Veteran Tasmanian yachtsman Roger Jackman has made a clearn sweep of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania's historic 90 nautical mile Bruny Island Race with his 52-footer, Doctor Who.

The Laurie Davidson-designed Doctor Who took line honours last evening and won both the IMS and PHS handicap divisions on corrected time results, announced today.

The Bruny Island Race is said to be Australia's oldest continuous offshore yacht race, being first sailed in 1898.

The course that takes the fleet across Storm Bay and down the eastern shores of the long island, then back up the enclosed waters of the D'Entrecasteaux Channel, both island and channel being named after the famous French navigator Bruny D'Entrecasteaux.

Doctor Who completed the circumnavigation and sail up the River Derwent to the finish off Hobart's Castray Esplanade in 11 hours 47 hours 47 minutes 48 seconds, about 33 minutes ahead of Tony Lyall's Valheru.

On corrected times, Doctor Who won the IMS division from B52 (Hughie Lewis) and Interum (Craig King) and won the PHS division from B52 and Valheru.
