The summer sailing gods were certainly smiling over Portsea Pier today with the 2025 Melbourne to Hobart Yacht Race fleet lining up under azure skies on crystal clear waters for the start of the race down the West Coast of Tasmania to Hobart.

It has been one day since the epic start of the 80th Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, and the front of the fleet has entered Bass Strait and expect to face an increase in southerly winds and swell.
