    Three supermaxis entered for Sydney to Hobart but last year's first two boats yet to commit

    Three supermaxis have already entered for this year's Sydney to Hobart but last year's first two boats across the line have yet to commit to the 2018 race


    With 99 days to go to the race, 48 entries had already submitted.

    The list includes supermaxis Black Jack, InfoTrack and Scallywag.

    Not on the list are Comanche and Wild Oats XI , who initially finished second and first across the line, respectively, in last year's race.

    Their positions were reversed after an international jury upheld a protest from Comanche following a near collision between the two supermaxis on Sydney Harbour shortly after the race start on Boxing Day.

    It's believed Comanche will be back for this year's race and eight-time line honours winner Wild Oats XI could also return.
