Two deaths in Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race 2024

 


Sydney to Hobart Yacht race competitors Flying Fish Arctos and Bowline each lost a crew member after being struck by booms in heavy weather around 3am.  CPR proved unsuccessful and both men could not be saved.

Another person went overboard on the Poco Russo and was swept about 1.2 nautical miles from their boat, but was successfully retrieved “well and healthy”.
