MELBOURNE, Dec 28 - Master Lock Comanche took line honours in the Sydney to Hobart race on Sunday after pulling clear of a three-way tussle with supermaxis LawConnect and HSK Scallywag 100.

The Matt Allen- and James Mayo-owned Comanche finished in two days, five hours, three minutes and 36 seconds, a year after being forced to retire in the blue-water classic due to mainsail damage.
