SYDNEY, Dec 28, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Supermaxi Wild Oats XI won its ninth line
honours in the Sydney to Hobart ocean race Friday to become the most
successful yacht in the history of the gruelling competition.
In a thrilling finish to the 628-nautical mile (1,163-kilometre) bluewater
classic down Australia’s east coast that saw an unprecedented battle between
four supermaxis, the 100-footer crossed the finish line first in Hobart.
