Australia’s Summer Sporting Icon

Charting a New Era of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race

Spanning 628 nautical miles of grit, determination and stamina, the annual Rolex Sydney Hobart is one of the world’s toughest and most prestigious yacht races. Each Boxing Day, the Sydney Hobart fleet launches from spectacular Sydney Harbour, navigating Australia’s east coast before braving notorious Bass Strait – known as “the paddock” – to reach Tasmanian waters. With Nine as the new race partner, your brand can set sail with this legendary race to reach all of Australia.
