Darwin to Ambon Yacht Race
Watch a colourful fleet of yachts start their sailing adventure to Ambon, from Darwin’s foreshore.
The tension builds during the months leading up to this anticipated event on Darwin’s sailing calendar, with an almost festival atmosphere. When the day finally arrives, large crowds gather on Darwin’s foreshore in the brilliant dry season sunshine, and jostle for vantage points to see a colourful array of sailing vessels start their adventure to Ambon in Indonesia. With cool dry season breezes filling the spinnakers, the yachts poised on the turquoise sea starting line, the signal to race is anxiously awaited. Then with a loud crack, the race is on.
The Darwin Ambon yacht Race and Rally starts at 11am.
This 600 nautical mile race to the capital of the Spice Islands attracts entries from blue water sailors from Australia and the world. Skippers who wish to partake in this race, please contact the Darwin to Ambon Yacht Race Committee or refer to their website. Race entry fees apply.
