Fatal 2024 Sydney to Hobart | Gale Force Winds, 30 Retired Yachts (Full Race Documentary)
February 07, 2025 by Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama | Language: EN Play Time: 01:10:26 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
My Mum and I have set off double-handed on one of the world’s toughest and most prestigious yacht races, the 2024 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. This year’s 628 nautical mile ocean race was met with tragedy as the fleet sailed into gale-force winds. Two sailors’ lives were lost, three boats were dismasted, and another sailor washed overboard. This race proves to be the most disastrous outcome since the tragic 1998 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. This documentary follows life from the rails and aboard Fika as we sail from Sydney to Hobart.

Slim & Soph - Sailing Nakama
Welcome aboard SV Nakama, We are Slim & Soph a young Aussie couple tryna get by living aboard our tiny retro sailboat with our cat Chilli. We sail the Australian coastline whilst attending university online and take you with us. After putting study on the back burner for years as we didn’t want to sacrifice adventure, we thought why not have both? Fed up with the outrageous rental prices in our hometown, the idea of doing it afloat came to mind. We figured we could scrape by on our tight student budget if we stopped paying way too much rent and lived minimally on the ocean, whilst continuing our passion for adventure. The plan for now, is to keep sailing onwards, keeping Australia to our left and once we're done doing that...Who knows. Our mission is to prove that anyone can do it, you don’t need the fanciest boat or a squillion bucks, just a whole lot of ambition and a willingness to make mistakes and learn. So join us on this whacky adventure! Slim & Soph xoxo
