Tourism Whitsundays chief executive officer Tash Wheeler said she was thrilled to see the return of Airlie Beach Race Week in 2021.
“The Whitsundays is the heart of sailing and this event is a great reminder of just how premier sailing is at this time of year,” she said.
“Airlie Beach Race Week is an iconic event on the Australian sailing calendar, complemented by a great array of onshore events throughout the week.
“It was one of the few events to run in the Whitsundays in 2020, so it is fantastic to see these events evolving post-COVID.”
Whitsunday Sailing Club event chairman Ross Chisholm is also looking forward to the event, which is due to be held from August 12 to 19.
