Every year on Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) a fleet of sailing yachts sets out from Sydney to sail down to Hobart, Tasmania.
It is quite a sight to see all these sailboats from the fastest 100 footers to the smallest yacht tack upwind from the harbour and turn south onto the ocean.

Accompanied by hundreds of boats and news helicopters, the sailors are approaching South Head here for 2 days and 6 hours for the fastest, but over 5 days for the slower ships to get to Tassie.
Hope they all make it before the new year!
Between number 1 and 2 were only 3 minutes with Investec Loyal beating 5-times winner Wild Oates.
