Black Jack has taken out line honours for the 2021 Sydney to Hobart as battering conditions saw the slowest race to the finish line since 2004.
The 100-foot yacht, skipper by Mark Bradford, arrived at Constitution Dock around 1.30am AEDT and crossed the finish line after 2 days, 12 hours and 37 minutes.
Black Jack led the depleting pack for the majority of the race but was beaten out of the headlands by super yacht rival Scallywag. LawConnect, which was locked in a fierce battle with Black Jack throughout the last two days, is set to enter Constitution Dock in second place, with Scallywag in third.
