It might be Christmas Eve to most people, but to those who are Rolex Sydney Hobart enthusiasts it is Hobart Eve Eve!

Already today we have covered the potential line honours press conference, with most wondering whether we will see another match race up the Derwent, and the compulsory weather and safety briefing which you can watch below.

Our interviews continue for our Boxing Day morning show, I have already spoken to 17 boats right across the fleet of 85 boats, and there are more to come!
