IRC - 75th Sydney-Hobart Race - Sydney AUS - Day 4 - Shark attack !

Meanwhile - Sunday morning UTC - 47 of the 154 boats racing have reached Hobart and a first IRC ranking list has been posted with the TP52 'Ichi Ban' of Matt Allen AUS, 11th elapsed time 12 hours after 'Comanche', on top in calculated time. ----- All ranking lists. ----- A major influence on the finishing sequence had collision of the second-placed 'Scallywag' with a white shark, consequently wrapped around the rudder of the 100-footer. Lowering all sails and backing the boat up got the dead shark finally off the rudder. The miles lost with this incident cost them running second. David Witt AUS finished 4th. ----- The report. ----- More news are available on the event website.
