20TH - 28TH OCTOBER, 2024

Every two years, the International One Metre (IOM) class of radio-controlled yachts invites the best radio-controlled sailors from around the globe to compete for World Championship glory.

The eyes of the radio sailing community have turned to Queensland, Australia as the harbour city of Gladstone is ready to host this prestigious international event. 

Our goal is to provide the best on-water racing experience for competitors, teamed with enjoyable off-water social experiences, hospitality and fellowship.

With Gladstone ideally situated as the departure point for access to the Southern Great Barrier Reef - bring the family, come for the racing and stay for a holiday.

Come down to the Gladstone Marina, next to VMR Gladstone until the 28th of October and check it all out.

What is an IOM?

It’s a misconception that the International One Metre (IOM) is a model or toy. The IOM is actually not a model of anything (to scale) but a stand-alone,  registered and governed class of yacht, internationally recognised and raced in over 30 countries by thousands of sailors. The IOM class is the most popular radio-controlled racing yacht in the world today.

1994 was the first World Title event held in Saint-Cyr, Vienne, France and was swept by three Englishmen, Graham Bantock, Chris Dicks, and Mark Dicks. Since then, only two Australians have sat on the highest step, Craig Smith (1997 & 2005) and Brad Gibson (2007). The current World Champion is Olivier Cohen from France (2022).

Welcome to Our Site

Welcome to the GRCYC

The Gladstone Radio Controlled Yacht Club (GRCYC) is a legacy to all our many members, past and present. The GRCYC sails most Sundays (with the kind permission of the Gladstone Ports Corporation) to the right-hand side of the VMR building, on the commercial jetty in the Gladstone Marina. 

From a unique 'overwatch' position, sailors and spectators enjoy unrestricted views of the International One Meter class of yacht against a stunning Gladstone backdrop, While one-design yacht racing is fast-paced and competitive, sportsmanship and fair play have been at the heart of our club since it's 're-birth in 2005   If you are interested, the GRCYC has a complimentary club boat to experience this challenging sport first-hand, come down and see members on site for details. 

New members and spectators are most welcome.
