Fatal 2024 Sydney to Hobart | Gale Force Winds, 30 Retired Yachts (Full Race Documentary)

My Mum and I have set off double-handed on one of the world’s toughest and most prestigious yacht races, the 2024 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. This year's 628 nautical mile ocean race was met with tragedy as the fleet sailed into gale-force winds. Two sailors' lives were lost, three boats were dismasted, and another sailor washed overboard. This race proves to be the most disastrous outcome since the tragic 1998 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. This documentary follows life from the rails and aboard Fika as we sail from Sydney to Hobart.
