Alive is making a strong push for the finish, trailing the leader, Andoo Comanche, by 60 nautical miles. Alive leads a pack including URM Group, Moneypenny, and Wild Thing 100, as they navigate past the NSW and Victoria border towards Bass Strait.
Andoo Comanche and LawConnect are engaged in a fierce battle for line honours. Only four nautical miles apart, they are racing down the east coast of Victoria into the Bass Strait. Andoo Comanche, moving at about 19 knots, is still behind her own 2017 race record time.
Incidents and Retirements
SHK Scallywag, a line honours contender, had to retire due to a broken bow sprit after an incident involving Andoo Comanche. This marks the end of Scallywag's participation in future Sydney to Hobart races.
Fleet Overview
Sticky and Maritimo 52 have also retired from the race, citing weather-related damages. The remaining fleet continues to navigate challenging conditions, including a strong south-west front with high winds and lightning.
Silver Fern and Sylph VI (with a cat onboard) are currently at the back of the pack, with Sylph VI being the oldest boat in the race.
