Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race

After leaving Sydney on Boxing Day, maxi-yachts competing in the world's most gruelling open-ocean race start arriving in Hobart around 28 December – just in time for New Year’s Eve. (Yachties sure can party…) Check the yachts out in Constitution Dock.

People line the shores all the way through the southern suburbs to see the race finish.
