A 480nm Category 1 Offshore Race from Hong Kong, China to San Fernando, Philippines.

Message from the San Fernando Race Committee 2013

On behalf of the race committee I extend a warm invitation to potential participants of the 19^th Edition of the San Fernando Race, which will take place this coming Easter.

From its inauguration in 1977, when a group of sailing enthusiasts cruised down to San Fernando and raced back, this event has had a special place in the hearts of those who have taken part, not only for challenge of the offshore race itself but because they have enjoyed the warmth and camaraderie that surrounds it. It has also through the support of the children’s home in San Fernando been more than just a race.  (See information on the San Fernando Charity Dinner being held on 15 March).

The Committee is very keen to encourage as many qualifying boats as possible to enter. There are plenty of preparations to make, and the committee and the race office are eager to support with these preparations, especially for those skippers who wish to enter their boats for the first time and who may be unfamiliar with the requirements. Please get in touch if you have any queries.

We are looking forward to challenging competition on the water and a few celebratory beers on the beach in San Fernando…..come and join us.
