The 1994 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, sponsored by Kodak Gold, was the 50th annual running of the "blue water classic" Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. As in past editions of the race, it was hosted by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia based in Sydney, New South Wales. As with previous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Races, the 1994 edition began on Sydney Harbour, at noon on Boxing Day (26 December 1994), before heading south for 630 nautical miles (1,170 km) through the Tasman Sea, past Bass Strait, into Storm Bay and up the River Derwent, to cross the finish line in Hobart, Tasmania.
The 1994 fleet comprised 371 starters of which 308 completed the race and 63 yachts retired.
