Yacht Tracker

By far the most visited page of the website is the Yacht Tracker page , which allows viewers to track the entire fleet or a particular boat from start to finish. Yacht Tracker uses a specifically designed tool that calculates the predicted results for each and every boat in the fleet, so you can see how each boat is performing.

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.

On The Water

If you are taking your own boat out to the start, Bramble Bay is always very busy and crowded before the start so we are asking everyone to familiarise themselves with the Race Exclusion Zone and follow the advice of the race officials on the day. It can be very chaotic out there and if spectators are inside the Zone, the Race simply cannot start.

The main Zone marked by yellow buoys stretching from the start line up to Redcliffe will be in place from 9:00am 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.
