No other race in Australia consists of two fleets, an offshore and
inshore fleet, both starting and finishing at the same place.
TheSurf to City Yacht Race is also one of a handful of races that see
both monohull and multihull yachts compete against each other.
In 2010, the Surf to City attracted 90 of the most influential yachts
in Queensland and northern New South Wales ranging in size from
the mighty Black Jack to 7m trailer sailors.
The Inshore Fleet is usually a day race. The course follows the
main channel from Southport to Brisbane past all of the islands in
the southern part of Moreton Bay.
The Offshore Fleet is a day/night race. Starting off the Southport
Seaway, the yachts head north around Cape Moreton to enter
Moreton Bay and then to the finish.
The race is organised and hosted by Queensland Cruising Yacht
Club and run in association with Southport Yacht Club.
Yacht owners interested in entering the event can download the
