About the Event
About
The Rolex Sydney to Hobart is a 628 nautical mile yacht race that is described as one of the most gruelling ocean races in the world. The annual race begins in Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day and finishes in Hobart.
Farewell flotillas are formed in Sydney Harbour to cheer the departing yachties as they charge through Sydney Heads before turning south, knowing they are casting their fate to the might of the great Southern Ocean and the winds of the Roaring Forties.
Days later, in Hobart, the first boats start to arrive. In 2020, to ensure a COVID safe event and reduce mass gatherings, the boats cannot receive the traditional warm welcome by the public when arriving in Hobart. The Race Village on the waterfront will be closed to the public.
Be part of one the world's great blue water classics, that has been thrilling Australian's since 1945, by following the race through www.rolexsydneyhobart.com and watching the many broadcasts, December 27th - 31st.
