J/99 Jupiter Double Hander © Race Yachts

Min River takes the Hobart win, with double handers dominating the top ten, a remarkable result and a powerful statement for the class.

Ever thought about, or dreamt of, racing the Rolex Sydney Hobart? Or taking on the ultimate challenge of double-handed offshore sailing?

Now is the time. The double-handed fleet continues to grow, and the 80th race showed just what's possible with the right preparation, the right mindset and the right boat.

It was an incredible Hobart race. Yes, the weather always plays its part, but it was refreshing to see smaller boats taking the glory. Proof that you don't need a big boat to stand on the podium. Just a well prepared race yacht and a committed team.

We strongly encourage both double handers and fully crewed smaller race yachts to keep pushing, keep dreaming, and have a go.

Congratulations to all competitors.

If this has sparked an idea, come and take a look at some excellent opportunities.

When only the best will do.....
