The start of the Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race will be streamed live locally, nationally and to the farthest reaches of the globe for audiences to watch on their mobile device or computer via this website and the Brisbane to Gladstone Facebook page, and even on certain Smart TV sets.

Bringing the spectacle to audiences for all to see will be accomplished through cutting edge delivery technology, seven HD Cameras, with 2 on chase boats, plus on drones, and of course augmented with a professional commentary team calling all of the action.

Once the Race is underway, we will have a 360 degree camera on board one of the leading boats so you can jump on board for the entire journey. Once in Gladstone, we will be providing live coverage of the finish, interviews with the crews when they reach dock and to wrap it all up, coverage of the trophy presentations.

Each yacht will be fitted with a Yellowbrick tracker that will obtain a position using the GPS satellite network, and then transmit that position back to Yellowbrick HQ using the Iridium satellite network.

Each yacht’s position is then visualised on the race yacht tracker map. In addition, the yacht tracker system also shows distance to finish line and progressive corrected time positions under the IRC, ORCi and PHRF handicap divisions.

The main Zone marked by yellow buoys stretching from the start line up to Redcliffe will be in place from 9:30am on the morning of the race. The area around the start area must be avoided from that time. The area around the Redcliffe turn must be clear for 10.30am and finally, the zone around the Shorncliffe Pier and yellow Fisheries Beacon should be avoided between 11am and noon.

If you don’t have a boat but would still like to be on the water take a look at Brisbane Cruises who will be offering day cruises to view the race. Brisbane Cruises will be granted access to the exclusion zone close to all the on-water action.
