At 15:00 CEST today (Thursday, 22 October 2020) the winner of the 41st edition of the Rolex Middle Sea Race was announced as the Maltese First 45 Elusive 2, skippered by Aaron, Christoph and Maya Podesta.
As Afloat reported earlier, none of the remaining yachts at sea are able to better their corrected time.
Elusive 2 becomes the first boat to win back to back races since Nita IV, which won three times between 1978 and 1980.
