A 100-foot wall of water turned a yacht race into a rescue mission
The 1998 Sydney to Hobart race became a disaster when crews sailed into 90-knot winds and waves estimated at 100 feet high. Of 115 yachts, five sank, seven were abandoned, and only 44 reached the finish. The storm triggered Australia’s largest peacetime rescue operation and left six sailors dead.
