    Partita la 71a edizione della Rolex Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race Maserati e Giovanni Soldini in quarta posizione Otto barche ritirate, tra cui Wild Oats XI e Comanche Tra qualche ora il passaggio di un fronte con venti da sud tra i 30 e i 40 nodi Comunicato stampa n. 5 – 26 dicembre 2015 Rolex Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race È stato il suono di un corno lanciato dal Cruising Yacht Boat australiano a dare il via alle 13.00 in punto locali (le 2.00 GMT, le 3.00 in Italia) alla 71a edizione della Rolex Sydney- Hobart Yacht Race. In una giornata nuvolosa, con venti da est, nordest tra i 15 e i 20 nodi, le 108 imbarcazioni partecipanti si sono schierate secondo tre linee di partenza, pronte ad affrontare le difficili 628 miglia nautiche che separano il porto australiano dalla capitale della Tasmania e che prevedono il passaggio dal famigerato Stretto di Bass. Maserati è partita sulla prima linea, insieme alle barche più grandi. I super maxi hanno preso immediatamente il comando: in prima posizione Comanche, seguito da Wild Oats XI, Rambler, Ragamuffin 100, Black Jack. Poi la situazione è cambiata velocemente. Sono infatti otto le imbarcazioni che si sono ritirate per incidenti o rotture, tra cui Comanche e Wild Oats XI. Dopo essere rimasta per qualche ora in nona posizione, Maserati ha recuperato e naviga attualmente al quarto posto dietro a Rambler, Ragamaffin 100 e Perpetual Loyal. Per Maserati è stata una partenza avventurosa. Subito dopo lo start il VOR 70 italiano ha agganciato nella chiglia tre boe di delimitazione della zona di navigazione per il pubblico.

    FREE FATAL STORM: THE INSIDE STORY OF THE TRAGIC SYDNEY TO HOBART RACE PDF Robert Mundle | 384 pages | 28 Jan 2009 | Bloomsbury Publishing PLC | 9781408107003 | English | London, United Kingdom Fatal Storm: The Inside Story of the Tragic Sydney-Hobart Race by Rob Mundle When global property magnate and mad keen sailor Peter Harburg talks about the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, he does so with an eye to gaining a competitive advantage for his foot super maxi, Black Jack. It seems nothing will stand in the way of Harburg winning an ocean race that he says is definitely, by far, the toughest in the world. His inspiration is the legendary British designer, inventor, engineer and founder of Lotus Cars, Colin Chapman. Chapman used aeronautical engineering techniques in the s, '60s and '70s to make his cars lighter and faster than his competitors'. He struck a fine balance between having the cutting-edge technology to outpace others and the strength to finish each race in one piece. A similar strategy is used by other ft super maxi owners. InBeck modified the boat's water ballast, installed new winch motors, added a J Zero off the bowsprit and a whisker pole. He bought the boat in from celebrity accountant Anthony Bell, who sailed it under the name Perpetual Loyal. InfoTrack came fourth. Matt Allenthe former UBS investment banker who won the race in in his super maxi Ichi Ban, says the challenging racing conditions in the Sydney to Hobart have a lot to do with the current that runs down the east coast of Australia in summer at about 3 to 5 knots.
