The 57th Sydney to Hobart Line Honours winner, the Volvo 60 from Sweden Assa Abloy.
 


AFR Midnight Rambler survived the treacherous 1998 Hobart to take out the overall IMS trophy for that race.

 

With 7 Hobarts' to its credit, Simply Red was unfortunate to be one of the early retirements in this year's race.
 


The brand new Krakatoa was specifically built to compete in the Sydney to Hobart. However her race ended at Ulladulla with one of the crew needing to get ashore from acute seasickness.

 

The smallest boat at 8.9 metres in this year's Hobart fleet, Red Rock Communications. Formally Atria, this boat has taken out two divisional wins in past Sydney to Hobarts'.
 


With 13 Hobart's to her credit, the Royal Australian Navy Sailing Association's entry to the Sydney to Hobart, Lady Penrhyn, will be facing some international competition for this year's Oggin Cup from the first ever defense force entry from New Zealand, Paea II.

 

Side by side after just rounding the seaward mark are Paea II and Lady Penrhyn.
