Igor Simcic’s Esimit Europa 2 crossed the finish line in Marsamxett Harbour in Malta just before 0100 CEST (00 hours, 54 minutes, 35 seconds) on Tuesday, 24 October, to claim the line honours win at the 2011 Rolex Middle Sea Race.
Esimit Europa 2 registered an elapsed time of 61 hours, 24 minutes and 35 seconds.

In 2010, Esimit Europa2 was also the line honours winner, with an elapsed time of 54 hours, 52 minutes, 32 seconds.
As Esimit Europa 2 crossed the line in Malta, the nearest yacht, Rán (GBR), was approximately 90 nautical miles behind, and was expected at the finish in Malta Tuesday afternoon.
