- The big three continue to battle for Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, Line Honours
At 11:00 hrs (UK) Tuesday morning Peter Harburg’s Black Jack has a lead of 11 nautical miles over Christian Beck’s LawConnect, and a further four nautical miles from the David Witt-skippered SHK Scallywag.
But that could all drastically change on the Derwent River, which Sydney Hobart history has shown does happen to the frustration of all.
Even fourth placed 80-footer Stefan Racing, skippered by co-owner Grant Wharington, could feature if the wind shuts-down as the leaders enter the final stage.
Sidewinder of Rob Gough and John Saul leads the 2-Handed Line Honours from Disko Trooper Contender Sailcloth of Jules Hall and Jan Scholten, with 292nm to sail.
With 170nm to sail, Craig Neil’s Quest now leads the Fully Crewed IRC fleet with a tight pack, comprising Celestial and Smuggler, led by Matt Allen’s Ichi Ban, nipping at their heels.
