LawConnect is challenging reigning Sydney to Hobart line honours champion Andoo Comanche in what appears a race in two to reach Constitution Dock the fastest.
Super maxis Andoo Comanche and LawConnect dueled for the lead on Wednesday as the pair of 100-foot yachts separated themselves from the rest of the Sydney to Hobart fleet. Wild weather on the first night ended any hopes of a race record and eight of 103 starting boats had withdrawn 24 hours into the race. Reigning line honors champion Comanche was exchanging the lead with LawConnect, runner-up at the past three events, as the pair crossed Bass Strait.
The race is back on Seven network this Boxing Day, for the first time since 2019.
