Sixty foot Sydney yacht Xena rounds the mark in front of the Sydney Opera House on the way to 4th place in the Canon Big Boat Challenge race, a lead up to the Sydney to Hobart race, on Sydney Harbour 15 December 2000. Xena which is one of the favourites finished well behind front runner, 80 foot Shockwave owned by New Zealand businessman Neville Crichton which won the race by the large margin of four minutes, is creating a furore in the sailing world with its size and state of the art technology. Shockwave has firmed to outright favourite for line honours for the Sydney to Hobart race starting on Boxing Day 26 December. AFP PHOTO/William WEST
