Some of the most storied yachts in Australian ocean racing are again preparing for Sydney Harbour, with 14 entries already received for the 2026 Sydney Hobart Classic Yacht Regatta, hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) from 11-13 December.
Full StoryAbout The Race
The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race began in 1945 when nine yachts gathered on what was originally planned to be a leisurely cruise down to Hobart. As the spark of competition ignited amongst them, when the smallest competitor Rani sailed into Constitution Dock on New Years Day 1946, their journey gave birth to what would become the legendary Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
