Monohull line honours go to the first single-hulled boat across the finish line, regardless of handicap.

The overall winner is decided separately on corrected time under the IRC handicap rating system, and multihulls race for their own honours under a separate Multihull Offshore Cruising and Racing Association (MOCRA) rating system.
