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).
