Rolex Sydney Hobart 2016- Start Images by Bow Caddy Media

CQS is forced to tack and gets caught with her canting keel on the wrong side when the engine stalls Crosbie Lorimer http://www.crosbielorimer.com
It was all action from the gun on Sydney Harbour today, with Wild Oats XI being forced into the longest port tack dip imaginable, CQS getting laid on her side when forced to tack and stalling the engine that drives her keel ram, and almost all of the leaders struggling with furling issues as they rounded the seaward mark and set their A sails.

Crosbie Lorimer of Bow Caddy Media joined the action - including the annual washing machine outside the Heads - to capture these images.
