The Mark Richards-skippered super-maxi, which had been pushed along for much of Thursday (December 27) by strong northerly winds, crossed the finish line in Tasmania at about 0723 local (2023 GMT) to break their own record by just under 20 minutes. Their unofficial time was one day, 18 hours, 21 minutes and 17 seconds. (3:04)
