The leading yachts that have emerged from the harbor are going to be greeted with light 10-15 knots wind that is going to turn north-north-easterly. It will build 15-25 knot by the end of the first night as said by the Bureau of Meteorology.

5 super maxis are known to be in contention for the line in this present year, Info Track, Wild Oats XI, Comanche, Black Jack, and Scallywag.
