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 ⛵📸

Well done sunriseracingteam on finishing the officialrolexsydneyhobart Yacht Race, nursing the boat home to win IRC Class 3. 👏🥇 "We snapped the boom in two, ripped the main, broke the halyard lock (again) and 50% of the crew were seasick! We saw everything from 0 knots to 40 knots upwind and downwind and had 5m waves breaking behind us! All in all an epic experience which I can recommend to everyone." - Tom Kneen. An amazing achievement down under, showing seamanship and ingenuity to bring the boat home. 💪 #RolexSydneyHobart #RORCracing #IRCrating

A colourful sea of spinnakers showcased a captivating procession out of Sydney Heads for the start of the 2022 officialrolexsydneyhobart Race today. 🤩 109 boats started the 77th edition of the race in 10-15 knots of breeze under the glorious sun and blue skies, belying the thick fog that blanketed Sydney at dawn. Andoo Comanche, skippered by John Winning Jr, leads the fleet racing for line honours, and the TP52 Warrior Won, skippered by Chris Sheehan, leads the fleet on handicap under ircrating. Good luck to all the teams competing in the great race and our warmest wishes go out to our friends at the cruising_yacht_club_australia. #RolexSydneyHobart #Rolex #CYCA #RSHYR

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.

And now for a nail-biting three days (for family here in Sydney following the race). In good conditions, the maxi yachts finish in about one-and-a-half days, but it is a longer race for the smaller boats, with crews doing the hard yards and not just supplying ballast. People tend to forget that the Sydney Hobart isn’t over after Wild Oats and Andoo (Comanche) - 100 ft yachts with 20 on board - arrive at Constitution Dock in Hobart. And the real stars are the yachts, several just 30ft, with two crew aboard, doing all the work. So, spare a thought for the sailors on boats like Patrice Six - and much smaller - achieving great things on the journey south. #rolexsydneyhobart #sydneyhobart

Navy One's 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart campaign has come to a premature end, with the Royal Australian Navy's Beneteau First 40 forced to retire due to a broken boom. She is one of three retirements across the fleet in the early hours of Wednesday 28 December. Sail Exchange has retired with a broken rudder, while Mondo is out due to a broken gooseneck. A weather system has brought increased winds to the fleet across Bass Strait. Boats are expected to remain in severe conditions until tomorrow. 📸: Navy One / saltydingomedia #RolexSydneyHobart

SYDNEY TO HOBART YACHT RACE
The Sydney to Hobart is such an icon of international sailing. Waking up on the 28th with gale force winds blowing across the Derwent and up the coast of Tasmania will be a test for all remaining competitors, giving them a taste of the ruggedness of the southern waters. I was honoured to recently paint a part of the Tasmanian coastline and wish the competitors a safe passage.

ROLEX SYDNEY HOBART 2022 | After recently arriving in Sydney earlier this year, Max Klink’s Botin 52 CARO had one week of sailing and two offshore races to their name. Since then, they have delivered the ultimate sailing masterclass. As outsiders, the crew had no illusions about how hard it would be to be the first 52 to Hobart, but they succeeded in achieving it. Caro arrived in Hobart ahead of all other 52s at 1049 AEDT on the morning of the 28th of December, nearly 20 minutes ahead of Warrior Won. Three weeks ago, Doyle Sails designer and internationally renowned professional sailor Justin Ferris, who has been instrumental throughout the entire design and build process, said that this race was a key driver for building this boat the way they have. Built to maximise performance in diverse weather conditions and to be the first 52 to Hobart in the world's most extensive and competitive offshore 52 fleets.

## Updated ## The Scallywags who no doubt are bruised and battered like the rest of this year's surviving fleet continue to put in a herculean effort.
.
.
After recovering from the initial J2 tack connector issue just outside Sydney heads and no doubt dealing with other issues since then, seeing the team's performance winding in what was a 30+ nm deficit at one stage to getting within just a little over 10nm from Black Jack this afternoon has been nothing short of inspirational.
.
.
## Damage Update 17:00 28/12/21 ## : David Witt has confirmed in an interview with the Daily Telegraph this afternoon that the yacht has suffered many additional issues "from breakages to the motor, to electrical and no instruments". The J2 tack fitting issue experienced just outside Sydney Heads "happened another two times just as we regained lost miles". The J2 fitting breakage impacts sail options and as a result boat speed, with the motor issues potentially impacting the hydraulics used to power winches and the canting keel. No electronic instrumentation limits the supporting data you get from the boat to inform sailing angles and sail cross overs. In true Scallywag form and aligned to our team ethos despite all the issues Witty is also quoted as saying "But the crew are dealing well. They never give up."
.
.
Endure Adapt Excel keep up the amazing work Witty & team!
.
.
With Storm Bay and the notoriously tricky River Derwent ahead of the 3 supermaxis it is still anyone's race.

My 6th Sydney-Hobart about to kick off, this year on Alegria Republic. Extremely fast race forecast for this year for the front half of the fleet! Unfortunately the forecast doesn’t favour our all-round design and the planing boats will get the jump on us, but we’ll have a great crack at it.
Top 20 overall and 3rd in division would see us pretty pleased! Best of luck to all racing, and stay safe! #rolexsydneyhobart #sailing #sydney #hobart

A real one off life experience to go out on the harbour with two times finisher Greg Parker in the iconic Sydney to Hobart race...mixing it at the start with the sleek 30m maxis, including previous winners Wild Oats and Comanche on a glorious Sydney summers day...perfection on Boxing Day 2022! Thank you to Greg and Sarah.

The four 100-foot maxis have all finished the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. After Andoo Comanche took Line Honours just before 1am local time (AEDT), LawConnect was second over the line less than half an hour later. The John H Illingworth Challenge Cup has been agonisingly close for LawConnect owner/skipper Christian Beck. He's finished second over the line in each of the last three Rolex Sydney Hobarts. Next to arrive was the 2021 Line Honours winner, Black Jack, while Hamilton Island Wild Oats was about an hour further back. There is a bit of a gap to the pack of mini maxis, led by Stefan Racing. They're due to arrive from around 6am local time, closely followed by the highly-fancied TP52s, who dominate the Overall leaderboard at this stage. Stay tuned to rolexsydneyhobart.com for more action from the race track. Follow the live tracker and view the live standings at rolexsydneyhobart.com. #RolexSydneyHobart

Maluka, the oldest and smallest boat in the fleet, has just finished its eighth Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Skippered by Peter Langman, the 1932 Tasmanian Huon Pine hulled Ranger has a history with the Langman family as it was the boat Peter did his first Hobart in 2011 with his father Sean. "Maluka has a pretty special place in my heart, whenever I finish a race on Maluka I feel it is an accomplishment." said Peter. Langman and his mixed crew of novice and expert sailors have certainly accomplished a great feat, winning division 5 this year. Let alone beating rough open oceans and this year's range of conditions in the yacht. 3 boats are still racing, 9 have retired and 98 boats have finished the 77th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. #RolexSydneyHobart 📸saltydingomedia

There were lots of cheers this afternoon as 21 boats including 5 two-handed, crossed the finish line. Conditions eased as a light easterly guided yachts home. Finishers included Kialoa II, Helsal 3, Hutchies Yeah Baby and two-handers Mistral and Ocean Crusaders J-Bird. Mistral, co-skippered by Rupert Henry and Greg O'Shea, leads the Two-Handed Division, while Ocean Crusaders J-Bird was the first two-hander over the line.

For many Sydneysiders, Boxing Day wouldn't be Boxing Day without heading down to the harbour to watch the spectacular start of the iconic Rolex Sydney Hobart Race. Often attracting over 100 entries from around the world, this iconic 630nm offshore extravaganza is at the top of many a sailor's bucket list.⁠
⁠
With the start gun for the 2022 edition a mere 72 days away, we've just launched places to take part in 2023.⁠

Ocean Crusaders J-Bird isn't your typical TP52. She will be sailed two-handed in the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race by husband and wife, Ian and Annika Thomson. The boat is also powered by electric batteries and has nine solar panels, with the campaign sharing an important environmental message.

Claire Bennett’s father, Richard, is a world renowned yachting photographer. This year marks his 49th consecutive year capturing the officialrolexsydneyhobart. In the coming days from dusk until dawn, Richard will be based on Tasman Island with his other daughter and right hand photographer, our very own alicebennettphotography. The duo will capture the yachts in their element as they make their way to the finish line of the worlds toughest ocean race. Today he met with Win and Southern Cross to chat about his renowned aerial photography and his donation of 46 prints to Hobart's Maritime Museum. Our PR specialist Mark arranged today's media opportunity, with both pieces being aired tonight on respective stations. Tune in!

Only 2 sleeps to go until the big race! officialrolexsydneyhobart While I do look forward to making the journey to Hobart on a plane, rather than on the boat 😂… spending time onboard over these past few months has been a dream come true… As a kid, we always supported Wild Oats XI from in front of the TV… or from the headland in Narooma, hoping to get a glimpse of her as she sailed past during the race… so I definitely have this huge sense of pride to be involved with the program today! It’s been a mammoth effort on everyone’s part to get to this point… so definitely keeping everything crossed for a good result. Go the Oats!! wildoatsxi 📸 fedwardss #hamiltonisland #wildoatsxi #rolexsydneyhobart

It has been a tough and wet second day of racing in the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race for our sailors on LawConnect. They have now made their way to the treacherous Bass Straight and continue to push hard at the front of the fleet. Skipper Christian Beck is very happy with how they are sailing. ''We're going very well'', he said. ''The weather has been rough especially last night, but everyone is holding up and working hard''. 📸 afrancolini #Zhik #MadeForWater | lawconnectau #FindALayer #RolexSydneyHobart

Unattended boats generate humidity and moisture below because of water, air, and hull surface temperatures that are never identical and always changing. While true even in a "dry" climate, this process accelerates in a humid climate and in cold water. When you ventilate your boat, you want to do more than simply move air — you want to equalize the humidity levels inside and outside the boat, including areas between hulls, behind paneling and other enclosed areas that you don't normally see. When you close off your boat's cabin to "protect" it from humidity, you may actually cause the humidity level below deck to rise. And no matter where your boat is docked, humidity and temperature levels vary, and there is a differential between air temperature and water temperature that's constantly changing. When there is a difference in temperature, moisture forms. You see this happen in a rainstorm, when a hot air mass and a cold air mass meet, reducing the humidity in the atmosphere into water, or rain. Although not as extreme, the same phenomenon is constantly taking place on your boat, due to the temperature difference between the cabin (which is affected by water temperature and heat build-up during the day) and the air temperature outside. It is that humidity (or condensation) in the cabin that will do the most damage. Over a relatively short period of time — just a few days or a few weeks at most — moisture inside the boat creates an ideal atmosphere for various molds and fungi to grow. Not only are mold, mildew, and musty air unpleasant, but they can damage your boat's interior wood surfaces, fabrics, electronics, and metal components, as well as make you and your guests sick. Over the long term, wood rot is an additional potentially costly problem as well. #rolexsydneyhobart #bootdüsseldorf #sailinginstagram #boatwork #bluewatercrusing #buchanmarine Cowl vents and accessories available on Amazon and at www.buchanmarine.com
