Sydney Hobart yacht race

Boxing Day sees the start of the Sydney to Hobart (Tasmania) Yacht Race. The race distance is approximately 630 nautical miles and often described as the most gruelling long ocean race in the world. We walked up to North Head (Manly) to see the start.

 

 

It looked like the Manly Ferry actually stopped during the race start so the yachts didn’t have to dodge them J

The first boats should reach Hobart by Friday.
