its a pity mate because the yacht you step aboard is doing in excess of 20 knots, the live feed offers you an opportunity or any land lubber across the glob no matter where you are, an opportunity to join the crew of racing a super maxi during daylight hours all the way from Sydney to Hobart, it is now heading down NSW coast so feel free to jump aboard

I love their audio disclaimer... ‘NOTE: THIS IS LIVE FOOTAGE AND MAY CONTAIN INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE.’
Wild Oats XI is leading a pack of four yachts into the home stretch of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race after pulling off a tactical masterstroke before sunrise.
With Comanche, Black Jack and InfoTrack close behind, Wild Oats XI is under full sail and travelling at just under 14 knots as skipper Mark Richards and crew bid to claim line honours for the New South Wales-based team.
However, Black Jack and Comanche, about 5 nautical miles behind the leader, are making good time.
The winner is currently predicted to pass the post about 7:45am (AEDT).
Key points:
There is a group of four yachts vying for line honours champion, all with a realistic chance After taking a more easterly track than the others, Wild Oats XI has pulled ahead coming around Tasman Island The yachts will face the run home up the River Derwent in little or no wind
