    A battle of the supermaxi yachts is expected to be on the cards in today's Sydney to Hobart yacht race

    A battle of the supermaxi yachts is expected to be on the cards in today's Sydney to Hobart yacht race


    Master Lock Comanche will be out to wrestle line honours from 2023 winners LawConnect, as it also looks at beating the record time of one day, nine hours on the 630-nautical mile journey.

    Race commentator Peter Shipway says LawConnect will push Master Lock Comanche hard, but the latter is favoured at this stage.



    Racing gets underway at 3pm.
