SAIL: Wild Oats XI takes line honours
HOBART, Dec 28, AAP - Wild Oats Eleven has become the first boat in 42 years to take
back-to-back line honours in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
The 30-metre NSW maxi has crossed the finish line to win by almost 40 nautical miles
from Ichi Ban with Skandia a further two miles back.
Its winning time is well outside the race record it set last year.
