Freshening conditions are testing the Sydney Gold Coast Race fleet with Cameron Miles’ Sydney 38 Rush the first to withdraw with damage.

At 2030hours this evening, Rush advised they had broken their steering cable and were heading to Port Stephens.

Meanwhile the crew on the Volvo 60 Andrew Short Marine Djuice is now past Seal Rocks and has reported a top wind speed of 35 knots and a top boat speed of 26 knots, putting them and a number of other lead boats well inside the race record of 27 hours 35 minutes 03 seconds set by Brindabella in 1999.
