The skipper of a yacht built in a London brewery 122 years ago is chasing glory as he launches into what could be the boat's final race before entering a museum.

The 308 nautical mile offshore passage from Brisbane to Gladstone remains one of the most respected challenges in Australian sailing, drawing experienced offshore crews as well as emerging teams stepping up to test themselves along the Queensland coast.
This year’s fleet includes Rolex Sydney to Hobart veterans Wild Thing 100, Maritimo Katwincher, a beautifully restored 120 year old vessel, and V5 from New Zealand. It is a strong line up that should deliver plenty of action and great vision at the start.
