Whitsunday Sailing Club (WSC) is excited to announce 74 Islands Distillery as the Naming Rights Sponsor for the 2025 Airlie Beach Race Week (ABRW), boosting anticipation as entries surpass 100. This comes shortly after Whitsundays and Townsville were named venues for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games Sailing Competition.
Terry Archer, ABRW Regatta Chairman and regular competitor, said, “A local artisan gin and vodka distillery on the Whitsunday coast, 74 Islands Distillery is one our club and competitors can relate to, so it’s a win-win situation for all concerned.”
Terry also mentioned the upcoming Olympics.
“We could not be happier. This is an amazing opportunity that will have a major impact on our region. It will have massive benefits not only for sailing, but the whole community as a whole and we are looking forward to welcoming sailors from around the world, along with their families and friends.”
WSC, recently upgraded and ideally situated, has hosted major sailing events for years, including the signature ABRW, attracting up to 200 keelboats and off-the-beach boats annually. Competitors enjoy the stunning Whitsundays location, with restaurants and accommodations just steps or a short drive away.
This year’s 37th edition of ABRW will also serve as a trial run to prepare for the Olympics, with global attention on the Whitsundays’ offerings.
No matter the boat type, there’s a division for everyone at Airlie Beach Race Week. Interested sailors can enter and view the Notice of Race at https://www.abrw.com.au/.
