Sebastien Loeb sealed his first victory of the year today, in the first event of the 2008 World Rally Championship.

The final stage of the Monte Carlo Rally was held on the lower half of the Grand Prix track around the port, with cars racing in staggered pairs.

Australian Chris Atkinson drove like a complete loony in the port stage and finished with the fastest time, allowing him to hold on to third place in the general rankings by just one second. Finn Mikko Hirvonen finished second overall.

2007 World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb, and Monegasque co-driver Daniel Elena, cruised home in 8th place in the final port stage, but 1st in the overall rankings, with a comfortable two and a half minute lead over Hirvonen. This was Loeb's fifth Monte Carlo Rally victory.

The February 2008 Boat International annual Top 100 megayachts issue is out. This year's edition is a bumper issue, full of great detail about many of the larger yachts featured on this site, with each yacht in the Top 100 illustrated, and a pull-out table of the whole list.

Dubai is still in number one spot, of course, while we wait for Eclipse to eclipse it. The low water mark has moved up to 65.14 m, and is occupied by Cedar Sea II, at number 100. There are nine new entries and over five miles of yachts, measured bow to stern !

Many of the photos were supplied by monacoeye.com, so congratulations to all photographers involved - our photos looks great in print, keep sending 'em in !
