    Sydney to Hobart fleet told to expect challenging first night

    The Sydney to Hobart fleet have been told to expect swift and challenging first night conditions but they are unlikely to encounter any brutal southerlies in this year's race


    Light winds are forecast at the start, but stiff north to north-easterly gusts of up to 35 knots on Boxing Day evening and into the next day.
