Townsville Yacht Club SeaLink Queensland
WE ARE SOLD OUT in record breaking time!
No sooner were entries open than entries flooded in for Australia’s favourite regatta, SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week (SMIRW), and days later, all 80 berths were filled for the Townsville Yacht Club hosted event to be held from 2-8 September, 2021.
“We knew people were itching to go sailing and travel again, but we were nevertheless amazed when numbers reached 35 on the day entries opened. Ten days later there were 70 and that quickly escalated to 80,” Event Chairman, Mike Steel said.
“We are pleased to have Peppers Blue on Blue as our exclusive accommodation partner again in 2021,” Steel commented.
Steel said SeaLink Magnetic Island Race Week, the premier event on the Island, is responsible for adding over $1 million to the local economy. In this vein, TYC encourages visiting yachties and those who accompany them, to stay on and enjoy the area, which many do both pre and post event.
Without support from Tourism and Events Queensland, Townsville City Council, SeaLink Queensland and a raft of other local partners, Race Week and other events would not be possible.
Magnetic Island is well named, as both sailors and tourists are attracted to this pretty and friendly part of Far North Queensland. The Island is a pleasurable half hour SeaLink ferry ride from Townsville, with whale spotting thrown in free of charge.
