None of the competitors to have finished since Quest have been able to knock her off pole position but, with so many of the fleet still at sea, the CYCA waited until this morning to be certain of the result. The delighted owner and crew were awarded the Tattersalls Trophy and a Rolex Chronometer at a presentation onboard Quest, in Constitution Dock this morning.
