ABC Online brings the happy news that Canberra Yacht Gillawa has finally brought the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race to a conclusion as the last boat across the line, some five days after the winners came home.

I imagine all aboard will be glad to see dry land.

There was a segment about them on the news last night, and apparently they came in about 20 hours faster than last year. The crew is mostly made up of rookies; the idea behind the venture is to give these young sailors an opportunity to gain experience in ocean racing.

Good show, and well done I say.
