Two die in Sydney to Hobart yacht race

Two people taking part in Australia’s annual Sydney to Hobart yacht race have died in separate incidents, according to police.

Both crew members died in separate incidents after being hit by a boom – the large pole attached horizontally to the bottom of a sail.

The event’s organisers said the incidents happened on the Flying Fish Arctos and Bowline.

The first boats are expected to arrive in the city of Hobart, in Tasmania, later on Friday or early on Saturday. Several have already retired due to bad weather
