If you can’t be racing on one of the boats, we’ve got the next best thing. We’ve partnered with Sailonline.org to bring you the Virtual Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race 2026. Sailonline is a highly respected platform used by some of the world’s top ocean racing navigators to refine their skills.

The virtual race will start at the same time as the real race, 11am (AEST) on Friday, 3 April 2026.
