A chance for New Zealanders to make their mark on Australian waters in today's Sydney to Hobart yacht race

New Zealand's only boat in the 630-nautical mile race is the Max Klink-skippered Caro, while Kiwi yachtsman Stu Bannatyne is onboard Australian boat Zeus -- who won the handicap prize last year onboard Alive.

Race commentator Peter Shipway says Klink's Caro will be one to watch.



Racing gets underway at 3pm.
