These high profile yacht races have developed into the most popular of all ocean-racing events in Australia. These races offers competitors a strategic challenge as they race past unsurpassed scenic coastlines, prior to arriving in one of Australia's most popular coastal cities. The event is now in its 26th year, is considered to be the 'warm water' alternatives to the Sydney to Hobart. The course covers many nautical miles of the Queensland coastline, travelling north. This represents a great introduction to offshore and ocean racing in a fun and safe environment don't miss out.

This race offers a great blend of old and new. The course and steady trade wind breezes provide great racing for the latest high-tech mono-hull sleds and the super fast offshore catamarans, yet there is a unique history associated with this internationally famed classic.

As Queensland's premier blue water classic, its significance was recognised when this race was selected as the feature aquatic sport event for the 'Centenary of Federation' celebrations in 2001. The 308 nautical mile ocean classic will run for the 61st time in 2009 and is one of Australia's major sporting events over the Easter weekend.
