Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race set to boost tourism in regional city after COVID-19 downturn

Peter Harburg was just six years old when he got his first taste of the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race.

Key points:

• The Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race will set sail in Brisbane on Good Friday
• About a dozen events will be held in the central Queensland city across the long weekend in celebration of the race 
• Gladstone Area Promotion and Development tourism manager Nicola Scurr says the event is providing a boost to the region

"I saw the very first one in 1948. My father took me down for the start of it," he said.

"I was very intrigued by these giant yachts, which are probably a third of the length of [the boats] today.

"They looked big to me as a six-year-old, and I've sort of been interested in sailing ever since."

The owner of yacht Black Jack is no stranger to Queensland's flagship race, with his team, led by skipper Mark Bradford, winning with the current yacht and its previous iterations eight times.

It is also the current race record holder, completing the race in 16 hours, 53 minutes and 57 seconds in 2018.

Last year, Black Jack made history by being the first Queensland boat to take line honours in the Sydney to Hobart race.

"The Brisbane to Gladstone race is one of the most important on the Australian calendar," Mr Harburg said.

"It's our big Queensland race, and it attracts a lot of good boats.

"We're looking forward to it."

The race sets sail in Moreton Bay, near Shorncliffe, on Good Friday at 11am before concluding in the early hours of Saturday morning near Gladstone.

Queensland Cruising Yacht Club vice commodore Harley Cowlishaw said there were 38 yachts taking part in this year's race.

"We've also got the two handicap winners of the Sydney to Hobart in the fleet, which is Alive and Ichi Ban, so it is a very high-quality fleet in this year's race," Mr Cowlishaw said.

"The forecast is 15 to 20 knots from the south-east, which should give everyone a very quick ride to Gladstone."

Mr Cowlishaw said they had not been able to hold a proper race for the past two years due to COVID.

"We had one year where the race was totally cancelled, and last year there wasn't allowed to be too many celebrations," he said.

"This year, it's full steam ahead."

There will be almost a dozen major events happening in Gladstone across the Easter long weekend in celebration of the race, including special lunches, food festivals, music festivals and parties.

Race brings tourists after COVID

Gladstone Area Promotion and Development tourism manager Nicola Scurr said forward bookings for accommodation in Gladstone were higher than they had been in years.

"The last few years have definitely been challenging, especially at Easter, given it is one of the biggest times in the region," she said.

"Talking to operators and looking at their bookings, they're saying leisure traveller [numbers] have gone up over this period.

"I'm really excited to see the actual outcomes of that post-Easter."

Campers flock to 1770 and Agnes Water

The tourism boom isn't just being felt in the city itself, with the southern parts of the region, including the towns of Agnes Water and 1770, also experiencing a growth in numbers.

Janina Speck owns and operates 1770 Liquid Adventures.

He said while it had been a slow start to the school holidays, the forward bookings had picked up for the long weekend, as well as the Anzac Day and Labour Day weekends.

"We did have some rather rough weather last week, but it's looking all good now for the Easter weekend," she said.

"The town will be full up."

Ms Speck said overall, the mood in the tourism industry locally was one of optimism.

"There's a lot happening. A lot of businesses have started up in the last 12 months," she said.

"There's a bit of fresh energy as well."

Chris De Aboitiz runs a stand-up paddleboard hire company alongside his trusty dog, Rama.

He said accommodation providers in the region were starting to reach capacity.

"It's great to see the crew coming back out to have a holiday, and it's all sorts of demographics," Mr De Aboitiz said.

"We are noticing there aren't so many international people."

Fuel prices no deterrent 

At the nearby 1770 Camping Ground, caravaner Mike Kelly from the Sunshine Coast said high fuel prices would not interrupt his trip.

"We've been coming here for 30-odd years to the same caravan park every Easter," he said.

"The fuel prices, they give you a bit of a fright, but you just grin and bear it."

Noni North lives in Gladstone but made the trip to 1770 via Tenterfield.

"It was a more expensive trip," she said.

"The high fuel prices don't change our mind [on travel], as it's coming down already.

"We'll just keep going, keep travelling."

Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race

January 30, 2024.

QUEENSLAND’S oldest race, the Brisbane to Gladstone (B2G), will set sail for the 76th year with the help of a major commitment from Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC) – a contribution of $300,000 to the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club (QCYC) over the next five years.

GPC CEO Craig Haymes said GPC is honoured to be playing a major role in Australia’s second biggest yacht race, which is an Easter tradition for both the Gladstone region and Queensland.

“It’s only January but our preparations for the race are in full swing including getting the giant pontoon ready – we can’t wait to welcome the fleet back to Gladstone to refresh, relax and explore all that our 5 Gold Anchor Marina has to offer,” Mr Haymes said.

“This year is important as we celebrate a significant milestone – our 110th year of operation – and we are honoured to be building on our proud history by supporting important events like this for our region and state.”

“Easter in Gladstone is always an exciting time as we welcome thousands of locals and visitors.”

“Our award-winning parklands at East Shores offer free front-row seats to the finish line and our Marina has sky-rocketed in popularity after we upgraded facilities.”

GPC provides free berthing to all entrants, access to all premium facilities and a complimentary shuttle bus service operating around the clock.

GPC also provides significant in-kind support including berthing yachts after the race.

Competitors will embark on a 308 nautical mile (570 kilometre) journey on Good Friday, sailing from Brisbane’s Redcliffe to the finish line in Gladstone Harbour.

The sponsorship is provided from GPC’s Profile Partner category through its Community Investment Program.

Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race: A History

An icon of Queensland and the highest profile Easter Weekend sporting event, the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race is steeped in tradition and history. Setting sail from Redcliffe annually, entrants make their way across 308 nautical miles to Gladstone Harbour, starting on Good Friday.

Establishment

The Queensland Cruising Yacht Club (QCYC) developed in 1948 to organise to inaugural Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race (B2GYR). The first race saw seven vessels take off from Redcliffe during Easter 1949, six of which completed the race. During this time, only two yachts carried radios while the others held homing pigeons that were to be released twice a day for position reporting.

Now, entrants gather from across Australia, even seeing many international applications. They compete for the Courier Mail Cup, one of the oldest perpetual trophies in Australia that has been competed for on a continual basis.

Since its beginnings in 1949, the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race has gone through many changes. The first person to finish the race was Doug Perrins on the bow of Hoana with an elapsed time of 47 hrs 08mins 25secs which stood until 1955.

In its second year, the B2GYR saw 20 yachts enter the race with the first women to compete. In 1955, the starting line was transferred from Woody Point to Sandgate.

In 1959, fifteen yachts battled through heavy conditions, resulting in a collision that saw an entrant run aground on the northern end of Bribie Island. There were no injuries and the yacht was re-floated, however, only four boats managed to finish the race.

Bad weather hit again in 1972 with Cyclone Emily forcing 20 out of 25 yachts to retire. Winds reached up to 96 knots and the five that finished the race hailed from New South Wales and Victoria.

In 1983 Di Hard (Bruce Tardrew) became the first international entrant to win.

The Golden Anniversary Race saw a record-breaking 196 keel yachts participate, adding up to 1356 men, women and children who set sail including four sailors from the inaugural race.

Fundraiser planned for gladstone sailing school.

GLADSTONE — The Spring Social, held annually by the Gladstone Lions Club and this year in conjunction with the Bay de Noc Lions Club, is set to raise funds for the Gladstone Sail School. The event will take place Saturday, April 20, at the Terrace Bluff Country Club.

Troy Drebenstedt, now a seasonal employee with the City of Gladstone Parks and Recreation Department, was responsible for reviving the sailing program that had been conducted in Gladstone years ago.

“It was a staple of the community for decades,” said Drebenstedt.

When he moved to the area five years ago, he began inquiring about the Gladstone Sail School he’d heard about so that his own children and nieces and nephews might benefit. He found that it had been “mothballed for about a decade,” as he put it, and was handed the dusty reins — or in this case, lines.

Drebenstedt said that the boats dedicated to the purpose were from the 1970s and falling apart. Those were used for the first year of the restored school’s inaugural class of eight kids. “We’ve been making a concerted effort over the last three years to improve the program,” Drebenstedt explained.

The second year, a little bit of funding allowed for the purchase of a couple used boats from a school out in Boston. Drebenstedt and his wife personally drove out to Massachusetts to collect them.

Just last year, three more boats were donated by Alex Sundstrom, a member of the Escanaba Yacht Club.

In just the short amount of time since Drebenstedt committed to raising the Gladstone Sail School back off the ground, the program has expanded. The first year, just a general, basic course was offered. Now, said Drebenstedt, they’ve been able to branch out into multiple classes, made possible by the newer, larger boats and increased community interest. Students who took part in classes three years in a row have been able to move up to instruct an intermediate-level course, and a member of the community who raced collegiately teaches “advanced sailing skills, tactics and techniques for sail racing,” Drebenstedt reported.

Near the end of the season two years ago, John Lindberg took students out for a ride on Cathexis, his 45-foot catamaran built by the late Irving DeRoeck, a businessman, sailor and boatbuilder from Gladstone. Last year, kids from the Gladstone Sail School again joined Lindberg aboard Cathexis in the Frostbite Race — the last Escanaba Yacht Club sailing race of the year, held in September.

The number of participants in the program more than quadrupled in just a few years. 2023 brought 30 kids and six parents to the Gladstone Sail School.

The course fee is set to be reasonable, and a scholarship is available for those who might have trouble meeting it. To make classes family-friendly, rates are in place for one person, two people, and three or more.

“We really want this to be inclusive to everybody,” Drebenstedt said, adding that the aim is to continue the school’s growth and improvement.

“Our drive this year is to get funding for a new sail shed where we can store our equipment but also use it as a classroom. We’re also looking at upgrading a lot of our equipment to make sailing more accessible for people with cognitive or physical handicaps,” he said.

To this end, the Lions Clubs of Gladstone and Bay de Noc has designated the Gladstone Sail School the recipient of funds raised at this year’s Spring Social, which is sponsored by Baybank and Upper Peninsula State Bank.

The fundraiser kicks off at the Terrace Bluff Country Club at 7 p.m. on April 20, with a $15 admission collected upon entry. Once inside, guests may choose to take part in 50/50 raffles, a silent auction, bucket raffles, and two separate $20 card raffles for firearms. A performance by the Jam Band begins at 8 p.m.

For more information about the Spring Social or the Lions Clubs, interested parties may contact Bill Sjoquist at (906)280-3740.

When details about this year’s courses become available, they will be on the City of Gladstone’s Parks and Recreation page, and sign-up sheets will be distributed at local schools.
