BEST SPOTS TO VIEW SYDNEY TO HOBART RACE START
The Race starts at 1.00pm, but by then you should have your spot well secured. On the water, spectators who positioned in the eastern channel can watch the race start and follow the fleet down the Harbour to the Heads and out to sea. To watch the fleet sail through the Heads it is advisable to move well down the Harbour (towards Middle Head) from the start line before the starting cannon fire. At the Heads keep well clear of the rounding marks. On-water spectators who intend to just watch the race start should position themselves on the western side of the Harbour.

On water: Either side of the start line, Steele Point on the east and Taylors Bay on the west. Boaters can position themselves in the western channel at Chowder Bay, Obelisk Bay and waters to North Head or in the eastern channel in Rose Bay, Watsons Bay, Camp Cove and around South Head.

On land: the best vantage points are Bradleys Head, Chowder Bay, Georges Heights and Middle Head on the west; Shark Island, Steele Point, Vaucluse Point, South Head and The Gap on the east; North Head in the north.


To listen to a live broadcast of the start, tune into Sailors Radio on FM107.3 from 11.00am.
