian yachtsman's sailing calendar is the Hamilton Island Race Week, held every August. At this time of year, the Whitsunday Islands are spectacular, with sparkling, crystal clear water and a steady breeze. This is one of the world's most breathtaking settings for a regatta. This is also the time that the islands are home to thousands of humpback whales who migrate north to give birth in this area and it is not uncommon to be accompanied by whales while racing.
