Melbourne is hosting the stopover event for the race at Waterfront City which is next to New Quay. This follows a month long celebrations of summer funs including water-based activities and Food and Wine Festivals. 
If you like to know more about the race, you can get more information here and information on the Melbourne stopover can be found here. I'm just showing you a very brief introduction to Melbourne's stopover venue at the Docklands.
This is where you come to check out all the excitements, the Waterfront City Race Village where you get to see the yachts in the race, the teams and the media centre for the race.
Here we can see the 2 yachts that arrived in Melbourne first over the weekend; ABN Amro I and ABN Amro II on dry docks for repairs.
Apart from the competing yachts, you get to check out the other yachts docked at the marina which are not in the race.
If you are interested in yacht racing then maybe you can start with blokarting before you advance to the real thing!
The events down here at Waterfront City will last a month and there's always activities to thrill everyone so I think I'll be coming down here every couple of days during lunch to check it out...till then, I think I'll give blokarting a go!
