# Regata Sydney Hobart

La Regata Sydney Hobart, organitzada pel Cruising Yacht Club d'Austràlia, en col·laboració amb el Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, és una competició de vela esportiva que surt de la ciutat de Sydney (Austràlia) el 26 de desembre de cada any i arribant com a destí a la ciutat tasmana de Hobart. La distància que es recorre és d'unes 630 milles nàutiques.

## Història

La regata inaugural va tenir lloc el 1945 amb nou participants, essent vençuda pel vaixell "Rani" en 6 dies, 14 hores i 22 minuts.
L'any 1998, la prova estigué marcada per la tragèdia, a causa d'una tempesta que causà l'enfonsament de cinc iots i la mort de sis persones. Dels 115 vaixells que salparen de Sydney, només arribaren a Hobart 44.
El 2005, el iot Wild Oats XI va batre el rècord de la regata amb un temps d'1 dia, 18 hores, 40 minuts i 10 segons.
Rolex patrocina la prova des del 2002, prenent des d'aleshores el nom de Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Aquest patrocini continuarà fins al 2010.
