Tyco
close behind, rounds the seaward mark Hobart. Despite being among
the leaders to arrive at Hobart, Tyco was disqualified
for failing to comply with rule 43, requiring all competitors
to contact Race Control before entering Bass Strait. At the time
of writing, this only had affected the boat's position in the
Sydney to Hobart and not the Volvo leg of the Round The World
Yacht Race. However, the skipper of Team News Corp had
noted an intention to submit a protest for the Volvo leg.
