Southerly slows remaining crews

Blow slows final 10

A southerly has slowed the fleet, with the final 10 boats now, aside from Kevin Whelan's Reve, due to return by lunchtime Sunday.

The southerly came in overnight as expected as is expected to last until the middle of the day when it will swing to an east-noreaster at 10-15 knots.

The race for those who haven't finished has now become one of attrition, with Dare Devil retiring due to time constraints.

The full list of retirements at present is:

Black Jack - retired - crew injury
Dare Devil - Retired-crew time constraints
Enigma - retired - crew injury
Noahs II - retired - gear failure
Sticky - retired - broken lifeline
Winning Appliances - retired - gear breakage
Yarrandi - retired - steering damage

Expected finishing times for boats, based on their speeds, has slowed from in the wee hours of Sunday until mid-to-late morning.
