| Rolex Sydney Hobart Race - Nicorette retires from Rolex Sydney Hobart |
| AUSTRALIA, BASS STRAIT 00:44 AM-(28-12-2003) Just after midnight tonight (28 December), Ludde Ingvall, skipper of line honours contender Nicorette, advised race control that the boat had retired from the race. He advised that welds in supporting brackets on each side of the canting keel had cracked, causing damage to the adjacent carbon fibre hull structure, and that having regard to the continuing rough seas expected across the balance of Bass Strait the prudent course was to turn the boat around and head back to Eden. Nicorette expects to be in Eden by midday on 28 December.
