The Rolex Sydney to Hobart race is one of the world’s most prestigious ocean races and is a superb test of seamanship, skill, tactics, and endurance. The world famous 628 miles race sees around 130 yachts come together each year to do battle with the competition and with the elements. Starting in Sydney on Boxing Day the 630nm course takes the fleet south towards the Southern Ocean, across the shallow waters of the Bass Strait and finally up the Derwent River, to the finish line in Hobart, Tasmania. Huge seas and strong winds are often a feature of this infamous offshore race, arguably the most prestigious and toughest ocean yacht race in the world

From the spectacular start in Sydney Harbour, the fleet sails out into the Tasman Sea, down the south-east coast of mainland Australia, across Bass Strait (which divides the mainland from the island State of Tasmania), then down the east coast of Tasmania. At Tasman Island the fleet turns right into Storm Bay for the final sail up the Derwent River to the historic port city of Hobart.
Crew will need to find accommodation ashore in the days ahead of the race
