http://www.boatson.tv Mark Richards steered Wild Oats XI to a quick exit out of Sydney Harbour in the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia's Audi Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race, which started at 1.00pm Sydney time today. Richards timed the start perfectly, opting for the boat end on the western side of the Harbour. The crew on the Bob Oatley owned yacht unfurled the Code Zero as start signal sounded, sending the 63-boat fleet on its way north -- as a ferry split the fleet, carving its way through the start line mid-start. The Mark Bradford helmed RP66, Black Jack, owned by Peter Harburg from Queensland, was on the tail of Wild Oats XI, but the 100ft leader accelerated down Sydney Harbour, leaving the rest in her wake, exiting Sydney Heads in approximately six and a half minutes, as she headed offshore. "The view looking back was quite something with all the spinnakers," navigator Adrienne Cahalan said from the lead yacht.
