Thirty hours into the 74th edition of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, the four 100-ft Maxis at the front of the fleet were separated by a mere five-nautical miles with a little under 200-nautical miles still to complete. A close contest between the race leaders has ensued ever since yesterday’s memorable Sydney Harbour start. Although the race record is unlikely to be challenged, an exciting finale down the Derwent River into Hobart is forecast. There had been four retirements and the majority of the 81-strong fleet were negotiating the Bass Strait. Rolex has been Title Sponsor of the 628-nm race, organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia with the collaboration of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, since 2002.

📍If Gypsea Explorer were a human, her sails would be the arms that catch the wind, carrying us through the water. 💨🌊 ✅ We have three sails on our Sceptre 41; a Mainsail, a gib and an asymmetrical spinnaker. They all have different and important functions. 😱 When we went sailing on a little test ride, the Mainsail ripped, so we had to do a quick repair. The fantastic Kelly at Ullman Sails, made us a new Mainsail, and inspected our other sails. The Gib was sent to Bainbridge Island for a good scrubbing.
