Flying Cloud | Hamilton Island Race Week 2026

What a week for the Flying Cloud crew at Hamilton Island Race Week - an amazing result of 3rd place in race 6!

Racing in the Hamilton Island Pink Division, Flying Cloud took on a full week of racing through the Whitsundays, with a mix of challenging conditions, shifting breezes and plenty of close competition across the fleet.

Skippered by Russell Bonner and Matt Ackroyd with a fantastic crew of Flying Fish onboard Flying Cloud raced in a competitive Pink Division fleet.

Working as a team, making the most of the conditions and keeping the boat moving when it counts.

A great week of racing for Flying Cloud and crew. Well sailed! ⛵

Second time sailing Hamilton Island Race Week with Flying Fish, Helen is back for another week of winter escape, trading cold weather for sunshine, sailing and a great crew. ☀️⛵️

She’s enjoying her second HIRW with Flying Fish, where the staff and crew create a supportive, patient and positive atmosphere throughout the week.

And three fun facts about Helen:
🚿 She sings in the shower
👽 She enjoys a good conspiracy theory
🧊 Her dream destination is Antarctica

Thanks for sharing these great shots Helen! 📸

Tricky conditions for the start of race 3 at Hamilton Island Race week - the combination of a busy start line, a down wind start, 30 knot squalls from different directions, and a narrowing exit channel as well as some tricky tidal streams meant we kept the kite in the bag for a while!

Cool, grey, damp and windy was the order of the day for day 3 of Hamilton Island Race week - but fantastic sailing nonetheless and a great day for all on board Flying Fish - Flying Cloud

We’ve got some fantastic footage coming through from our team racing at Hamilton Island Race Week right now!

Tropical sunshine, warm breezes and plenty of action on the water, it’s looking like an incredible week of racing in paradise. ⛵️🌴
