The 2011 RACE AROUND AUSTRALIA event is for Category (1) monohull and multihull yachts. The event format is designed to allow yachts from all around Australia, and overseas, to compete.

In a nutshell:

There are 7 start and finish ports including Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Southport, Brisbane, and Hamilton Island.

Crew changes are permitted at each port of call and every leg of the Around Australia Ocean Race is a race. The Race event timing coincides with the reintroduction of the Melbourne to Sydney Race, the  iconic Sydney to Southport Yacht Race, races from Southport to Brisbane, Brisbane to Keppel Bay, Kepple Bay to Airlie Beach and on to Airlie Beach for  Airlie Beach Race Week, and Hamilton Island Race Week.
