Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race Winners

Celebrating The Things That Make Australia Unique

The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race is an icon of Australia’s summer sport, ranking in popularity with other national events such as the Davis Cup tennis and the Melbourne Cup horse race.

No yearly yachting event in the world attracts such huge media coverage as this race. The course covers a distance of 628 nautical miles from Sydney Harbour to the East coast of Australia, Bass Strait, the Tasmanian east coast, Storm Bay, Derwent River and finally Battery Point in Hobart, Tasmania.

Line Honours goes to the first yacht to cross the finishing line. The Overall Winner is determined by each yacht's finish time adjusted by several factors set down in the prevailing rules. In other words, the fastest boat is often not the Overall Winner.

   * The winners in 2004 and 2000 were both named Nicorette, but are different
      yachts. Both were sponsored by Nicorette, hence the names.

 ** The International Offshore Rules (ORC) were superseded by the International
     Measurement System (IMS). This resulted in two Overall Winners in 1993,
     1992 and 1991.
