Two sailors tragically died in separate incidents during the 2024 Sydney to Hobart race amidst severe weather conditions.

Two sailors died during the 2024 Sydney to Hobart race in separate incidents.

The NSW Police confirmed that both fatalities occurred early Friday morning as severe weather impacted the race along the NSW south coast.

The race committee reported that both sailors were struck by a sail boom. This marks the first fatalities in the race since six sailors died during the 1998 race.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed condolences on social media, emphasising the heartbreak of losing lives during such a cherished event.

The first incident involved a crew member from the yacht Flying Fish Arctos, which occurred approximately 30 nautical miles east of Ulladulla. CPR efforts failed to revive the individual after being struck.

The second tragedy took place around 2.15am, involving a crew member on the yacht Bowline, who was also struck by a sail boom east of Bateman’s Bay. Unfortunately, CPR was unsuccessful in this case as well.

As of early morning, 12 out of 104 vessels in the race had retired, leaving 92 boats still competing in the 628-nautical mile race.

The conditions were predicted to be dangerous, with winds up to 35 knots and substantial waves expected.

Commentators noted the event’s chaotic nature, with race leader Comanche retiring due to mainsail damage.

The focus now remains on the crews and families affected by these tragic incidents. Race control has indicated further details will be released once family members have been notified.
