The 83 nautical mile course takes the fleet out through the Heads and up the coast to Bird Island, about three nautical miles north-east of Norah Head, before turning for home and a finish back in the Harbour. It is the shortest race in the Pointscore. Here is how to follow every mile from home.

Watch the live tracker

Every yacht carries a GPS tracker, and its position appears on the race tracker throughout the race.

  • Tap the heart beside a yacht in the Fleet list to follow your favourites.
  • Use the race-time slider to replay the race so far, or jump back to now.
  • As the leaders turn for home, switch to the Live Finish Tracker to watch them cross the line.

Want a feel for it before Saturday? Last year’s race is still there to replay: Master Lock Comanche led from start to finish to take line honours, while URM Group won on IRC.

Check results and standings

The results page ranks the fleet on IRC, PHS, IRC Corinthian, Wild Rose IRC, Double Handed IRC and PHS, and Line Honours. Provisional standings appear about three hours after the start and firm up as each yacht finishes, but final results may still be subject to change. Results also feed straight into the Pointscore standings, so you can see how Saturday changes the season.
