Leg 2 of the Around Australia Yacht Race sees competitors set sail from Melbourne across the often tempestuous waters of Bass Strait, racing south toward the rugged coastlines of Tasmania with an epic finish in Hobart. This leg is a true test of seamanship and boat performance, challenging sailors with unpredictable weather systems, Sail management and fast-running currents. Eligible classes include the nimble JL40, the performance-focused Aero 40.1, the competitive J/112E, the versatile Sailaway Cruiser 38, and the adventurous 5.80 Five Eighty—each bringing its own flavor to this iconic offshore stretch.
