VICTORIAN yacht Gusto has claimed a historic treble by taking line honours in the Melbourne to Launceston event -- smashing the race record in the process.
The Brian Pattinson-skippered Open 66 took just 18 hours 44 minutes and five seconds to win the race across Bass Strait, bettering the mark of 19:55:43 set by Cadibarra 8 in 2003.
Having won the Melbourne to Hobart Westcoaster and Eastcoaster races in the preceding two years, Gusto became the first yacht to claim the treble.
Goldfinger was leading the Eastcoaster race this morning, with the fleet racing into 20-knot south westerlies to the south of Flinders Island.
Goldfinger was looking well placed to claim the golden double of handicap and line honours.
The Westcoaster race was much closer, with Extasea seven miles clear of Bandit.
Tevake II, Cadibarra 8 and Spirit of Downunder were in a tight cluster behind the leading two yachts, with the race for handicap honours wide open.
