They race across 1,000 kilometres in some of the roughest seas on the planet — with no prize money at the end. Here is how to — and why you should — watch the Sydney Hobart yacht race.
If you are in Sydney and on the water, sponsor Rolex advises spectators who wish to watch the start but not follow the fleet to stick to the "western side of the harbour".
Rolex says the harbour will be "very crowded and traffic can be chaotic, so stay alert, follow the advice of race officials and remember to keep well clear of the exclusion zone between 12pm and 2pm"., which shows the positions of yachts as they move south.
