The fourth leg is slightly different compared the previous ones, as it has the specialty of two stopovers – Sydney and Hobart (Tasmania) – before finishing in Airlie Beach (Withsundays). The reason for the division is the famous ‘Sydney Hobart Yacht Race’, in which we will have the great privilege to take part in. It is every sailor’s dream to cross the finish line of this prestigious race (the southern hemisphere equivalent to the Fastnet Race) and I cannot describe how excited I am to be able to start in this year’s edition. But first we will have to managed the 2,088nM to Sydney, where my parents and my brother will celebrate Christmas with me. I am very much looking forward to this family reunion Down Under.
