The Vestas will not participate in the coastal race of Hong Kong, nor in the fifth stage of the Volvo

The current Spanish ship "Mapfre" leader of the Volvo Ocean Race general is also defending the first position in the classification of the In-Port Race Series, with the Dongfeng Race Team a point away and Team Brunel completing the podium. The Hong Kong Island In-Port Race is one of two competitive events scheduled in the former British colony for this weekend. On Sunday, the teams will compete on the Around Hong Kong Island Race, a coast around Hong Kong Island. The results of the two races will be combined and marked as an event for the general classification of the In-Port Race Series.

The Sun Hung Kai / Scallywag will be the boat to watch over the weekend... the local team won Stage 4 from Melbourne to Hong Kong and wants to continue to give joys to its enthusiastic local followers. Meanwhile, the 11th Hour Racing Vestas has announced that it will not participate in the coastal races of Hong Kong this weekend or in the fifth stage of Hong Kong to Guangzhou, as the team is currently coordinating the necessary repairs on its ship caused by the collision with a Chinese fishing vessel.
