 | | With barely a week to go to the start of the Sydney-to-Hobart race, the leading contender, Grundig, is laid up in a boatyard at Berrys Bay, looking "just like a bomb's hit it", says its skipper and owner, Sean Langman. |
 | | So, this week it has been back to the drawing board, back to the boatyard, for a $250,000 rush re-fit that includes the removal of experimental bow hydrofoils, the installation of new ballast tanks and, most critical, the replacement of rudders. |
