Fifth Sydney-Hobart race line honours for Comanche
The Straits Times
|December 29, 2025
Master Lock Comanche took line honours in the 80th Sydney-Hobart ocean race on Dec 28, ending LawConnect’s bid for a third straight title.
-
It was the fifth line honours victory in the 628-nautical-mile (1,163km) bluewater classic for the 100-foot supermaxi Comanche, which was skippered by Matt Allen and James Mayo.
The yacht crossed the finish line on the River Derwent in Tasmania’s capital Hobart in two days, five hours, three minutes and 36 seconds, greeted by beaming sunshine and hundreds of supporters.
Comanche holds the race record set in its 2017 victory when finishing in one day, nine hours, 15 minutes and 24 seconds. It also won line honours in 2015, 2019 and 2022.
Allen and Mayo navigated a tricky final day as the wind changed to a light northeasterly, the crew having earlier battled strong southerly winds over the first 24 hours after leaving Sydney Harbour on Boxing Day.
