SH[AR?-]K Scallywag? |
Mark Witt, who launched a scathing attack at officials over radio check-in protocols in the lead-up to the race, said the accident happened on Friday night.
Scallywag had led the 75th edition of the race for much of Friday before being overtaken late in the day by eventual line honours winner Comanche.
The overseas yacht was locked in a tussle with the other three supermaxis when things went awry near Tasman Light off the state's southeast.
'We hit a shark and it wrapped around the rudder,' Witt, who was competing in his 24th Sydney to Hobart, told AAP.
'We had to drop all the sails and back the boat up to get the dead shark off the rudder.
We lost about four miles.'"

Like the similar term carpetbagger, the word has a long history of use as a slur in Southern partisan debates.
The opponents of the scalawags claimed they were disloyal to traditional values.
The term is commonly used in historical studies as a neutral descriptor of Southern white Republicans, although some historians have discarded the term due to its history of pejorative connotations."
