    Since 1982, 'Carrying the Mail' has been one of th Since 1982, 'Carrying the Mail' has been one of the enduring traditions of the @gladstoneportscorporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race. Each year, specially produced first covers are carried by selected yachts from Brisbane to Gladstone, cancelled at the start line and stamped again on arrival, linking offshore sailing with Australia’s postal and maritime history. In the 2025 race, BOLT Out of the Blue was honoured to carry the mail for the multihull fleet. Phillipa and Allan Bolt also created the commemorative plaque now displayed in the foyer of Queensland Cruising Yacht Club, recognising every yacht that has carried the mail since the tradition began. Read the full story of Carrying the Mail on our website. With thanks to the Gladstone and District Philatelic Society Inc. Who will carry the mail this year? Watch this space for the announcement.
