During the evening Illingworth was invited to take part in a Christmas cruise to Hobart, some 628 nautical miles (1,163 km) away on the island of Tasmania. “I will, if you make a race of it,” he replied. The eagerness of the response was typical of the bold spirit of the CYCA’s founding fathers. In this defining moment the legendary Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race was born.

  • Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race Prize
    REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE HONOURABLE PETER UNDERWOOD AC, GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA AT THE PRIZE GIVING CEREMONY FOR THE SYDNEY 2013 HOBART YACHT RACE, WEDNESDAY 1ST JANUARY 2014 Well here we are again. Welcome to Hobart, the finish of the 69th Sydney to Hobart yacht race. I congratulate everyone on Wild Oats XI on another truly fantastic win and also Dr Hodgkinson and his crew on Victoire for winning a perfectly planned and executed race. The Commodore of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, Mr Howard Piggott introduced this year’s race in his editorial for the latest edition of the Club’s magazine with this flourish; “A strong fleet of 94 yachts comprising five 100 foot super maxis, 22 international entries, 15 new boats, 36 first-timers, previous overall and line honours winners and many supportive regulars returning this year will take to the start line on 26th December 2013 for the 69th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. Well, it doesn’t get better much better than that does it? What a great mixture of boats it is this year. Commodore Piggott raises the tension that this race creates as he writes about the well- known names that raise the big challenge - Wild Oats XI, Ragamuffin 100, Perpetual LOYAL and Wild Thing. He writes of spirited racing between the three Volvo 70’s and what he calls the “three new builds that represent the latest thinking in offshore yacht designs.” Commodore Piggott refers to the entry of 12 Clipper 70’s designed for this year’s Clipper Round the World Race and which are using the Sydney to Hobart as one of the 16 legs in their round the world challenge.
