M
ission Beach Sailing Club has delivered a new kind of sailing experience, with its inaugural Adventure Sail bringing 37 participants and 15 vessels together for a weekend on the waters surrounding Dunk Island.
Held across 22–23 August after three years of planning, the event swapped traditional racing for adventure, connection and the relaxed spirit of island time, with Dunk Island serving as base camp.
Sailors took on courses around Purtaboi and Timana islands, while the weekend also featured hiking, fishing, jetty jumping, wildlife spotting and foil boarding.
