‘Sailing Matters’ presentation by Denis Drouyn

Mr Denis Drouyn, son of Douglas Drouyn, skipper of the Sea-Tang, will be presenting unique historical insights and showcasing artefacts from the first Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to hear about the history of the race including the original telegrams that were read out by Douglas Drouyn to Mayor O’Malley.

We also invite you to share your stories of the First Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race. You can phone or email the Gallery & Museum to provide any recollections or come along to the talk and share them in person with the attendees.
