Sailonline.org partners with Royal Queenland Yacht Squadron and the TP52 'Envy Scooters'to bring the virtual Lendlease Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race to armchair sailing navigation enthusiasts around the world.
Race start time: Friday 2nd August 2019 at 1100 AEST (0100 UTC)

Sailonline.org is pleased to announce that it is once again partnering with Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron to bring the inaugural Lendlease Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race right to your fingertips (or mouse!).

The Lendlease Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race on Sailonline will run at the same time as the real Race allowing armchair sailors to sail against the actual boats in the Race.

Having done a few Brisbane to Keppel races with RQYS over the years, this time Sailonline is using the polar of a TP52 and will race against the local TP52 'Envy Scooters'.


Envy Scooters

'Envy Scooters' is owned and sailed by RQYS Vice Commodore, Barry Cuneo. Having just completed the Sydney to Gold Coast Race and taking out the overall handicap win as well as IRC1 and ORCI1 Division wins, this will be the boat to beat. 'Envy Scooters' was also overall winner on handicap of the Brisbane to Gladstone Race Sailonline did with QCYC earlier in the year.

In cooperation with the race’s tracker provider, YB Tracking, Sailonline is hoping to display all 16 real boats on its virtual racing screen so armchair navigators can see how they are faring against the real fleet. This dramatically enhances the interactive experience and is a great way for family and friends of crew members to be involved while following the yacht.

The virtual Lendlease Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race on Sailonline.org is open for practice now. Everyone is invited to come and join in so that they will gain the most fun when the real race starts.

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!
