Sydney Mooloolaba Yacht Race Breaking News
| 20/12/2006 | Tough start for Rolex Sydney Hobart fleet likely |
|
Those seas and wind against current will pose the first major tactical decision for skippers - whether to head offshore to find the northerly current that acts as a sort of conveyor belt south, but at the cost of pounding into steeper, bigger waves which can damage the boat, or to stay inshore where the waves should not be as steep.

For Paul Clitheroe, owner of Balance, he had rolled the dice on Saturday afternoon and took the decision to go wide, with the next roll being when to come back inshore. Offshore, Balance was sailing along quite nicely and maintaining good boat speed before getting caught in the thunderstorms.
"That was one of the most intense thunderstorms I have seen in a long time, said Paul. "The lightening lit up the night sky - but being in the middle of a lightening & thunderstorm with an aluminium mast is something that when it hits - you know that it's one place that you don't want to be and it's paramount to ensure crew safety."
