ROLEX CHINA SEA RACE 2016 - BOAT INFORMATION
The Sun Fast 3600 Ymir, named after the original being in the old Norse mythology, reflects the owner's Norwegian roots. Ymir is 1.5 years old and is the owners first foray into boat ownership after sailing in Hong Kong for 5 years.
RCSR2016 will be the first offshore race for Ymir and first crossing as skipper for Kjartan Furset.
The crew gathered have however about 20 South China Sea crossings between them as well as other offshore experience, one of which, recently returned from a month of sailing in Antarctica.
The whole crew is really looking forward to doing fewer installations, upgrades and general boat work and get out there and sail. The hope is for good and stable monsoon winds giving good reaching conditions avoiding as many wind holes as possible.
