Sydney to Hobart yacht race — how to watch and what to look for
Since its beginning in 1945, the Sydney to Hobart yacht race has become one of the pinnacles for sailing competitors, with the event being a test of skill, teamwork, nautical engineering and tactics — with weather providing the wild card.
If you know what to look for, the race can be an enjoyable experience.
Here are some tips for getting the best out of it.
When does it start?
About 111 boats ranging from the super maxis (longer than 20 metres) to smaller 30-footers (9 metres) will be ready to go at 1pm AEDT Boxing Day on Sydney Harbour.
The start is arguably one of the greatest spectacles in modern sport.
