At 23:29 GMT on 14 January (21:29 in Rio) Maserati Soldini crossed the finish-line of the 14th Cape to Rio De Janeiro race, establishing a new speed record for the race of the race 10 days, 11 hours, 29 minutes, 57 seconds.

The previous record was held by Zephyrus IV, a 74’ American maxi which covered the distance in 12 days, 16 hours and 49 minutes in 2000.

The official elapsed time has still to be issued. Now the agonising wait to see whether she can get the double by adding overall handicap honours to her achievement begins.
