Two sailors taking part in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race have died at sea amid wild weather conditions.
Our thoughts this morning are with the two sailors that tragically lost their lives in the Sydney to Hobart race overnight. The crew member aboard Bowline was struck approximately 30 nautical miles east/north-east of Batemans Bay and fell unconscious, with CPR also unsuccessful. Flying Fish Arctos, a New South Wales-based 50-footer, has contested 17 previous Hobarts since being built in 2001. The boat was designed for round-the-world sailing and is currently used by Flying Fish, a sailing school that operates in Mosman, a suburb on Sydney’s north shore.
