Australia's "Fab Four" will tussle for line honours with Anthony Bell, Syd Fischer and Grant Wharington confirming they will bring their supermaxis back for a rematch with the record-breaker Wild Oats XI. As the four crews swapped tales of where the race was won and lost, what wind shift cost them the most and the frustration of bobbing round in Bass Strait in the 69th race, they were already plotting their comebacks. Bell, one of only two skippers to beat Mark Richards and his Wild Oats team in their nine Sydney to Hobart assaults, confirmed he will be back on the start line for the 70th anniversary race with a "beast" he believes can regain its mantle as the fastest supermaxi in the world. Bell, a relatively new recruit to world ocean racing, firmly believes he has in his hands a piece of machinery that can rule the waves - and stop Wild Oat's claiming a record eighth Sydney to Hobart line honours crown. "For sure we will be back," Bell confirmed as did Wharington and his Wild Thing team and Fischer and his Ragamuffin crew. At least one new supermaxi from overseas, potentially two, are expected to also try and wrestle the crown away from Wild Oats in the anniversary edition. Wild Oats XI has claimed a record-equalling seventh line honours in the 2013 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, arriving in Constitution Harbour in front of a crowd of thousands. Bell's machine, the 100-footer Perpetual Loyal, is the rebuilt Speedboat which when racing as Rambler capsized during the 2011 Fastnet race in the UK. The yacht was regarded as the fastest boat in the world prior to her drama at sea and now she is extensively rebuilt, Bell believes he has a winning machine in his hands if race weather plays ball. "I need to look at the statistics later but I don't know if there has ever been a race so light for the leaders," Bell said of the worst conditions for supermaxi, significantly heavier than its rival Wild Oats. In a traditional Hobart race, this boat really moves. Hopefully, one day we'll have a traditional Hobart race. Perpetual Loyal is a long-term proposition. It's done a lot of work for us, raised a lot of money for charity. That's our prime goal in racing. Wild Oats X1 claimed a record equalling seventh line honours when she covered the 628 nautical mile course in two days, six hours, seven minutes 27 seconds _ well outside her own record set a year ago of just over one day 18 hours. Perpetual Loyal finished three hours and 10 minutes behind Wild Oats with Richards and his team claiming their racing machine will be even faster than she was this year for her next assault. We are still learning about her. There are still more things we can do," he said. Fischer and his team on Ragamuffin, which two years ago won the race when branded Investec Loyal, finished third over the line with the Queensland 70-footer Black Jack fourth, the Hong Kong 80-footer Beau Geste fifth and the New Zealand 70-footer Giacomo sixth.
