Sailonline is thrilled to once again partner with the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club to bring you the official virtual edition of the iconic Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race — one of Australia's most prestigious offshore sailing events, held every year over the Easter weekend!

First raced in 1949, the Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race is steeped in tradition and challenge. The 308-nautical-mile course tracks Queensland’s breathtaking coastline and demands a perfect blend of tactical mastery, endurance, and seamanship. It attracts a wide range of competitors — from elite professionals to passionate amateurs — and now, you can take the helm and compete from anywhere in the world!

The race on Sailonline will open for practice sailing on 14 April at 01:00 UTC, giving you plenty of time to familiarize yourself with the course, refine your strategy, and prepare for the challenge ahead.

The virtual race will officially start at 01:00 UTC on Friday, 18 April 2025, in perfect sync with the real-world fleet. You'll be racing a Cookson 50, a high-performance offshore yacht built for speed, precision, and tactical finesse. Even better, you'll sail alongside the real boats, whose positions will be visible on the Sailonline platform in real time!

And for those who want to soak in the atmosphere, don’t miss the live broadcast of the race start, streamed live by the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club! The live stream begins at 00:00 UTC (10:00 am AEST) on Friday, 18 April 2025 on their official YouTube channel here!

We’re incredibly grateful to the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club for once again welcoming our global community of virtual sailors and supporting this unique collaboration. It’s a powerful celebration of real and virtual sailing coming together, sharing in the adventure and spirit of this legendary race!
