Another running of this coming up soon.........if I recall right Caprice of Huon got badly shunted last year at the start of the first race and that was the end of their regatta trust it doesn't occur again.......https://www.sail-world.com/news/223541/2019-Sydney-Hobart-Classic-Yacht-Regatta-preview
Still cannot believe how Caprice won the first 3 races of the 1965 Admirals Cup as a 13 year old boat, and then returned with Balandra and Mercedes III to win the 1967 event.........

I have been thinking about sailing down to participate but trying to fit into work schedule is proving hard
