Comanche went on to place second in the offshore classic after leading during the fresh conditions that prevailed until the morning of the second day, when lighter airs prevailed and she paid the penalty for her added wetted surface, compared to narrower beamed Wild Oats XI.
Comanche is suited with North Sails and spars from Southern Spars.
All five supermaxis in the Rolex Sydney Hobart carry rigs from Southern Spars with ECsix rigging.
