The Notice of Race for the 2010 Club Marine Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race was released today, Sunday 11 April and already four yachts have entered the 348 nautical mile race.

Scheduled to start on Friday 6 August at 1500 hours, the race will see yachts travel north past Gladstone and into tropical Queensland with a finishing destination just outside Keppel Bay Marina at Rosslyn Bay.

Now in its fourth year race organisers are hoping for a 30-40 fleet turn out.

'The race is gathering momentum and is fast becoming the next big Queensland offshore race,' said Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron Commodore Russell McCart, owner and skipper of the Farr 40 Night Nurse.

Denis Thompson, of Audi Victoria Week and Audi Hamilton Island Race Week success is back on board as Principal Race Office for the Brisbane to Keppel race.

'This is a really fun race. The finishing destination is perfect and as yachts cross the finishing line they head straight into the marina,' said Thompson.

The Club Marina Brisbane to Keppel Tropical Yacht Race is the signature yachting event for the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron.

The Race Record was set in 2009 by Black Jack, the Reichel Pugh 66 owned by Peter Harburg and skippered by Mark Bradford. Record Time: 29 hours 24 minutes 11 seconds
