Queensland Cruising Yacht Club offers a variety of sailing activies throughout the year. 

Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race

The Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race is organised by the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club for monohull yachts.

The Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race is an iconic Queensland event.  Internationally recognised, it is Queensland’s premier yacht race and one of Australia’s most high profile yacht races.

Enthusiasm for the race never dies - an estimated 60,000 spectators flock shoulder-to-shoulder on the foreshores (Sandgate to Redcliffe Peninsula) to see the race start and attend associated events and thousands more at the Gladstone Harbour Festival for the finish.

Between 50 and 70 monohull yachts line up each year - including many of the hottest Sydney to Hobart contenders and many of Australia’s most famous yachts - to tackle a tough 308 nautical miles.

Surf to City Yacht Race

The Surf to City Yacht Race is held with the cooperation of the Southport Yacht Club. 

The race from Southport to Shorncliffe is usually a day race for the inshore fleet and a day/night race for the offshore fleet.  The race attracts competitors normally from Queensland and northern New South Wales.

Entries for this race have typically ranged between 80 to 120 with participants falling within two major divisions:
         1.  The offshore fleet - for ocean going blue water vessels (mono and multihull & shorthanded).
         2.  The inshore fleet - for trailer sailor, monohulls and larger multihull vessels.

The race held in January each year and will commence on Saturday January 12 2008.
