The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race has been run and won for another year (well nearly, still waiting for the outcome of a protest that is still in session at the time of writing this. This year saw a number of happy differences from last year:
- A close race between two maxis up the Derwent River.
- Large Gennaker sails being used – the wind was coming from the south.
- Wild Oats XI did not cross the line first again.
- An Evening Finish.
