New South Wales Police Superintendent Joe McNulty gives an update on the two sailors who were killed in the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
It is understood both deaths were a result of the sailors being struck on the head by the boom.
βIt is a tragic accident,β Mr McNulty said.

Thank you so much for the brave rescuers.
Why is it that those "headkickers" and generally unpleasant police officers all manipulate their service issue caps to look like they have been around the block?
"from the peril on the sea". A race that challenges vessel and life. Thinking of the families and friends. M.
Cancel this whole event once and for all. It's only for a bunch of exclusive, wealthy elites. It has no social or cultural value.
Maybe raise the boom clearance to above head height.
Who cares
since when do they spell out their names ??? is this a woke, lefty bit of bullshit???
Aw well itβs a sad day in amongst all the rich people
Condolence to all concerned.
Do these emergency services staff not get paid a composite on their salaries for working nights public holidays etc?
Yes itβs unfortunate, but every sailor knows how dangerous a loose boom can be.
Rich white people problems
unnecessary race.
yachting will be banned now this is Australia
and chris bowen wanted $10 billion wind turbines out there, God I hope labor looses the next election
DEI was being considered for this event, did it go ahead this year, or is it still on the to do list?
Tragic.. What a tough job for the crew.. Condolences to the families and friends, if anything can be learnt it's to be more cognisant of boom pathways and associated ropes trajectories in the future when large wind shifts occur..
Very sad. I assume northerlies, uncontrolled gybes.
A very sad day…πππ
Helmets helmets helmets helmets helmets!!!!!!
Many comments below want this race shutdown forever. Now do you see why the thumbs down counters are hidden? All we see is a few thumbs up but not the other side of mostly thumbs down. Do you realise a narrative's being built against Australian history & culture?
One Country, One Law!
1 death in practice session. 2 dead now. This is like ilse of Mann tt with death counts.
They were unalived
Roy was under investigation
Suspect
Person of interest
Dead men don't talk
I find it interesting that the media show so much interest in the deaths of these 2 men. The MSM, the Gov, women or even Albo himself cares not for the number of men who suicide, die at work, are murdered or who simply die younger than women on average, and ignore international mens day. To Albo all men are to be blamed for the National Domestic violence crisis. So again I find it interesting that the MSM show so much concern for these 2 men who otherwise would be viewed as part of problem in the national Domestic violence crisis.
"male person" = man
That's rough, to have to get up and deliver that news. Sad occurrences.

Yeah definitely no good ! Does the law apply to Sydney to Hobart captain s?
If this was a 4×4 event the tracks would be closed and the event would be cancelled never to happen again.
The same thing should happen here!
Stop this event.
As we are told itβs all about saving lives!
Unless itβs a vaccine then we will just cover it all up, and continue promoting them.
