Leg 1 · Sun, 31.01. · Embarkation

Auckland

Yachts taking up positions at the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race

Auckland is New Zealand's largest city on a narrow isthmus between the natural harbours of Waitemata and Manukau on the North Island. The nickname City of Sails comes from the fact that the city has more boats per capita than any other city in the world, built on 53 extinct volcanoes.

Leg 2 · Mon, 01.02.

Tauranga

Tauranga sits on the Bay of Plenty on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island and is one of the country's most important cargo harbours. Just offshore rises the volcanic Mauao above Mount Maunganui beach.

Leg 3 · Tue, 02.02.

Gisborne

Gisborne lies on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island on Poverty Bay. The city is among the first to see the sunrise each day.

Leg 4 · Wed, 03.02.

Napier

On Hawke's Bay on the east coast of New Zealand's North Island lies Napier on the Pacific in a region shaped by vineyards and orchards. Following a major earthquake in 1931 the entire town centre was rebuilt in Art Deco style, making it today one of the most complete Art Deco ensembles in the world.

Leg 5 · Thu, 04.02.

Wellington

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand, at the southern tip of the North Island on the windswept Cook Strait. As the world's southernmost capital, it combines steep hills, a lively waterfront and the Te Papa national museum.

Leg 6 · Sat, 06.02.

Dunedin (Port Chalmers)

Dunedin lies on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, with the deep-water Port Chalmers on Otago Harbour serving as its cruise port. Popular rail excursions from Dunedin run through the Taieri Gorge, and on the Port Chalmers pier stands a statue of Scott of the Antarctic, who set sail from here on the Terra Nova expedition in 1910.

Leg 7 · Sun, 07.02.

Stewart Island

South of New Zealand's South Island, Stewart Island stretches across the Foveaux Strait as the country's third-largest island. Much of the island forms Rakiura National Park, home to wild kiwi.

Leg 8 · Mon, 08.02.

Doubtful Sound / Milford Sound

Doubtful Sound is a remote fjord in Fiordland National Park in the south-west of New Zealand's South Island. It is three times longer and roughly ten times more extensive than the better-known Milford Sound and therefore noticeably quieter; a resident pod of bottlenose dolphins and fur seals inhabit its mouth on the Tasman Sea.

Leg 9 · Thu, 11.02.

Hobart

On the Derwent River on the Australian island of Tasmania lies Hobart as its capital beneath 1,271-metre Mount Wellington. Australia's second-oldest capital serves as the gateway port for Antarctic expeditions and hosts the spectacular MONA museum with the Southern Hemisphere's largest private collection of modern art.

Leg 10 · Sat, 13.02.

Eden

Eden lies on Twofold Bay on the Sapphire Coast in the south of the Australian state of New South Wales. The former whaling town's Eden Killer Whale Museum commemorates the unique partnership between local whalers and an orca pod led by Old Tom, whose skeleton is on display there.

Leg 11 · Sun, 14.02. · Disembarkation

Sydney

Yachts taking up positions at the start of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race

Australia's largest city lies on one of the world's most beautiful natural harbours, dominated by the Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. The Rocks and Darling Harbour districts, the beaches of Bondi and Manly, and the Royal Botanic Garden are the central highlights.
