Dekadence Near the finish
One of the great things about Christmas time in Hobart is when all the ocean racing boats sail in for the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race. It is sad that these days a lot of the faster boats turn around and head back to Sydney within hours to participate in the Sydney-Coffs Harbour Race, which happens early in the new year.
If they don’t head back, then there is usually a good chance they will participate in the King of the Derwent Yacht Race held usually around the 2nd January each year.
This year I had the pleasure of watching the event from the deck of the Cartela, giving me plenty of opportunity to take some photos.
There are a selection of images I have taken of the event. Please click on the image for a larger version.
