Record-breaker Wild Oats XI looks all but assured of taking out an historic Sydney to Hobart treble.
The super-maxi looks likely to add an overall victory on handicap to line honours and a new race record.
Wild Oats sits atop the handicap standings, ahead of 2011 winner Loki and Black Jack.
But overnight challengers Jazz, Calm and Quest have failed to finish fast enough to claim the overall prize.
Oats would become the first boat to claim the treble since British boat Rani, but her "record" was set in the first race in 1945.
