The legendary Sydney-Hobart race is truly a world class race - simply because participants need to be 💪🌏
1998 was the most disastrous in the race's history, with the loss of six lives and five yachts 🌊😥
Gusts up to 80 knots and winds up to 65 knots 🌪️ Of the 115 participating boats, only 44 yachts completed the race 🧭
Safety and respect for the conditions must always be paramount! 💙
This crazy shot from the 1998 race was shared by the talented sailingcatflap ⛵📸

Tasman Island Under The Mist Tasman Island Series This image is part of a series I captured for my new book Blue Water Classics: Portraits of the Syd year Hobart Yacht Race. A deep land fog had descended over Cape Pillar and Tasman. As we entered the narrow passage between the temperature plummeted but the light was just so stunning. I love Tasmania, and everything she gives to us.

Santana last raced to Hobart in 2004 when Mike Kelaher retired her from the race so its great to see her new owner Michael Graham complete the race this year in the historic 75th edition.

This is Black Jack who is currently fighting it out for line honours in the Sydney to Hobart, leading the fleet and about to round Tasman Island. There are only 52 yachts remaining in the race after 36 yachts were forced to retire after heavy weather and squalls battered us during the first 24hrs of racing. On Blink we were unfortunately one of the casualties, tearing our mainsail after leading our division early in the race. Good luck to the remaining competitors, I’m watching the finish from the edge of my (lounge) seat #rolexsydneyhobart #instasailing #yachtracing #blinkracing #blackjack

WILL THE SYDNEY TO HOBART RACE BE RUINED BY TASMANIAN SALMON FISH FARM EXPANSION? This life size seal is made entirely from trash that has floated ashore from toxic tasmanian salmon farms. It represents the huge damage this industry does to our marine waterways and particularly our wildlife. And this industry wants to expand even more! Threatened by this expansion is Storm bay where soon the #sydneytohobart yachts will race through. Come down on Tuesday the 28th to the Hobart waterfront to see this incredible sculpture and to tell the #toxic salmon industry to stop ruining our marine environment. #rolexsydneyhobart #politas #fishfarms #toxicsalmon

URM (RP72) won the Bird Island Race today on line honours by just five minutes over Money Penny (RP69) breaking the race record!!! A few shots here, including a few tip outs, thanks to our friends at aeromedia.au 🙌🏻⛵️👏🏻

Will salmon farms ruin the future of the Sydney to hobart? Today, at the start line of the #sydneytohobart the yacht LOQUAX displayed a huge banner for all to see: NO TOXIC TASMANIAN SALMON. The salmon industry, not content with destroying our amazing marine ecosystems, now wants to drop a whole bunch of fish farms in Storm Bay, right where the yachts from the Sydney to Hobart have to sail. Let's not let big salmon destroy and steal our public waters. Our oceans, rivers and marine wildlife need to be protected not polluted! Thanks to Peter and the crew of LOQUAX for making this issue visible for everyone to see today! #politas #toxicsalmon #rolexsydneyhobart #toxic #tassiesalmon #salmon #fishfarms #fishfarmsout

🕒 The countdown is on for the 2021 officialrolexsydneyhobart yacht race which kicks off in exactly one month from today. With a fleet of 106 boats registered, crew members are now gearing up to take on the iconic 628nm offshore sprint from Sydney to Hobart, marked by the battle for the Tattersall Cup and the introduction of the Two-Handed Division. Matt Allen’s Botin 52 Ichi Ban is hoping to become the third boat to win the Tattersall Cup three times, having won the 2017 and 2019 editions of the race. Allen remarked: "We have a chance of going back-to-back, but we will put that out of our minds - we're pretty superstitious! You need all the moons to align. You need a terrific boat, a terrific crew, but you also need luck down Storm Bay and the Derwent River." This legendary offshore race is followed by sailors from all over the world and is a true test of ability and perseverance. Will you be watching? #RolexSydneyHobart 📸 Rolex/Kurt Arrigo

False start.
Perfect weather window, boat all ready to go, fridge full and captain ready to do a solo passage back to Australia but the insurance decided that they wouldn’t cover us for a long singlehanded passage on such a big boat. Very disappointing obviously but not worth the risk.
So heading back to our anchorage in the Bay of island and hopefully we’ll be able to fly a crew over from Australia soon.
Alternatively, if you know of any Aussie in NZ wanting to sail back on the sexiest boat around, hit us up!

Race day! Southerly winds and a steep sea state will challenge us during the first 24hrs but a good chance for Blink to power through and get in front.

When blackjackyachting’s mast fell over the side during a record-setting run last April, the team quickly decided to turn their devastating loss into a performance upgrade. That decision paid off when Peter Harburg’s team claimed line honors in the 76th edition of the #RolexSydneyHobartYachtRace.

Teams are approaching the finish line in this year’s 76th edition of the officialrolexsydneyhobart, which has lived up to its fierce reputation. The quest for overall victory and the Tattersall Cup has heated up and is "up for grabs", according to Michael Bellingham, navigator on Whisper. The start of the “Great Race” saw strong southerly winds that reached 30 knots and a southern current, causing numerous withdrawals, however, the remaining teams are pushing hard to the end. Good luck and safe sailing to all. Catch ya in Hobart! #RSHYR #rolexsydneyhobart #rolexsydneyhobartyachtrace 📸 rolex / Andrea Francolini

First Sydney-Hobart done and dusted! ✅ Definitely a huge challenge with the wind being on the nose the entire time and our fair share of boat issues, but working with everyone on this incredible team and the spirit of not giving up developed a new found respect of offshore sailing for me.

MATT ALLEN’S TP52 BOTIN ICHI BAN WINS HISTORIC THIRD TATTERSALL CUP🏆 AS THE OVERALL WINNER OF THE ROLEX SYDNEY HOBART YACHT RACE 🥇⛵️ 💬“To win with Ichi Ban a third time is unbelievable. It’s always better, ideally, not to go into the room to decide," the yachtsman said, referring to two protests against Sam Haynes’ Celestial (including one from Ichi Ban) - the winner of the Fully Crewed ORCi, which finished with a better time but received a penalty in the protest room and so placed second overall to Allen’s boat. Allen, a member of the Australian Olympic Committee and immediate past president of Australian Sailing, launched Ichi Ban in late December 2017. It has paid him back time and again. 🔄officialrolexsydneyhobart

An impressive start to the highly anticipated officialrolexsydneyhobart Yacht Race was marked by a moody sky over Sydney Harbour and Seng Huang Lee's SHK Scallywag 100 was first out of the Heads after a thrilling start. The 2021 fleet is currently making the 628 nm trek down to Hobart. Considered one of the most difficult offshore races in the sport of sailing, simply making it to the finish line is an accomplishment, but winning is the ultimate honor. We'll be keeping an eye on the race tracker (link in bio!) for the next few days, and waiting in anticipation to see who collects the highly sought after line honors and overall winner in the 76th edition of this historic race. #rolexsydneyhobart #sydneytohobart #RSHYR

Fantastic delivery from Hobart to Sydney on the 100' supermaxi 'InfoTrack'! Here is a quick drone edit that I made yesterday, full edit with GoPro and A7 footage to come soon, after I'm home. Great way to cap off a brilliant business trip to Australia. Amazing boat and experience, but as with most things in life it's the people who make it truly special. Vinaka vaka levu to connorpjack dagenaisgaw lucasvchapman alex_gough93 barkarate and a host of other legends for making the trip so enjoyable. Third 100 footer I have been on and 2nd big offshore on a supermaxi, I love these boats!!!!!! Thanks to nicdouglass for helping line this up. 2020 has been a cracker so far, can't wait to see what the next 51 weeks bring!

5 days to another Sydney Hobart. Seems it’s going to have a bit of everything but it will be a cold race. Here's a birdseye view of what it’s like getting belted by bullets of freezing cold water while punching through a 10ft swell off the coast of Tasmania during the 2009 Sydney Hobart on the 100ft Supermaxi Lahana.

25 to 35 knots westerlies in Sydney yesterday.
We went for a nice downwind run offshore and come back, got the team to practice reefing and a few tacks and jibes.
We were pushing 10’s downwind and around 8 knots on the way up with only our staysail and 2nd reefed main. #spinnaker #bateau #bateauclassic #instasailing #transom #transomtuesday #swan65 #nautorswan #downwind #downwinders #sparkmanandstephens #sparkmanandstephensswan #yachtrace #yachtracing #learntosail #clipperrace #oceanrace #offshorerace #sydneyhobart #sydneytohobart #sydneyauckland #rolexsailingweek #rolexsydneyhobart #rolexsydneyhobartyachtrace #sydneytohobart #sydneytohobartyachtrace #tasmania #sydneysailing #australiasailing #westisthebest

Great day on the water yesterday for Australia Day regatta, had a great start and downwind run down to Botany Bay but an unfortunate patch with no breeze got us parked for 20 minutes and drifting with the current while rest of the fleet casually sailed past us . Managed to teach up with a douze boats on a great upwind leg back to Sydney harbour. Lots of smiles onboard :)

officialrolexsydneyhobart 2021 🏁 Congratulation to Jules Hall and Jan Scholten for winning in all 3 handicap system the inaugural two handed division for the Rolex Sydney Hobart onboard their J/99 @disko_trooper - Contender Sailcloth. ‼️ It has been a challenging race with almost half of the fleet retiring in the first 30 hours following a windy and wavy first upwind part. Then after a fast reach, they quickly had to deal with light changing winds. Jules & Jan could not have use better the versatile capacity of the J/99 in these conditions. 💯 Well done guys 👏👏 #rolexsydneyhobart #sydneyhobart #orcsailing #sailing #australia #tasmania #hobart #J99 #jboats #jcomposites #yachtlife #winner #yachtrace #doublehanded #sailor #amazingrace #regata #sailingpassion #vela #sailing #instasailing #lovesea #seascape # #sailorman #rolexsydneyhobartyachtrace #offshoresailing #sydneytohobart #Sydney #yachtracing

Fantastic to race alongside legends including some sparkmanstephens_association designs : kialoa_2 and Love and war we’re here for the race looking pretty and going really well .
Thanks to the cruising_yacht_club_australia for having us.

Eve, coming through Sydney Heads back from a training started in Port Stephens. Pinching to get inside south head with a furled headsail stay sail , 3rd reefed main and reefed mizzen. It was a great day to be out on the water with 40degrees and 40 knots :) Was good to see a lot of other race boats out training before Cabbage Tree island race coming this Friday, where all the other Boat racing in the #sydneytohobart will be around.

Took a day off and went offshore to try to find some whales 🐳 to say hi to, but they weren’t around.
Still awesome be offshore for an arvo a sail in perfect conditions, anyone who was shooting of Sydney heads at sunset must have some nice shots of us flying into the harbour at 10’knots • #spinnaker #voilemagazine #bateau #bateauclassic #instasailing #transom #transomtuesday #swan65 #sparkmanandstephens #sparkmanandstephensswan #yachtrace #yachtracing #learntosail #clipperrace #oceanrace #offshorerace #sydneyhobart #sydneytohobart #sydneyauckland #rolexsailingweek #rolexsydneyhobart #rolexsydneyhobartyachtrace #sydneytohobart #sydneytohobartyachtrace #tasmania #sydneysailing #australiasailing

Matt Allen's Ichi Ban goes back-to-back for a third Tattersall Cup win! 🏆 👏🏼 Congratulations to Matt Allen and the crew of TP52 Ichi Ban, overall winners of the 2021 officialrolexsydneyhobart Yacht Race for the best corrected time under IRC. "To win with Ichi Ban a third time is unbelievable." "This is a time we will never forget. I have a mix of young, old and wise crew. It was a great opportunity for the guys who worked so hard," said Allen, who also won the race as crew for Lou Abrahams on Challenge in 1983. Ichi Ban finished with a corrected time of 04D 10H 17M 39S, just under an hour ahead of rivals Celestial the TP52 skippered by Sam Haynes. #IRCrating #RolexSydneyHobart

We would like to wish Gun Runner and her crew the best of luck! ⛵ #RolexSydneyHobart

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
We have made the decision to cancel our trip in the South Pacific in 2020 and to instead come back to Australia.
We are looking for crew willing to join us to sail back around the 15th of July from the bay of islands to Brisbane.
Bear in mind that you need to be obviously already in NZ since their borders are closed, and need to be an Australian citizen or permanent resident to be allowed into the country.
You will also most likely be then stuck in Australia for a while.
Some exemption can be granted under specific circumstances to NZ citizen/ permanent resident, which you’ll find on their website. ( https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au )

Happy New Year to you all.
Despite all the events that came to shake us all throughout the year, 2020 was certainly not one to forget.
It started last January with a fantastic delivery from Hobart, a great passage to New Zealand, some racing in the local sailing clubs of Russel and Opua, a fake solo trip back to Australia and a great Sydney to Hobart training campaign, which included that very brief moment where we managed to keep the great kialoa_2 behind us for half a leg during the classic regatta . Happy 2021 to everyone, fair wind long surf 🌊 📸 afrancolini
