The Wonderful Indonesia Race and Rally will finish off Benoa, Bali, with the race taking between six and a half days for the fastest boat to around 11 days for the smaller rally boats.

Event chairman and vice commodore of Fremantle Sailing Club, Terry Baker, said the biennial race and rally was attracting sailors from around Australia with a high quality race fleet taking shape.

"It is a unique sailing event with challenging and exhilarating racing. Adding to this, the Beyond Bali leg enables yachts to sail through the Indonesian Archipelago, including Komodo Island, home to the Komodo dragons," Baker said.
