Sydney Hobart: looking at boats we know...

Looks like Wild Oats XI may pull off the Line Honours - Handicap double.  As well as their new race record, of course, for the Treble..

Some others we're following:

In IRC 2:  Chutzpah, an IRC40 owned by Bruce Taylor, father of HK's Ambush Drew Taylor is lying 3d, with 234 miles to go (DTG). Veloce, an Elliott 44CR, with Bicky and G aboard, are lying 5th, with 237 DTG.  Toybox 2 is a new Xp 44, lying 6th with 265 DTG.

In IRC 3: two previous crew of Xena -- and owners of Sydney 38s -- are battling it out: Tony Levett in TSA Management is 7th (271 DTG) and Gordon Ketelby in Zen is 8th (277 DTG).

In PHS: Brindabella, a boat I cruised on a couple of times years back, and used to be owned by old mate George Snow, is lying first in this division, with 128 DTG.  Challenged by Helsal III.
