2013 Marks the 29th running of the iconic Darwin to Ambon Yacht
race which these days incororates a Rally Division for those of a less competitive bent but none the less like the camaraderie engendered by a closely fought yacht
race. With more options open to
boats wishing to visit Indonesia's fabled cruising grounds,returning to the halcyon days of 110 yachts in Ambon is unlikely just yet but strong support is seeing the event growing into a major sailing/cruising event. Characters like Berti of Berti's Bar and the legendary raconteur, north Australian sailor,Peter Charles whose never ending stories ensure the approximate truth is recorded, make this party unmissable.
The Darwin to Ambon race departs Darwin 11am 17th August 2013 with the presentation in Ambon on the24th august.
