Winners ARMIN STROM Sailing Team did not take part in the race that saw 1584 entries.
The conditions were ideal for the fleet with 12-15 knot winds.
The lead regularly exchanged hands between Sultanate of Oman, Alinghi and ENGIE.
However it was the Arabs that eventually won with Alinghi less than a minute adrift with ENGIE settling in third place.
