The Rolex Sydney Hobart honours the bravery and sacrifice of all who have served this ANZAC Day.

Lest We Forget.

Happy International Women's Day from the Rolex Sydney Hobart 🌟

Women have been tackling the Rolex Sydney Hobart since Jane Tate finished the race in 1946 - the blue water challenge's second edition. In the nine decades following, many incredible women have followed suit and taken up the leaderboards 🏅

🌊 Jiang Lin became the first woman to claim the Tattersall Cup, and first double-handed team to do so, in the 80th running this past December
🌊 Stacey Jackson and her all-women crew onboard Wild Oats X raced the R/P66 to a close second place in 2018
🌊 Kathy Veel and Bridget Canham became the first all-women double handed team to do the race in 2022, having first completed the challenge onboard the all-women crew of Belles Long Ranger in 1989
🌊 Professional Navigator Adrienne Cahalan became the first woman to sail 25x Sydney Hobarts and is one of the most decorated SH yachtswomen. She's claimed Overall Honours 3x and Line Honours 6x.
🌊 Jiang Lin and her co-skipper Alexis Loison after finishing the 2025 edition
