S2H Start of the Sydney to Hobart

[garymalmgren]

This is an end of the year tradition in OZ.
I am following Currawong in the double hander class.

Two-person crews ‘excited’ to finally get a shot at overall prize

The Sydney to Hobart race will feature 22 boats in the two-handed race category, and unlike last year they will have a chance to claim overall honours.

Thank you Gary for the post. What a magic day to be sailing out of Sydney Harbor. Managing one of those Maxi's in such tight quarters, it is a wonder there were no crashes.
What a boxing day treat.

Thanks for posting! Wild time getting out of the harbor with those big guys slaloming between each other. Good to see them doing their penalty turns.

If like me you are watching this adventure, thank you Gary....

You might find the tracker link interesting.

It provides a wealth of information about the boats location and the boat/crew etc.

Good morning (well it is here in Japan) JS.
I am following the live tracker.
Especially the tail enders, Currawong as I posted above (two ladies of my vintage) VS Gunrunner the old small Army boat.
They will stay close to each other all the way.
Also Maluka. 90 year old Gaffer that screams along.
