By RHKYC Media
145h Oct 1100hrs: A fiercely competitive fleet of nine boats are about to set off on the 9th Hong Kong to Vietnam Race with two starts on 15 and 16 October. The focal point of the race falls on two trimaran’s: Italy’s Giovanni Soldini’s Multi 70 Maserati racing against Hong Kong’s Meitatsu Fukumoto / Seng Huang Lee’s ORMA 60 SHK Scallywag FUKU skippered by David Witt. The trimaran’s goal, other than winning in their category, will be to challenge the race speed record set in 2015 by Syd Fischer with Ragamuffin 100, which crossed the finish line after 42h 17m 24s and clocking an average VMG of 15.8kts.
