5:27 AM Mon 28 Dec 2009 GMT

Brook Lenfest's 100ft Farr 100 Rapture is currently 39 miles east of Flinders Island and has 254 miles to go to Hobart. She is 14th overall in this year's Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.

This performance cruiser was built by Southern Wind Shipyards in Cape Town South Africa in 2007. She is crewed by a mix of Australian and international sailors and has so far completed over 24,000 miles in her first 22 months in the water.

Rapture raced for the first time in the Heineken Regatta, St Martin 2008 and then sailed to Sardinia where she raced in the Super Yacht Cup, followed by the Rolex Middle Sea Race in Malta.

Currently on a circumnavigation voyage, Rapture arrived in Sydney in early December.

The crew have posted these videos of their Sydney Hobart experience to date.
