The 100-ft (30.48m) maxi skippered by Christian Beck completed the 628-nautical mile course at 02:35.13 AEDT on Saturday 28 December in an elapsed time of one day, 13 hours, 35 minutes and 13 seconds. 

The first two days of the 79th edition of the Rolex Sydney Hobart saw challenging conditions endured by the entire fleet.

The race has been marked by tragedy, with the death of two sailors following accidents on two different yachts - Bowline and Flying Fish Arctos - on the first night. As a sign of respect for the sailors, crews, family and friends of the two yachts involved in the tragic accidents no organized celebrations were held for line honours nor will there be for the overall winner ahead of the final prizegiving on 31 December.
