Audi Hamilton Island Race Week 2017 - Day 1 The Reichel Pugh & McConaghy Boats Show

Day 1 of Audi Hamilton Island Race Week saw the fleet blast north to the Molle Islands. The four Reichel Pugh girls - Wild Oats XI, Black Jack 100, Alive & Nano, aka Wild Oats X driven by HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark - which comprise 66% of the IRC fleet caught our eye flying north at speeds up to 25 knots and giving our chase boat driver a real challenge to stay in touch.
