Black Jack missed a chance to compete against LawConnect and SHK Scallywag 100 in the inaugural Australian maxi championship earlier this month because a crew member tested positive for COVID-19. The closest links to a Sydney Hobart line honours victory were Black Jack and LawConnect. "We’re clearly the underdog now right?" said Black Jack 100 skipper Mark Bradford after Tuesday’s race.

"We’re very glad that they (Black Jack 100) were able to get the boat back from Europe," acting InfoTrack skipper Tony Mutter said following Tuesday’s race. COVID forced a change of plans and the former Queensland-based boat decided in mid-year to return to Australia for the 2020 Hobart race. The two-handed J/99 Rum Rebellion, co-skippered by owner Shane Connelly and Tony Sutton, won IRC Division 2, ahead of another www.qld.gov.au two-hander, Transcendence Crento (Martin Cross and John Cross), and Carl Crafoord’s Cookson 12 Sail Exchange.

After crossing the line off Hobart’s Constitution Dock, the finish cannon blasted and the crew erupted into a celebratory chorus line of cheers, hugs and pats on the back on deck. Black Jack’s victory dropped the curtain on what had been a gripping tussle between the three 100 footers in the race. The others two were Christian Beck’s LawConnect and Seng Huang Lee’s SHK Scallywag 100 which were left to fight it out for second and third places.

InfoTrack has beaten rival Black Jack 100 for the second time in a few days, with the acting skipper of the victorious boat revealing how close this year’s Sydney Hobart came to not having any supermaxis in the fleet. Introducing the amazing new Centurion hitch by Black Jack — super good looking, lightweight, and featuring sleek lines. The Centurion is Australia’s lightest adjustable hitch and is fully compatible with a DO35 coupling.

At last month’s race launch, InfoTrack owner Christian Beck declared his boat was the underdog of the two supermaxis. "Once we could get outside and stretch our legs a bit, our boat is just totally moded for those conditions," Bradford said. The lighter conditions endured by the rest of the fleet on Saturday afternoon and evening ensured the maxi also claimed the overall win (IRC), as well as victory on ORCi and PHS handicaps. A fleet of 55 boats started the race at 1000hrs on Saturday, with a light 6-8 knot nor’easter making it a rather slow procession out of Sydney Harbour.

For Black Jack, built to withstand the Rolex Sydney Hobart, the conditions were not unusual, nor were her knot peak speeds. The forecast for some time had been showing the westerly mistral blowing, with a severe accompanying sea. Competitors were expecting to feel the brunt of this between L’Escalet and on past Giraglia.

The four supermaxis — Black Jack, Wild Oats XI, LDV Comanche and InfoTrack — headline a fleet of 107 yachts which will race south in the 73rd Sydney to Hobart. “We’ve won every race on the east coast of Australia and we’ve beaten every other yacht on the east coast of Australia at different times. LawConnect, when owned by Anthony Bell and named Perpetual Loyal, won in 2016 when it also broke the race record in 1 day 13 hours 31 minutes 20 seconds.

Black Jack, originally known as Alfa Romeo II, was originally built in 2005 for Sydney-based businessman Neville Chriton.

“In fact we were up with the record until about eight miles out from the finish,” continued le Brun. However, as usual, off Genoa the wind went flukey and turned on the nose, which Bradford reckoned cost them 30 minutes. The gybe-free broad reach to the Giraglia rock was epic for all involved with several boats notching up record speeds.
