Sydney to Mooloolaba race, Team Australia sole finisher after light conditions stymie competition from Seacart 30 trimaran 'Morticia' for handicap honours

From the following article on foxsportspulse.com
The Sydney to Mooloolaba Yacht Race finally came to an end when BOQ Team Australia crossed the finish line off Point Cartwright at 6.48pm yesterday evening, Friday April 11, 2014, with an elapsed time of 53 hours, 48 minutes and 40 seconds for the 468 nautical mile course.
Crew members Ben Kelly, Sean and Peter Langman, Larry Jamieson, James Ogilvie and Josh Alexander were relieved and elated when they stepped off the 60-foot trimaran that delivered them safely from Sydney Harbour to Mooloolaba and a round of well-earned cold drinks and applauding onlookers.

 A week from today a small group of multihull owners will mark a new chapter in the history of the Sydney to Mooloolaba Yacht Race, previously a major offshore event on the Australian calendar.

At the traditional start time of 1pm on a Wednesday pre-Easter, this time on April 9, Sean Langman’s record-busting ORMA 60 trimaran BOQ Team Australia is highly likely to lead the charge out of Sydney Harbour when the skipper’s quest for the trophy treble begins.

Beating Brindabella’s outright record of 1 day 20 hours 1 minute 43 seconds set 20 years ago, setting the first multihull line honours record and winning on handicap (OMR) are feasible given the boat’s achievements in southern waters, including two World Sailing Speed Council records.
