Airlie Beach Race Week

A very big thank you to our Race Week volunteers ⛵

Airlie Beach Race Week doesn’t happen without the incredible people behind the scenes. From the weeks of preparation getting the Club ready, to the long days on and off the water throughout Race Week, you showed up, pitched in and made it all happen.

And what makes it even more special? So many of you travelled from all over Australia to be here with us. Some of you have been coming back year after year, and honestly,
we love seeing your faces every time. 🥹

Your time, energy, skills and good vibes mean more to us than we can put into words. Whether you were here for a day, the whole week, or somewhere in between,
you were a huge part of Race Week 2026.

Thank you for choosing to spend your time with us, for always being ready to help, and for making Airlie Beach feel a little more like home every year. 💙

We couldn’t do it without you. See you next year! 🫶⛵

(And thanks to Musto for the amazing volunteer uniforms!)
