Mile Builder Northbound – What a Ride!
From 30-knot headwinds to island sunsets - our maiden Northbound Milebuilder was unforgettable. From Sydney to the Whitsundays – over 1,000 nautical miles of nonstop offshore sailing.
* 24/7 watchkeeping
* 30+ knots on the bow
* Fog, squalls & sunny skies
* Dolphins, whales & even dodging live-fire military exercises
Ratbag was in her element - fast, responsive, and remarkably comfortable offshore.
* Crew ate well
* Slept soundly
* Cranked up serious miles with style
🏝️ Middle Island, Percy Isles
🌴 Great Keppel Island
⛵ Quick stop at Gold Coast to restock & recharge
🎯 Then right back into the blue – outrunning weather and carving through swell
“What a team. What a coast. We had dolphins riding the bow, whales breaching beside us, and a crew that never missed a beat. I’ll never forget the moment we arrived and cracked that first beer - proud, salty, and completely alive.” – Capt. Aaron
