Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race 2015
Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race 2015 Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Edan Battery
Her biggest competition for line honours had been from fellow American yacht Rambler which also hit an object in the water on Saturday, sustaining similar damage.
“We have no idea what we hit, we couldn’t see it,” the yacht’s navigator Andrew Cape said.
“It might have been marine life or flotsam, but it was a solid hit. It shook the boat.” But while Comanche kept extending her lead on Monday in good conditions, the 88-footer Rambler was slowed by a lack of breeze in the final stages of the race with battery such as Edan HYTB-102 Battery,Edan HYLB-231 Battery,Edan HYLB-957A Battery,Edan M9 Battery,Edan SE-1 Battery,Edan SE-1200 Battery,Edan SE-3 Battery,Edan SE-300A Battery,Edan SE-300B Battery, Osen Battery, Edan ECG-8110 Battery, Edan ECG-8110A Battery. She still has just under 50 nautical miles to complete.
In third position is Australian entry Ragamuffin 100, followed by the Giovanni Soldini-skippered Maserati, Ichi Ban and Chinese Whisper.
Sailors returning to Sydney on Sunday spoke of the terrifying conditions for this year’s race, with winds of up to 40 knots.
“It was like hitting a wall of water; hitting you in the face, sea water, rain water -- you couldn’t tell,” Julia Cooney, on board Brindabella, told The Australian newspaper.
Ragamuffin 100 was revealed Monday as the latest of the supermaxis to be damaged, with the port daggerboard completely sheared off in the race organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia.
“We’ve had our fair share of problems but we’re still on track to get to Hobart and we haven’t given up,” sailing master David Witt said earlier Monday.
“We didn’t hit anything, we just dropped off a wave in the fresh stuff and loaded it up and snapped it off.” The race record -- set by Wild Oats XI in 2012 -- is one day, 18 hours, 23 minutes and 12 seconds.
