Comanche skipper wins Sydney Hobart on "calculated" risk


Listen Later

Supermaxi Comanche takes Line Honours in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. The third for Comanche and the second for the Cooney family.

Having been in a tug of war with fellow competitor Scallywag, Comanche took line honours after having nearly come to a standstill with the finish in sight.

Luke Davis and Julian King spoke with skipper and owner Jim Cooney about his latest win that involved a shaky start and frustrating finish.

Cooney shares that he just wanted to, "show the world what this boat can do," and that a calculated risk to go out wide helped the supermaxi claim the John H Illingworth Challenge Cup.
