Highlights
- A Boxing Day start on Sydney Harbour
- An offshore course to Hobart

Plan it well
- Check official spectator and exclusion-zone notices close to race day.
- Do not infer an exact Hobart arrival time from the event end date.
- Use sun and weather protection at exposed harbour viewpoints.
