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 1995 edition began on Sydney Harbour, at noon on Boxing Day (26 December 1995), 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 1995 fleet comprised 98 starters of which 92 completed the race and 6 yachts retired.
