Rolex Sydney Hobart 2018 - Corinthian Spirit

The 2018 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race concluded on 31 December with the final prizegiving held in Hobart, Tasmania.  Of the 85 yachts who started the 74th edition, 79 completed the 628-nm race and there were six retirements.  Recipients of Rolex timepieces were Alive as overall race winner and Wild Oats XI for line honours.  The achievements of all class winners were recognised as were the personal and collective achievements of the sailors and crews in finishing this revered and gruelling offshore race, one which is embodied by a true Corinthian spirit.  Rolex has been Title Sponsor of the 628-nm race, organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia with the collaboration of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, since 2002.
