Heli's over Sydney Hobart race

I couldn't help but notice what appeared to be a black and a blue and white R44 (could conceivably be R66's) hovering over the lead boats after the start of the Sydney Hobart race. I'd eat my hat if either of the Robbos hat pop-out floats. They were quite a distance off shore, well over 10 miles at altitudes of perhaps 100-150ft AMSL. There were other aircraft there including Squirrels that DID have floats fitted.

What are the legal implications of the Robbos that far out without floats?
