Regatta winners beat record.
This year's Palermo-Monte Carlo yacht race has been won by the Esimit Europa 2, crossing 500 nautical miles of the Mediterranean Sea in 2 days, 52 minutes and 21 seconds. Skippered by Italian Flavio Favini, several of the 24 crew members have taken part in the America's Cup. The 30 metre boat establishes a new record, beating Senso One's 2008 record by more than 3 hours.
The award ceremony takes place at 18:00 tonight in the Monaco Yacht Club.
