Comanche leads the way on day one of Sydney to Hobart, as it happened

Two-time line honours winner Comanche has got the jump on arch-rival Wild Oats XI on the opening afternoon of this year's Sydney to Hobart yacht race.

This year's race, the 75th edition, got off to a fine start on Sydney Harbour, with InfoTrack leading before stronger winds pushed Comanche to the front.

A couple of dozen yachts in the fleet of 157 are ahead of Comanche's 2017 race record, but predicted lighter winds this evening are expected to change the race.

Look back on the action, as it happened.
