Constitution Dock, Hobart

Constitution Dock, Yachts sail out of Sydney Harbour on Boxing day and race to the finish line here.

Sadly it hasn't always been fun...
The 1998 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race was marred by tragedy when, during an exceptionally strong storm (which had similar strength winds to a lower-category hurricane), five boats sank and six people died. Of the 115 boats that started, only 44 made it to Hobart

A lovely dock area, with some pretty impressive boats.

Great shot on a beautiful day. A sad story about the race from 1998.
