Description

At 1pm on Boxing Day the harbour fills with yachts and spectator boats as the fleet sets off on the 628-nautical-mile race to Hobart. Headlands around the harbour make superb free vantage points.

Good to know

  • Get to your spot by late morning — headlands fill quickly.

  • Bring water, a hat and binoculars.
