Sydney to Hobart : 26 December 2005

As is traditional in Sydney on Boxing Day, the residents and tourists alike, find the best viewing spot along the harbour foreshore and watch the spectacle that is the "Sydney to Hobart" Yacht Race ... Boxing Day 2005 produced the most magnificent weather for a perfect start to this year's race ... we booked ourselves a spot on the top of Dobroyd Head which looks straight out the Harbour entrance and thus we were entertained with the sights and sounds of boats, yachts and helicopters ... enjoy watching the Super Maxi Yachts fighting the line honours to be the first out the harbour ...

The line up ... waiting for the gun ...

South Head ... waiting to see who would be first out the heads ...


Wild Oats was first out ... with Alpha Romeo close behind and Skandia coming a slim third ...
