Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race

About the race.

The Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race is considered by the public to be one of Australia’s flagship ocean yacht races.  The highest profile Easter Weekend sporting event, setting sail annually. 

From the start in Bramble Bay near Sandgate, the yachts proceed up past the Redcliffe peninsular, then turn towards Moreton Island, passing Tangalooma resort before heading north past the Sunshine Coast, K’Gari and Lady Elliott Island and on to Gladstone, a distance of approximately 308 nautical miles.

Entrants will gather from across Australia as well as from overseas. They compete for the Courier Mail Cup, one of the oldest perpetual trophies in Australia that has been competed for on a continual basis.

The Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race is steeped in history and tradition with the first Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race held during Easter 1949. The first race saw seven vessels start, two of which carried radios while Brisbane’s Homing Pigeon Club supplied pigeons to the others for position reporting. Each yacht issued with birds was to release two each day.

The first person to finish the race was Doug Perrins on the bow of Hoana. Having sailed through strong winds and heavy seas, Hoana finished with an elapsed time of 47hrs 08min 25sec, a very creditable time which stood until 1955.

In 2009 the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race was voted as one of the icons of Queensland.

In 2008 QCYC was the winner of the Queensland Tourism Award in the Festival and Events Category.

In 2001 the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race was selected as one of the platforms for the Centenary of Federation celebrations and a Centenary of Federation perpetual trophy is awarded to the winning team each year.

Rupert Murdoch won the race (line honors) twice in 1964 and 1965 and held the race record for twelve years from 1964 to 1976.

The Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race has weathered worse storms than the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race with Cyclone Emily causing havoc in 1972 as winds reached up to 96 knots. There were no casualties but only five of the 25 race starters finished the race that year. The race maintains an exemplary safety record.  The Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race B2G is a Registered Trade Mark of the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club Inc.

Website Exposure

The popularity of the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race website ranks in the top 4% worldwide over the Easter period. Although most visits start at the Race website home page, the vast majority of an end users time is spent interacting with the Race Tracker.

Live Coverage

The Race start is live streamed in a full visual broadcast available for free to anyone with an internet connection. The broadcast covers the pre-race, start and the first section of the racing to the rounding mark off Tangalooma.

Media Exposure

The Race receives extensive coverage through all forms of both print and electronic media including all the free to air TV networks who cover the Race start out on the water, in the air and on the shore.

Along the foreshores of Moreton Bay, two festivals are in existence to celebrate the race start spectacle, the Festival of Sails and the Bluewater Festival. Both festivals report growing crowds on an annual basis; in all, 60,000 spectators are estimated. Around 300 private and commercial craft gather around the start line. A third festival, the Gladstone Harbour Festival celebrates the end of the race.

Support from External Agencies

The Race is supported by local government bodies including Brisbane City Council, Gladstone Regional Council, Moreton Bay Regional Council, and local parliamentary members. Not to mention the valuable contributions of the RAAF with spectacular fly overs (such as the low level fly past of the fleet by the C17A Globemaster prior to the start of the 70th anniversary Race.)

75th Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race

A fleet of 47 offshore racing yachts will line up to make sailing history when they contest Australia’s second oldest blue water yacht race – the Gladstone Ports Corporation 75th Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race (B2G) which sets sail on Good Friday (7th April 2023).

Entries closed on Monday, 20th March with the milestone running of Queensland’s blue water classic attracting some of Australia’s best known ocean racing yachts along with a recently imported European yacht, the first ever electric yacht entry, one yacht competing in their 30th B2G.

Sailors and yachts which competed in past milestones such as the 50th, 60th and 70th anniversaries of the race are returning to the start line this year for the 75th edition.

The Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race (or B2G as it is affectionately known) is proudly presented and organised annually by Queensland Cruising Yacht Club (QCYC). The 2023 fleet will see 397 sailors race 308 nautical miles to Gladstone, with crews ranging in size from four two handed entrants through to the largest with 30 crew on board.

Yachts entered in the 75th B2G will head to the Brisbane start line in Moreton Bay from as far afield as the Netherlands, Sydney, Townsville, Whitsundays, Gladstone, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast.

QCYC Commodore, Ian Gidlow says the 75th edition of the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race is likely to see some tightly fought tactical battles in this demanding coastal passage race.

“The 2023 fleet has attracted a broad mix of yacht entries and it is anyone’s guess who will take the ultimate prize of winning overall and putting their name on The Courier-Mail Cup,” Mr Gidlow said.

“Skippers and crews will be hoping for Easter trade wind conditions and a spinnaker start as we saw in 2022. However, as always, the B2G will test even the best sailors and the uncertain nature of yacht racing will play out where carefully crafted tactics and sailing can be brought undone in a split second by yacht or rigging failure or sail damage,” he said.

“Also up for grabs, the overall winner of the PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) Division will take home the Peter Holm Cup and a cash prize of $10,000 – believed to be the biggest cash prize for PHRF in Australian sailing.

“We are incredibly proud of the unique history of the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race and for the 75th edition, we can guarantee Brisbane’s Moreton Bay will be ablaze with sails, adrenalin and action on Good Friday when the 47 strong fleet powers over the start line at 11am.”

2022 Rolex Sydney to Hobart winner, Celestial – owned and skippered by Dr Sam Haynes – is the early race favourite. Celestial set a race record in the 2022 B2G for a conventionally ballasted yacht completing the 308 nautical mile race in 19 hours, 24 minutes and 52 seconds.

Maritimo  11, owned by boat building icon Bill Barry-Cotter, will be skippered by legendary Australian sailor, Michael Spies, who skippered the boat to line honours in the 2021 B2G.

Well known and loved Australian yacht Azzurro, now owned and skipped by Queenslander Jack Kliner, will also be a handicap contender in the race.

There are seven female skippers amongst the race fleet including Stephanie Kerin (Active Again), Kerry Noyes (Aramex), Saskia Groen-In’t-Woud (Celeste), Niamh Larkin (Jenesis), Annika Thomson (Ocean Crusaders J-Bird III), Taylor Rose (Puppet) and Sharon Boyle (The Muse).

Saskia Groen-In’t-Woud, who will be sailing her 8th B2G, has brought her yacht, Celeste all the way from The Netherlands especially for the 75th B2G. Celeste, who is nearly 50 years old and the same age as Saskia, is a Nautor Swan – considered in Europe to be the ‘Rolls Royce’ of sailing yachts and is the only Nautor Swan of her size in Australia.

Ocean Crusaders J-Bird III is one of two TP52s in the race and the first ever yacht to compete in the B2G with an electric auxiliary engine powered entirely off renewable energy. Ocean Crusaders J-Bird III also took out line honours in the double handed division of the 2022 Sydney to Hobart with skipper, Annika Thomson also achieving the accolade for being the first female skipper home.

The 75th B2G is featuring several youth sailors including some who have been granted dispensation from the usual minimum age requirement of 16 years due to their demonstrated talent and experience.

At 14 years of age, Addison Newlan will be the youngest sailor in the fleet, sailing aboard Maritimo 11 as part of her continuing involvement with Maritimo Racing to further her sailing career, with the 2032 Olympics one of her goals.

Other youth sailors include Maddie Wendt – 15 years old (Momentum), Saxon Dyke Groen-In’t-Woud – 16 years (Celeste), Bill McCart – 16 years and Jack Scharf – 15 years (both sailing on Night Nurse).

Bruce Farr designed boats have dominated the entries with eight of the popular ocean racing yachts entered including Crankster, Amaya II, Aramex, Blizzard, Son of a Son, Night Nurse, Puppet and Italian Job.

The smallest yachts in the fleet are the Farr 30s, Italian Job – a two handed entrant owned by Michael (Tom) Johnston, and sister ship Puppet, another two-handed entrant skippered by Taylor Rose. Taylor’s father David will also be skippering his Welbourne designed yacht Wedgetail to Gladstone.

The 75th B2G will mark the 30th time Restless has contested the race under three separate owners since 1992. Restless is currently owned and skippered by John Ibell from Gladstone, who is celebrating a decade of ownership of the Cape 35 yacht which won The Courier Mail Cup in 1996.

Fidelis – a 1964 model Classic Knud Reimers yacht and one of the largest entrants in the fleet, was last seen on the B2G start line in 1998 for the 50th anniversary race with the same owner/skipper, Nigel Stoke.

As a special on-water tribute and send off to the 75th B2G race fleet, a flotilla of Classic Moreton Bay Cruisers is headed to the start line via an official 9am sail past foreshore spectators on the Shorncliffe Pier and Bluewater Festival. The Classic flotilla of timber beauties will be led by the 75th B2G official start boats, Mohokoi and Norlyn.

Steeped in tradition and stature and proudly presented and organised annually by Queensland Cruising Yacht Club (QCYC) since 1949, the iconic 308 nautical mile B2G is one of the oldest and most fiercely fought blue water yacht races on the Australian sailing calendar and one of the highest profile Easter sporting events.

The B2G was first held over Easter 1949 where seven vessels took the start line, two of which carried radios while Brisbane’s Homing Pigeon Club supplied pigeons for the other competing vessels to relay their positions.

First entries in for 74th Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race

The Notice of Race is out, and the first entries are rolling in for the Gladstone Ports Corporation’s 74th Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race.

The race is set to sail on Good Friday, April 15 2022 from Moreton Bay to Gladstone over 308 nautical miles.

Queensland’s annual Easter sporting event is hosted by Queensland Cruising Yacht Club (QCYC). The Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race sees sailors compete for the coveted overall prize, The Courier-Mail Cup.

Last year’s race winner and five-time winner of The Courier-Mail Cup, Wistari has been the first entry received. 2022 will mark the 52nd time Wistari will sail in Queensland’s flagship race making it the most entered yacht in the race’s history.

The 2021 race overcame near Covid-cancellation with an initial fleet of 48 entrants. The starting fleet, although depleted, battled a barrage of winds and rough seas to complete the 73rd Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race.

Last year’s line honours was taken out by the 54 foot Maritimo 11 under the captaincy of legendary Australian yachtsman, Michael Spies in a time of a little over 25 hours in 1:01:07:54.

QCYC Commodore, Ian Gidlow is expecting a strong and competitive race fleet for 2022, large spectator crowds and lots following the race online via the Race Tracker.

“We’ve already had word of some very exciting pending entries so expecting our 74th annual Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race to be bigger than ever and celebrated not just with Australia’s sailing fraternity but all our spectators in Moreton Bay, Gladstone and online around the globe,” Mr Gidlow said.

“Next year will be my ninth Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race as Commodore of QCYC and each and every year I am in awe of the seamanship and efforts our crews go to make this race the mighty event it is,” he said.

The race start will once again be live-streamed including pre-race commentary which is proudly supported by Gladstone Regional Council’s Easter in Gladstone. There will also be an interactive Race Tracker which is keenly followed around the globe.

The Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race is steeped in history and was first ever sailed in Easter 1949 where seven vessels took the start line, two of which carried radios while Brisbane’s Homing Pigeon Club supplied pigeons for the other competing vessels.

Welcome to the MYCQ Brisbane to Gladstone Multihull Yacht Race

Notice of race, sailing instructions, race tracker, race history, 2024 brisbane to gladstone flyer, offshore multihull rating (omr) system.

The MYCQ Administers the Offshore Multihull Rating (OMR) System, which is used to handicap all Multihull Yachts. It is similar to the IRC system used for monohulls but is tailored to be applied to all Multihull Designs. This website provides:

• Specification  - includes an introduction and guidelines on how to prepare your boat and how to measure your sails
• Measurement Form  - This form is used when measuring your yacht
• Inventory Form  - This form is used to record everything onboard your boat at the time of measuring
• Excel Version of the above forms
• Information on the 2016 review and update.

The MYCQ regularly reviews the OMR formulas by looking at race results and analysing trends and new technologies to ensure the OMR system is current and as accurate as possible.

As with most handicapping systems, it is not perfect and rather than criticizing the system and the people that administer it we encourage you to become involved in the club and contribute to developing the system.
