Thirty hours into the 74th edition of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, the four 100-ft Maxis at the front of the fleet were separated by a mere five-nautical miles with a little under 200-nautical miles still to complete. A close contest between the race leaders has ensued ever since yesterday’s memorable Sydney Harbour start. Although the race record is unlikely to be challenged, an exciting finale down the Derwent River into Hobart is forecast. There had been four retirements and the majority of the 81-strong fleet were negotiating the Bass Strait. Rolex has been Title Sponsor of the 628-nm race, organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia with the collaboration of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, since 2002.

*Please Note : This video was shot towards the end of production so not everything shown in the video has been finished to Columbia Yachts usual high standard. "Columbia Yachts has developed a lifting drive system for the Columbia Carbon 32. The system features a 3-blade fixed prop connected to a Yanma diesel inboard engine. The drive system retracts completely into the hull and is completely water tight and isolated from the interior of the boat. The advantage of this system is that it reduces drag making the boat faster."

We got a tear in the mainsail along the luff. You don't want to let these get away from you for too long or they start to open up even more, so I did a "temporary" patch on it before going back up the rugged coast of central California.
