Peter and Grace Shipway have sat down on Nine's Wide World of Sports to talk about their Love & War connections, in a video released by the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race as the build-up to the 2026 race gathers pace.

The race organisers describe the piece as the father-daughter duo discussing the Love & War connections. The video was posted on 12 October 2026, with the 2026 Rolex Sydney Hobart due to start on Boxing Day, 26 December.

Watching the start from The Jackson

For those who would rather see the fleet leave Sydney Harbour from the water, The Jackson is the Official Spectator Boat. Race organisers bill it as Sydney's most luxurious charter superyacht and the only public spectator vessel positioned inside the Exclusion Zone for the start of the Hobart.

Tickets include:

  • A 4-hour Boxing Day cruise on the Main Deck, within Sydney Harbour
  • Canapés and substantial snacks throughout the day
  • Premium beverages: beer, wine, sparkling, soft drinks, juice and non-alcoholic options
  • Live commentary of the start
  • A 5-metre LED screen streaming Channel Nine's live telecast
  • Departure and return from King Street Wharf 1
  • An optional complimentary Fast Ferry transfer to the CYCA on return
