Yachting: Skipper eyes line honours

Skipper Sean Langman is not interested in being handicap or overall winner of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race - he just wants to be first across the line.

Langman yesterday withdrew his Open 60 yacht AAPT from the race to concentrate solely on his other entry, AAPT II.

The second version is a bigger IRM maxi which claimed line honours in 2004 as Nicorette, with a different crew.
