The battle for the 2018 Rolex Sydney Hobart is going to be fierce!

The 2018 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race promises to be another pot boiler, with one of the strongest-ever fleets chasing line honours and the overall win to secure the Tattersall Cup. A fleet of 91 will take to the 628-nautical-mile journey – those from NSW, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia, Queensland and Victoria joining the international set representing China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Poland, Russia, the UK and the USA. Five super maxis, 13 international entrants, 10 TP52s, one of the healthiest representations of 60-70 footers seen in years, smaller boats - and veterans that linger, resilient against the power of the newer models in the field – make up this year’s fleet. “When you look at the list of entries, there is a real feeling of depth and quality,” CYCA Commodore Paul Billingham says.  At the pointy end, the ‘supers’ and the larger grand prix boats will haveComanche’s race record of one day 9 hours 15 minutes 24 seconds in mind as they sail down the coast to Hobart.
