Organisers of the Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race are optimistic theyâll have a smooth sailing event after COVID-19 forced the event to be cancelled in 2020.
On Wednesday it was announced the Gladstone Ports Corporation would be the new named sponsor for the B2G in the eventâs 73rd year, taking over the naming rights from Qantas.
GPC acting CEO Craig Walker said the partnership between GPC and the Queensland Cruising Yacht Club was for three years with hopes of being extended.
âItâs almost like a natural thing,â Mr Walker said.
âThe yacht race has been part of Gladstoneâs DNA for 73 years and weâve got such a wonderful port and a lovely marina.
