The Line Honours podium in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race is now complete, with the RP72 URM Group becoming the third boat in this year’s fleet to cross the finish line this afternoon.
URM Group finished the 628 nautical mile race organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia (CYCA) in a time of 2 days 02 hours 07 minutes 19 seconds.
Owned by Anthony Johnston, URM Group’s third place behind line honours winner LawConnect and second placed Andoo Comanche signed off a brilliant race by the team.
URM Group spent much of the race in a tight tussle with two other mini maxis, Philip Turner’s RP66 Alive (Tas) and Sean Langman’s RP69 Moneypenny (NSW).
However, today URM Group managed to jump away and beat them both to the finish line, ending its campaign with a superb sail up the Derwent River into Hobart.
