|
|

Mention the leading ocean races in the world, and the Rolex Sydney Hobart is certainly in the top three. This 628-mile offshore race organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia provides a tough test for skippers, tacticians and crews alike. This year's race will be the 62nd annual edition of this time-honoured event. In this race, Rolex saw a yachting classic that attracts a well-seasoned fleet ready to test themselves against the challenging conditions.
