AFP - New Zealand maxi Alfa Romeo cruised to a comfortable win in the Sydney to Hobart yacht race on Monday, taking line honours in the 65th annual ocean classic.

The 100-foot yacht crossed the finish line of the 628 nautical mile race down the southern half of Australia's east coast in Hobart shortly after 10:00 pm (1100 GMT).

Alfa Romeo led the 100-strong fleet out of Sydney Harbour on Saturday and was never once overtaken during her two days, nine hours, two minutes and 10 seconds on the water.
