ERNESTO “JUDE” ECHAUZ captained Standard Insurance Centennial 5 to line honors in historic fashion as the Rolex China Sea Race returned after a five-year absence.

It’s the first time that a Philippine boat has won line honors at the Rolex China Sea Race,” Echauz said. “It’s such a prestigious race for us.” Echauz’s Rachel Pugh 75 Standard Insurance Centennial 5 is no stranger to flagship offshore races having participated in nine editions of the race and having his name engraved twice on the China Sea Race Trophy in 1998 and 2008.
The next to arrive in Subic was new participant Happy Go of Hong Kong, which was loaded with talented and experienced offshore sailors, including Tiger Mok, the only Hong Kong Volvo Ocean Race sailor, along with 2014 Incheon Asian Games Hong Kong Team sailors Owen Wong and Dominic Law.
