The Sydney to Hobart yacht race in Australia starts on Boxing Day.
They say this is their 62nd year, so it must have orginated around 1945. ---- The first race was held on 26 December 1945, and included nine starters.
I am quite sure it finishs in Hobart because i common sense and a little research i did. I just now happened to be looking at the same question.
It appears that the date has yet to be confirmed, but as of now, it's due to start between 26 Dec 2008 and 01 Jan 2009. ---- For future reference, the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race always starts on Boxing Day, the day after Christmas, every year.
Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron was created in 1862.
