Sydney to Hobart finish sets the scene for a wonderful 125th year There could not have been a better way to set the scene for the University of Tasmanias milestone 125th year than occurred on the Derwent River this morning. Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Mike Calford said the sight of the Cougar II heading to the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race finish line under the Universitys proud, heraldic lion was quite literally a vision splendid. The Cougar II, a Transpac 52 (TP52) class boat skippered by University alumni Dr Tony Lyall, crossed the finish line at Battery Point in 13th position, with a race time of 2 days, 17 hours, 52 minutes and 50 seconds.
