Doug Hassell's Beneteau 44.7 Diablo comprehensively broke the Royal Ocean Racing Club recognised Dubai to Muscat race record set in 2013 by Adrian Lee's Cookson 50 Lee Overlay Partners when she arrived in Muscat early on Saturday 8 November, taking some 5 hours off the record. Diablo set a new course record of 1 Day 19 hours 52mins 41 secs for the 340 mile race. Last year's record was also beaten by Phil Ellerby's XC 45 Exodus which arrived just under 2 hours behind Diablo.
Results are currently provisional as at 1200 9 November 2014.
The 2015 Dubai to Muscat race will start on 5 November 2015.
