A historic moment as Sidewinder, co-skippered by Rob Gough and John Saul, is the first two-handed boat across the line in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
💬"We just went out and had fun."
Act 1of this race is drawing to its climax. Comanche has rounded Tasman Island, 41 nm from Hobart and expects tp be here at 2100. Wild Oats XI is just two miles behind. This is still anyone’s race.
Philip Turner's Reichel/Pugh 66, Alive, retired from the 2021 Rolex Sydney Hobart earlier this morning due to hull damage.
Alive issued a Pan-Pan after taking on some water, but didn't require assistance and all crew on board are confirmed to be ok.
