Race in the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race this year aboard one of our race yachts...
Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race
The Rolex Sydney Hobart Race is a new event in our growing portfolio of campaigns. It is one of the most famous ocean races in the world and starts every year on Boxing Day. The 600 mile course is a tough challenge for both the team and yacht and will push everyone very hard. This race certainly is not for the feint hearted!
Our Sydney to Hobart campaign provides a fantastic opportunity to compete in this infamous classic race whilst getting away from a dull and dreary English winter. Why not come and join us in the sunshine in December and enjoy New Years Eve celebrating in the wonderfully hospitable town of Hobart.
Over the past 62 years, the Rolex Sydney Hobart has become an icon of Australia’s summer sport, ranking in public interest with such national events as the Melbourne Cup horse race, the Davis Cup tennis and the cricket tests between Australia and England. No yachting event in the world attracts such huge media coverage – except, of course, the America’s Cup and the Volvo Ocean Race – than does the start on Sydney Harbour. And the others only happen every four or five years.
Philippe Falle, our hugely successful offshore racing skipper will be leading the team. There will be two weekends of training on our Reflex 38 in the Solent prior to leaving for Australia. This will be followed by a comprehensive training schedule in Sydney in the build up to the race.
The team will work closely together in Sydney training, prepping the yacht and completing the qualifying passage before starting the race on Boxing Day. It will not all be hard work! It is the festive season and there will be a large emphasis on ‘FUN.’ Enjoying the sights of Sydney, savouring the wonderful sea food and Aussie wines whilst celebrating a Christmas that is guaranteed not to be white are all very important in the Sydney to Hobart 2008 experience. What a way to spend your festive season in 2008. Call us now to register your interest.
We are finalising the package at the moment. Full details will be available very shortly. We anticipate that the cost of the campaign will be between £3500 and £4,000. This will include all the training, skipper, food on board, entry fees, yacht charter and team kit. It will not include flights to Australia or accommodation in Australia or Hobart.
