Master Lock Comanche wins Sydney-Hobart ocean race for fifth time

It was the fifth line honours victory in the 628-nautical-mile 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. Comanche also won line honours in 2015, 2019 and 2022.
