    What does the @gladstoneregionalcouncil Brisbane t What does the @gladstoneregionalcouncil Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race mean to those who sail it? We caught up with Tony Craner, owner and skipper of Balancing Act, to talk about the legacy of the race, the lifelong memories it creates and the moments that stay with you long after the finish. From the history of the event to his own highlights, including a win to his name, Tony shares why this iconic race continues to mean so much to sailors year after year.

    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.

    At the heart of the @gladstoneportscorporation Bri At the heart of the @gladstoneportscorporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race sits the Courier Mail Cup, the second oldest continuously awarded trophy in Australian offshore sailing. Awarded to the overall IRC winner, the @couriermail Cup is one of the most sought after prizes in offshore racing, placing the winning skipper and crew alongside generations who have taken on the 308 nautical mile passage to Gladstone. As official timekeeper, Adina Watches presents a specially designed winners edition timepiece to the IRC winning skipper and crew, and the Line Honours skipper. The 78th Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race starts from Shorncliffe on Good Friday 3 April 2026 and finishes in Gladstone over Easter, where crews and families can enjoy Easter in Gladstone. Whether racing, watching from the shoreline, or following the livestream, this is offshore sailing at its best. Entries are now open.
    Not every crew chasing the Brisbane to Gladstone Y Not every crew chasing the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race is aiming for line honours. For many, the Performance Handicap System division, better known as PHS, is the perfect way to take part. PHS handicaps are based on past performance, which means older boats, cruising yachts and newer crews can still be genuinely competitive. If you meet Category 3 plus safety requirements and have a few races on the board, you can have a real go. Classic yachts like Wistari, cruisers not designed for racing, and sailors building experience all regularly line up in the PHS fleet. To encourage more everyday sailors to enter, Peter and Kris Holm have donated the PHS trophy along with a cash prize for first place. The 78th Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race starts from Shorncliffe on Good Friday 3 April 2026. Grab a few mates, get your boat ready, and you could be right in the mix.
