4km to go from here and decisions to make. How close to the gates will you go?

Support Boats Welcome! 38km is a long way and safety will always be our top priority. If you want an extra layer come race day you are more than welcome to use a support boat. We can help with sourcing these and for those with Molokai on the horizon it's it's only race on the calendar where you can practice!

Hells Gates looking south. If you zoom in and squint, you still can't see the start line 😳

With 3km to go and 35 in the bank it's decision time. Do you stay wide and safe or tackle the backwash for the shorter course. Regardless to make it to the finish line at Noosa is a serious accomplishment!
