The Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race is one of the world’s most iconic and demanding bluewater sailing events. First held in 1945, the race covers approximately 628 nautical miles, beginning in Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day and finishing in Hobart’s historic Constitution Dock. Its route takes competitors down the NSW coast, across the often-treacherous Bass Strait, and along Tasmania’s eastern shoreline before the final river run to the finish.
The event is famed for its unpredictability - weather systems in the strait can turn a race from smooth sailing into a brutal endurance test within hours. This combination of tactical challenges, ocean conditions and elite competition attracts a global fleet each year, from cutting-edge maxis chasing line honours to Corinthian crews battling for the coveted Tattersall Cup on handicap. The race’s history includes unforgettable rivalries, dramatic finishes and moments of extreme adversity that have shaped its reputation as a true test of seamanship.
Today, the Sydney to Hobart stands as a centrepiece of Australia’s summer sporting calendar, broadcast nationally and followed by millions. Its atmosphere blends tradition, high performance sport and the raw thrill of ocean racing, making it a defining event in world sailing.

Sydney To Hobart Preview
The 2025/26 race is shaping up as another blockbuster, with several familiar contenders expected to return alongside a new wave of technologically advanced entries. The 100-foot maxi fleet remains the headline act, with supremacy likely to again be contested between the established giants of the event and emerging designs that continue to push the limits of speed and stability. Early talk in sailing circles suggests a strong international presence, adding further intrigue to the line-honours battle.
On handicap, the race should again be wide open. Smaller and mid-sized boats have been increasingly competitive in recent years, and the 2025/26 fleet is expected to feature several newly optimised hulls and refreshed campaigns targeting the Tattersall Cup. As always, weather will play the deciding role - especially winds across Bass Strait - but with strong teams assembling and technological gains accelerating, the coming edition promises another gripping test of strategy, endurance and ocean racing excellence.
