Wild Oats XI claims record Hobart win
Wednesday Dec 28 10:01 AEDT
Wild Oats XI has won the 61st Sydney to Hobart yacht race, smashing Nokia's 1999 line honours record by more than an hour.
Ecstatic skipper Mark Richards claimed the victory at 0800 (AEDT) on Wednesday - one day, 18 hours, 40 minutes and 10 seconds after the starter's gun.
The win also puts Wild Oats in the running for the treble, with overall handicap honours the only accolade to come after taking line honours and race record.
