Bay to Bay Yacht Race 2013


When 14 people sat down to plan a trailer yacht race from Tin Can Bay to Hervey Bay on April 18, 1980, they began a sailing saga that became the biggest event of its type in Queensland- and second only in Australia.
A two day race format with a stopover at Garry's Anchorage, Fraser Island, was decided. The race now sees an average of 180 starters each year.
This year the event will be sailed over the Weekend of the 4th and 5th of May with Leg 1 Tin Can Bay to Garrys Anchorage 1100hrs to 1600hrs on Saturday, Leg 2 Garrys Anchorage to Hervey Bay 0730hrs to 1530hrs on Sunday and with trophy presentation at 2000hrs on Sunday at the Hervey Bay Boat Club.
