Celestial crowned overall winner of Sydney to Hobart yacht race

An international jury ruled Celestial had breached rules that stipulated competitors must keep a continuous watch for radio contact."Last year certainly hurt ... but we made a very conscious decision to come back and get back into it," he said.Celestial finished yesterday just before 11:30am AEDT.

"It's a sport we love; we've got a great crew, and they stood by and really wanted to compete as hard as possible in this year's race. "There are plenty of times, even on a good day, where you're looking at it and you think, 'Here I am at the bottom of the boat, soaking wet, tired ... why am I out here?'

"But it is a beautiful sport and I love the competition, I like the camaraderie of it as well, and I like the technicality of sailing and what it takes to make these boats the way they are.Celestial's win was announced after a redress hearing requested by Enterprise Next Generation, which stood by the stricken yacht, Koa, which later retired with a broken rudder.

Enterprise, which currently sits at 14th overall, could be awarded time lost over the act of sportsmanship, but skipper Anthony Kirke said he did not expect the result to challenge Celestial's standing.after it triumphed in a two-boat tussle up the River Derwent early on Wednesday morning.Watch
