Rolex Sydney Hobart

Australia's Boxing Day classic from Sydney to Hobart across Bass Strait.

Sailed since 1945, the race follows the New South Wales coast, crosses Bass Strait, runs down Tasmania's east coast, then up the Derwent to Hobart. In 2025 Min River became the first two-handed boat to win overall.
