Transpacific Yacht Race winner sails to Hawaii in record time

Transpacific Yacht Race winner sails to Hawaii in record time: "It took 5 days, 14 hours, 36 minutes and 20 seconds for the monohull yacht Alfa Romeo to travel the 2,225-nautical miles between Point Fermin, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii.

But when it crossed the Diamond Head, Oahu, finish line of the Transpacific Yacht Race at 12:36 a.m. today, its elapsed time smashed the previous course record by more than a day."
