Every division winner in the 22nd annual Hydro Tasmania Three Peaks Race has been decided with the top five crews now finished.

First boat home Team Whistler, skippered by Hobart barrister David Rees, completed the course just before midnight on Monday, taking out the racing monohull division with a total time of three days, eight hours and 41 minutes.

Deguello, the 14m catamaran of Tranmere’s John Brierley, won the racing multihull division at 5.39am on Tuesday morning after Hobart’s Allan Hood and Victorian runner Mal Grimmett completed the 33km Mt Wellington run leg in three hours and 53 minutes.

First fully-crewed entrant went to 22-year race veteran skipper Nick Edmunds, of Sidmouth in Northern Tasmania, whose team Haphazard finished at 7.30am after a three hour, 26 minute run from Launceston runners Charles Gunn and John Claridge, who struggled with a knee injury.

Fourth boat home was the sole cruising division entrant, Jeff Dusting’s Beneteau 50 Community Carbon. The Victorian team arrived in Hobart third but elected to go for Tilman Trophy points by sending all five crew-members on the run, where Gunn and Claridge overtook them.

Running teams from Northern Tasmanian Beneteau First 12 Don’t Panic Racing (Jamie Cooper and Rob McLelland), and catamarans Peccadillo (Charles Meredith)and VisitFlindersIsland.com.au (Steve Laird) left for the 1270 metre-high mountain summit early this morning.

Just two boats are yet to arrive at Constitution Dock in Hobart, but are expected in by 10am today. Their runners will wrap up the 2010 Hydro Three Peaks Race this afternoon.
