Two of the top contenders have been battling it out overnight for top spot in this year’s Sydney to Hobart Race.
Comanche was this morning back on top as the race leader, closely followed by Wild Oats XI.
Black Jack was travelling in third, closely followed by InfoTrack.
Yesterday, Black Jack was the first out of Sydney Heads, but its lead was short-lived.
Comanche took over and was ahead for most of day one down the NSW south coast, but was overtaken by Wild Oats XI overnight.
It regained its position this morning.
