Two Guys On the Edge
finish Transpac race

Dan Doyle and Bruce Burgess finally finished the 41st Transpacific Yacht Race, crossing the Diamond Head finish line just before dawn yesterday.

The smallest boat in the fleet, Doyle's Two Guys On the Edge, took 12 days 18 hours, 46 minutes and 19 seconds to finish the 2,225-mile race from California to Hawaii.

That was 8 hours 42 minutes slower than Burgess and Les Vasconcellos did it on the same 30-foot sloop in 1999. But it was fast enough to win the three-boat Doublehanded Division overall on corrected handicap time. Howard Gordon/Jay Crum Jutson 50 set a doublehanded elapsed time record of 10:04:04:01.

The last two boats -- Mystere and Watercolors -- were expected to finish today.
