The 2019 Magnetic Island Race Week saw a shift in the wind patterns, bringing a change of pace for the competitors. The race week saw a variety of conditions, from light winds to strong gusts, and the sailors had to adapt to these fluctuating conditions. The change in wind patterns also led to a change in the race strategy for some of the competitors.
The Amazing Nizam (NSW) has been a consistent performer throughout the competition, consistently placing in the top five. This consistent performance has been attributed to the boat’s well-established design and its experienced crew. The boat’s design features a unique hull shape that allows for efficient water flow, reducing drag and improving speed.
Sydneysider Reynolds brought the sails from his Farr 40 here to Magnetic Island. “Easier than bringing my Farr 40 here,” he said laughing. “This is my fifth year here – you get used to Maggie,” he said of the Island that lives up to its name. Amaya II (Qld) had the goods in Division 2, her timely win moving her into contention for the overall win. Owned by Ben and Matthew Kingsley, their Farr 11.6 moved up to third place but is on equal points with John and Andrew McDougall’s Mac 2 after the latter scored 11th today, her worst result (I think she underwent a handicap adjustment) following a pair of wins.

The regatta is currently in its final stages, with only a handful of races remaining. The Multihull Division is a highly competitive field, with several top contenders vying for the title. Lea’s boat, a 10-meter catamaran, is a formidable opponent, boasting a sleek design and powerful engine.
The crew, a group of pirates, are known for their cunning and resourcefulness. They have a knack for finding hidden treasures and using them to their advantage. Their methods are often unconventional, and they are known for their daring raids on ships and coastal towns. The crew’s rum cache is a testament to their resourcefulness and cunning. They have cleverly hidden it in a musician’s case, making it difficult to detect.
