Sydney to Hobart 2020: Cruising Yacht Club of Australia commodore Noel Cornish explains why race couldn’t have return leg – Sydney Morning Herald
While millions of dollars have been lost getting the supermaxis prepared for the famous race, the cancellation has been widely accepted by the fleets.
“If somebody was to get hurt on a boat then they would require Tasmanian citizens to provide assistance … some sort of rescue organisation would need to come out and assist the boat and depending on what the issue was we might need to transfer crew into Tasmania.
“We just felt that that was an exposure to Tasmania.”
Cornish said organisers also considered postponing the race until early next year, but ultimately found it difficult to predict when it could eventually go ahead.
