Over the last few days we've been watching and re-watching the start of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Race. Comanche, the 100-foot racing machine helmed by Ken Read, won line honors, with Annapolis resident Jon von Schwarz onboard as a winch specialist.
A year ago, photographer Onne van der Waal shot a video of what it takes to put together a boat like Comanche. "From the first layers of carbon being layed in, to the hull at Hodgdon's Yard in Maine, to her first offshore passage from Newport to Charleston, SC, Ken Read tells the Comanche story." Check it out.
