The sole source I have been able to locate on this news article is the Herald Sun (the article itself is written by a Telegraph reporter), but it is being alleged that Line Honours Hopeful Wild Thing has been asked for additional documentation to prove the seaworthiness of the changes they have made to the boat for this year's race. I'm sure this will turn out to be a storm in a teacup but if not it could prevent Wild Thing from taking their place on the starting line this year:
Grant Wharington asked to present extra documentation for Wild Thing on eve of race
More on this and other news as the day progresses...
UPDATE: Many more major sources have now confirmed this. Hopefully it turns out to be a non-event and we can see what Wild Thing has to offer.
Looks like we have the weather conditions for a record this year, more on this later.
UPDATE 10:55am 26/12:
Wild Thing is OUT after failing to submit adequate documentation, more here:
