Quiet Little Drink | Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race | Sydney Race Village Event

With the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race just around the corner, it's time for a Quiet Little Drink.

Come down to the Sydney Village for an evening celebrating the sailors heading south this Boxing Day, especially those reaching a special milestone:

• Sydney Hobart first-timers

• YSA alumni taking on their first race

• Women sailors reaching their 10-race milestone

• Crew members marking their 25th race

Your host and MC for the evening is David Kellett AM, who will help us honour this year's milestone sailors. Stay for a presentation celebrating the fleet and crews and relax for a Quiet Little Drink as the suspense builds for the start of the Sydney Hobart.

Tickets: $30pp

Your ticket includes a drink on arrival and a selection of chef-prepared nibbles. A food station and drinks will also be available to purchase throughout the evening.
