1952 Race Recap
1952 Overall Winner Ingrid (SA 5)
Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 1952
Race Program
Prior to each race Cruising Yacht Club of Australia publishes a separate official race program (with details of competing boats, the results of past races and articles about the race and its participants and other important events). The 1952 Edition is here.
Weather
Light fickle winds and flat calms made luck a major factor and gave the small boats the edge. Nocturne, a 35 footer, beat much larger yachts over the line.
