It has never been easier to watch the start of Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race and follow the action all the way through to Gladstone.
Whether you are on the water, standing on shore or watching the world leading live streaming of the Race you will not miss a second of the action. The live streaming is proudly supported and brought to you by Gladstone Regional Council.
The live stream coverage will commence at 11am on Friday, 15 April, 2022. A prominent link on the home page will conveniently direct viewers to the live stream page on this website. Click here to view and bookmark the live stream page.
To get the full effect of the race atmosphere you can’t beat joining the action on the water among the spectator fleet of craft of all shapes and sizes from ferries to kayaks. But if you’re not lucky enough to be there in person when the starting gun fires there are plenty of ways to follow the race, worldwide and for free.
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.
The live streaming of the 2022 Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race is proudly brought to you by Gladstone Regional Council’s Easter in Gladstone.
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.
Set on the waterfront at beautiful Moora Park, the Bluewater Festival offers uninterrupted views to the start of the Gladstone Ports Corporation Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race. This year, the festival will be jam packed with entertainment, fun and celebrations for the whole family on Good Friday; with food trucks, art and craft markets, rides, workshops and activities for children of all ages. There will even be a train ride running from Sandgate along the boardwalk to the festival.
