I'd like to take this opportunity as Anthony Bell aboard The Count to congratulate Anthony Bell aboard Investec Loyal and his crew for their outstanding efforts in taking line honours in this year's Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
I had the pleasure of meeting Anthony at this year's Hamilton Island Race Week as The Count was berthed near Investec Loyal and her tender Ghost.

The Count was in position at the South Head turning bouy to wish Anthony and his crew good luck as they began their chase down of Wild Oats XI.

3 minutes separated them after a bit over 2 days of racing. Great stuff!
After a tense night whilst awaiting an International Jury's decision on a possible rule breach the crew of Loyal were able to bask in the glory of winning one of the world's great ocean races.
Well done Anthony Bell
