Peter Harburg’s RP 100 Black Jack continues to show good form in her preparations for the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, winning the SOLAS Big Boat Challenge on Sydney Harbour last week. In September this year the Bow Caddy Media was given the opportunity to join some of the luminaries of Australian sailing aboard Black Jack (including Tom Slingsby, Chris Nicholson and Tom Addis) for their early work-up campaign in the Whitsundays under skipper Mark Bradford. So, as a taster in the lead-up to the Boxing Day start of the great race south, here’s an on-board view of how the action unfolds on Black Jack when the breeze is up.

Sneak out of our base in Tortola and ride the easterly trade winds towards Virgin Gorda's immense natural rock pools. A sailor's paradise, the BVI is home to warm weather, ideal conditions and hundreds of hidden cays and spectacular dive sites. Navigate the cays, sounds and islands between Jost van Dyke and the incredible coral island, Anegada. Tuck into fresh seafood, and engage in relaxed island life at every stop. Enjoy line-of-sight, short hops all around the Sir Francis Drake Channel, or take on a longer passage. Sip rum punch as you watch the sunset, and explore Norman Island, the inspiration for Treasure Island.
