A “sombre” LawConnect has delayed celebrations after claiming back-to-back line honour wins in a Sydney to Hobart race marred by the death of two sailors.

The Christian Beck-skippered supermaxi was first across the River Derwent finish line at 2.35 a.m. on Saturday in a time of one day, 13 hours, 35 minutes, and 13 seconds.
