The supermaxi racing yacht Investec Loyal was officially declared winner of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race after an international jury dismissed a protest to the result.
Investec Loyal finished the 628 nautical mile racing in 2 days, 6 hours, 14 minutes and 18 seconds, beating Wild Oats XI by just three minutes in the 67-year-old event’s closest finish in 29 years.
The race is the biggest and most popular in Australia and begins the day after Christmas (Boxing Day).
