    Comanche  has tuned up for the Sydney-to-Hobart yacht race starting a fortnight tomorrow with a line honours victory in the Big Boat Challenge on Sydney Harbour

    Comanche has tuned up for the Sydney-to-Hobart yacht race starting a fortnight tomorrow with a line honours victory in the Big Boat Challenge on Sydney Harbour


    Under new skippers this year, the 100 foot super maxi led throughout the two laps from Point Piper to Manly.

    Comanche crossed the finish line off Fort Denison 55 minutes, 16 seconds after the starting gun but only 54 seconds before second-placed LawConnect, which upset Comanche to finish last year's Hobart run first.
