Bondi victims honored as Sydney-Hobart race sets sail

SYDNEY: Skippers of 129 yachts set sail on a “bumpy” Sydney-Hobart ocean race Friday, with many to scatter rose petals for the Bondi Beach shooting victims as they venture into rolling seas. On a cool, grey summer’s day at Sydney Harbor, crowds gathered around the shore or watched from scores of boats as a starting cannon set the fleet on its way for the race’s 80th edition. Crews can expect waves of up to four meters (13 feet) and 25-knot winds on the first day of the 628-nautical-mile race from Sydney to the Tasmanian capital Hobart, a meteorologist warned in a final weather briefing.
