1967 Race Recap

Rainbow

New Zealand boat Rainbow II, Overall Winner in 1967

Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race 1967

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 1967 Edition is here.    

Weather

Light SE at start, fading the first night, then NE. Freshening line squall from south of Gabo Island and E to SE down the Tasmanian coast.

Leaders were becalmed off Maria Island and suffered from light airs up the Derwent while the second half of the fleet had fresh NW winds down the coast and up the Derwent.
