Skandia
Grant Wharington's Skandia will start the 21st Sydney Gold Coast as the clear line honours favourite. A two-time line honours winner in this event with his previous boat, Skandia is yet to add this race to her long list of line honours wins.
Having put his revamped Volvo 70 Brunel on a ship to Baltimore Wharington will use the Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race to fine tune the crew before rejoining the Volvo Ocean Race for the start of Leg 6 in April.
Skandia took line honours in the 2003 Rolex Sydney Hobart and finished 3rd over the line last year.
