Defending champion Alive, has become the first casualty of the 2024 race, withdrawing because of engine issues.

The Tasmanian boat, owned by Phillip Turner and skippered by Duncan Hine, won the 2018 and then repeated the feat in 2023.

The boat withdrew shortly after 1600hrs and is in Port.

Martin Cross' Transcendence Rudy Project, Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300, has also retired and is still at sea. Martin was sailing with his son John when they were dismasted.
