Inaugural Hamilton Island Race Week: 1984

Sandy Peacock--a Sydney-based advertising agency owner who was at the first Hamilton Island Race Week in 1984 working as a yachting journalist and photographer--found a long-forgotten box of images from the Australian event.

This year's Audi Hamilton Island Race Week will be held Aug. 17 to 24.
