Brisbane to Hamilton Island Yacht Race

Important Regatta Update

On behalf of the Commodore and Flag Officers,

A convergence of adverse circumstances, beyond RQYS control, has forced the difficult decision to cancel the 2024 B2HI Yacht Race.

RQYS has an established record of organising offshore yacht races in QLD since 2007. This includes the successful running of the Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race in June 2024.

RQYS wants to assure owners and skippers that the B2HI will be back bigger and better in 2025.
