Crown Lager Dent Island Day at Hamilton Island Golf Club will see a welcome return to the times when there was exceptional camaraderie and rivalry between the crews participating in Audi Hamilton Island Race Week in a party atmosphere that is their own.

The day commences with free ferry transfers that leave continuously between 10.30am and 4.00pm from the Dent Island Jetty at the Marina (opposite the Race Office). There will be live music, food and beverage stalls, scenic helicopter flights and golf course tours throughout the day. The most exciting part will be the challenges lined up for the day with great prizes to be won.

Registration for each of these challenges will occur at their tee.
