Black Jack Is The One Out Of Bluewater Classic Race Sydney Harbour

Black Jack, the Australian super-maxi was the first one claiming to take the lead in the 74th edition of yacht race Blue-water classic. The race started on Wednesday between Sydney to Hobart. The skipper of Black Jack, Mark Bradford took the benefit of a drop and breeze shift when the leading yachts came near to harbour entrance, with Wild Oats XI race favourite virtually stuck after it gets stuck at the channel eastern end.

Mark Richards, who is skipper of Wild Oats XI, made the early lead the beginning of the race but, then Black Jack overhaul it ahead of the first turning mark. The Infotrack became the second to touch the mark, which was very close to Black Jack. Vessel Wild Oats was on the fourth position and Scallywag is the fifth super-maxis to take the turn in the race.
