	Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race 2007.. About the race
		Over the past 62 years, the Rolex Sydney Hobart has become an icon of Australia’s summer sport, ranking in public interest with such national events as the Melbourne Cup horse race, the Davis Cup tennis and the cricket tests between Australia and England.
		The Club has influenced the world in race communications and sea safety, maintaining the highest standards of yacht construction, rigging and stability for ocean racing yachts.

		With the IRC rule appearing to have penalised yachts with canting keels and stored power in the 2006 ratings, the 2006 Rolex Sydney Hobart line honours contenders could be sailing their own race within a race this year while the rest of the fleet hunt the ultimate prize amongst sailors, the Tattersall’s Cup.
		The 2006 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race will be a race of milestones amongst the backbone of the event, those who enter year after year for the challenge of testing themselves against the best, and worst, Mother Nature has to offer.
