Looks like there's a change in the wind...

Congratulations to the triumph New Zealand Maxi 'Alfa Romeo', 2009 winner of the '65th Annual Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race'. Beating 'Wild Oates' who was close line chasing a record 5th consecutive line honours win... narrowing the margin on the last day from 32 nautical miles to only 11 nautical miles. Wow - it was a breath taking race, with near to perfect conditions and what would seem to be only casualties of pride...
