It's Boxing Day

That means the Sydney to Hobart is on!

The Sydney to Hobart (for all you people who CLEARLY have been living under a rock all this time) is one of the biggest ocean races in the world (along with the Fastnet, Transat, Vendee Globe, Volvo Ocean Race...)

Now I know that I have often said I hate yachts, I make an exception for beautiful racing machines such as these. There is nothing sexier that a pure-bred 98 foot racing machine which powers through the water like Wild Oats XI here:


I really wish they'd put better pictures on the official site...

Still, I'm quietly supporting ABN AMRO ONE, a Volvo 70 from the latest Volvo Ocean Race, even thought they really have no chance against the supermaxis.

For more information and the Yacht Tracker, go to the official website for the race.

Update: ABN AMRO ONE takes the lead! By 0.9 nautical miles, but still the lead!
