Seawolf Makes History with IRC Overall Win in Race

William Liu's Ker 42 Custom Seawolf clinches the IRC Overall title at the 2026 Rolex China Sea Race, marking a historic win as the first Chinese Mainland yacht to achieve this feat. Seawolf finishes with a corrected time of 71h 43m 35s, crossing the line on Friday at 21:30:20. Philip Turner's R/P 66 Team Alive-Rampage takes Line Honours. Tiger Mok becomes the first solo competitor in the race's history. This edition, started a month earlier to leverage the north-east monsoon, proves to be one of the fastest and most challenging. Franco Cutrupia's Solaris 60 Fenice secures second in IRC Overall, while Stefan Filip's Neo 400+, Neo One, takes third. Double-handed honors go to Sun Fast 3600 Zesst, with Henning Mueller and Adrian Stromski reporting a grueling but rewarding experience.
