San Fernano Race

HONG KONG—The approach of Typhoon Maysak to the eastern shores of the Philippine archipelago upset the traditional, Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club organized, Easter race to the Philippines. Instead a shorter (approx 330nm) offshore race was organized, navigating four marks in the North China Sea and returning back to Hong Kong. This year (2015) should have been the biennial 480nm San Fernando race which alternates annually with the 565nm China Sea Race to Subic Bay.
