Rolex China Sea Race 2026 Entries Open

Rolex China Sea Race 2026

The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club has announced that entry for the Rolex China Sea Race 2026 is now open.

The 2026 edition of this 565nm Offshore Race will start on Hong Kong’s iconic Victoria Harbour on 4 March. This significantly earlier scheduling of the race will set competitors up to take advantage of the onset of the northeasterly winter monsoon.
