Rolex Sydney Hobart Race 2024

The Rolex Sydney Hobart Race returns to Australia’s famed Sydney Harbour for its 79th year, December 25, 2024, through January 2, 2025. The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) announced that “entries for the highly anticipated 79th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race have officially closed and that an impressive fleet of 106 yachts is ready to take on the challenge.”

Over its near 80-year run, the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race has risen in notoriety as one of Australia’s most iconic summer sports. The race now ranks in public interest alongside national events such as the Melbourne Cup, the Australian Open, and the Boxing Day cricket test. It is said that the massive media coverage on starting day is larger than any other annual yachting event in the world.
