____________________________________
A 510nm international north-bound sailing classic starting in Darwin Australia and finishing in beautiful Banda Neira in Indonesia. This replaces the long tradition of the Spice Islands Darwin to Ambon race. Many skippers would call in to Banda Neira returning from the Ambon race.
We have full race support from The Ministry of Tourism - Republic of Indonesia (Jakarta), the Maluku Provincial Government and the ASC and together we look forward to hosting a race to remember.
All types of sailors and sailing boats are welcome. The south-east trade winds dominate the weather and can provide wonderful reaching conditions through the tropical waters. The fastest yachts take just over two days whilst the more relaxed sailors can take up to six days.

As representatives of DBCYA and Australia, all race participants are expected to behave in a polite and respectful manner at all times, with respect to the laws, customs and local practices of our hosts, the people of Ambon, Indonesia. As a condition of entry, all participants agree to abide by the club’s policies.
