IRC - Sydney-Hobart Race 2016 - Sydney AUS - Day 3 - new record for 'Perpetual Loyal'

The line honours of this year's Sydney-Hobart Race went after one day, 13 hrs and 31 min to the 100-foot-Super-Maxi 'Perpetual Loyal' of Anthony Bell AUS (with the Laser Olympic Champion Tom Slingsby AUS). The ideal conditions with mostly moderate rear winds made the race fast allowing to finish in a new record time. The 2nd-ranked VOR70 'Giacomo' of John Delegat NZL and the 100-foot 'Scallywag' of Seng Huang Lee SIN on 3rd remained also below the old record. Until press deadline this morning, 7 yachts terminated the race.
