The Rolex China Sea Race is Asia’s principal blue water race. Held biennially, the 565-nautical mile (1,046 km) epic from Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour to Subic Bay in the Philippines has retained the original Corinthian ethos at the heart of the brand’s relationship with the sport. The 2026 edition – brought forward by a month to take advantage of the north-east monsoon – was among the fastest and most demanding in its 64-year history. William Liu’s Ker 42 Custom Seawolf secured a historic triumph by being crowned IRC Overall Champion, becoming the first Chinese Mainland yacht to claim that title. Philip Turner’s Reichel/Pugh 66 Team Alive-Rampage took a decisive Line Honours victory in 49 hours, 55 minutes and 8 seconds, coming up just shy of eclipsing the race record it set in 2016. Organized by the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC), Rolex has partnered this offshore classic since 2008 as part of its almost 70-year relationship with yachting.
