Small 1st to Finish
If the Transpac 52 Beau Geste is the 1st monohull to finish it will be one of the smaller boats to be 1st over the line in some time.
Since the mid 80’s Santa Cruz 70’s have often been 1st to finish with boats outside the Great Lakes up to 90 feet also taking line honors.
Perhaps one of the IOR 50’s would’ve been 1st to finish, if not I’d think it’s back to the 80’s to find a 50 footer that was 1st to finish.
Update: No worries about a 50 footer finishing 1st. Holua a GL 70 was 1st to finish a 0314 on Monday. Beau Geste crossed the line 20 minutes later.
