“As President of the Whitsunday Sailing Club, I am very excited to be the Airlie Beach Race Week regatta chairman,” said President of the Whitsunday Sailing Club Terry Archer.
“To be involved in the town’s largest annual event, and see the benefits the regatta brings, not just to the club but the greater region is a point of great pride.
“The work our team has done to engage with the community, whether competitors, or our fantastic volunteers and sponsors. Without these groups there is no regatta, and we are thankful to them all. I can't wait to get on that day one start line.”
The day one start line involves 150 boats, all ready to get going and kick start the amazing week of sailing, it’s a sight to see.
Terry himself is participating in the race, he will be in the racing multi hull division in his boat called the G’nome.
Terry jokes that the boat is a fully genetically modified Granger garden gnome.
Terry added that the boat also has some history too.
“When I took it, it was a bit of a wreck and we genetically modified it and got it back in the water,” said Terry.
“That process took about two years, and this will be our eighth time we have entered that boat in the Regatta.”
Terry loves being out on the water but also loves the social aspect of the Airlie Beach Race Week where everyone can gather at the Whitsunday Sailing Club to catch-up with friends.
