Data from http://sailingtrivia.ravenyachts.fr/2013/12/the-100-footers-in-sydney-hobart-race.html
The lines of Perpetual Loyal were developed from the trends in the IMOCA Open 60 and the Volvo Open 70 circuit. Scaled to 100 feet, the lines are so sleek that is difficult to read the shape of the yacht in her aftersections. Because of this, her horizontal sections (which are parallel to the waterline) all stop abruptly at the transom. Half the yacht's weight is located in the canting keel which may be swung to windward under sail. In a breeze, 8 cubic metres of liquid may be pumped to her ballast, allowing for a huge righting moment that her opponents cannot match. Furthermore, Loyal's ability to plane offwind give her exceptional top speed. During the SOLAS Big Boat warmup challenge ahead of the Sydney-Hobart race, she was taken over by Wild Oats XI after her spinnaker blew out, a reminder that victory can only be achieved if nothing fails.

Clarke has received approval from Cricket Australia to compete and has received specialised training

The Sydney - Gold Coast Yacht Race is a demanding event, particularly in the hard running conditions often experienced at this time of the year. Clarke I am sure will do as he is told.

His participation will help raise money for "vital medical equipment that children need to survive life threatening situations" See http://www.loyalfoundation.com.au/irm/content/charities.aspx?RID=299

Hope there aren't rough seas. That won't do Clarkes back any good one would think.
