What to Wear at the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race — The PP Wardrobe
The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is one of the three great offshore races in the world — starting on Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day and finishing in Hobart, Tasmania, through the notoriously demanding waters of the Bass Strait.
The Sydney Harbour Boxing Day start. The most visually spectacular moment in offshore sailing — 100,000 spectators line the harbour foreshores, the Opera House and Harbour Bridge as the backdrop. The December 26 Sydney Harbour occasion rewards the most relaxed and most naturally colourful end of the PP wardrobe. A PP linen shirt in a vivid colourway with linen shorts and leather sandals for the harbour foreshore.

— Pieter Petros, founderFor the spectator ferry on Sydney Harbour. Natural swim shorts and a white PP linen shirt; leather deck shoes. The Sydney summer — consistently above 28 degrees on Boxing Day — makes certified Belgian linen the most comfortable natural fabric for sustained outdoor harbour exposure.
For the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia. The CYCA in Rushcutters Bay — the race headquarters, the prize-giving. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the CYCA social occasions.
For the Hobart arrival. The Constitution Dock in Hobart where the fleet finishes — the most celebratory arrival in offshore sailing. A navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the Hobart prize-giving.
