Alfa for Hobart '09 - plus five more 100 footers?

In the lead story on the TransPac website published a couple of hours ago:

"Crichton, looking forward to the Sydney Hobart Race said, "There will be six 100-footers in the race. Five are certainly are capable of winning the race." "

Is this confirmation that Alfa is in for '09? (The grudge re-match with Wild Oats XI we've all been waiting for!)

AND - "six 100-footers" ???

If true, this is going to be one to remember. :D

WOW that would be awsome, some more competition at the boring end - which one wouldn't be capable?Is it a dig at Wild Oats?

It's probably a dig at Scandia/WT.

If history is a guide, all but one 100 footer (WO) wouldn't be capable!

if all these boats turn up and speedboat doesn't it's owner should be relieved of her and ahe should b donated 2 SA and tour the world so all of us can sail her

Meanwhile, 80% of the fleet, spending considerably more time on the racetrack, will be ignored by the media.
So what's new? We just have to get used to it sadly.
Maybe we need an annual Sailing Anarchy Sydney-Hobart Race 'Media Slut' Award.

Neville has obviously run out to an early lead, but the other contenders will catch up.

We all know who the usual suspects are.

Maximus? Really? I thought that she had been scrapped for parts after all the technical problems and disapointing results that they had. Nice to hear that the boat is making a comeback. And hopefully a succesful one at that.

The boat that neville was referring to is zana, I was talking to him about it and he just doesn't think it is capable of competing with the newer boats, which is completely correct
