An historic moment for the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race
26 December 2018
For the first time in the race's 73-year history, an all-female team will tackle the Bass Strait.
The Ocean Respect Racing team, who will be manning the Wild Oats X yacht, includes two Kiwis in Bianca Cook and Keryn McMaster.
Cook says although it's a special moment, she doesn't want the public to view the team any differently.
The race gets underway at 3pm.
