Sydney Harbour

The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race is once again due to set off from the iconic Sydney Harbour on the 26th December for the truly epic 5 day race across the Tasman Sea, scheduled to arrive at the finish in Hobart no later than new year's eve, 31st December, although the fastest yachts will of course complete the course much more quickly, with the current record standing at under 34 hours.

The challenging and prestigious race has been taking place since 1945 and is hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia and currently sponsored by Rolex, giving the event the full official title of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.

Start Time

The race starts at 1pm local time from Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day, 26th December and you can expect to see huge crowds lining the harbour to watch the yachts depart. (This of course is dependant on any safety restrictions during the month of December!)

Race Course

The course of the race covers a total of 628 nautical miles and is mainly across the Tasman Sea, although the proximity of the Bass Strait adds considerable to the level of difficulty.

After leaving Sydney harbour, the yachts head straight out into the Tasman Sea, and track down the south-east coast of Australia.

When reaching the waters of Tasmania, the fleet will then progress down the Tasmanian east coast before turnnig right into Storm Bay and folowing the Derwent River into Hobart.

TV Coverage

The main broadcaster in Australia this year is again the Seven Network, who will be covering the race on the 7mate channel.
