We sold Xena last year, after ten fun years of racing and cruising, and she’s now owned by Chinese businessman Mark Nie.
In the China Coast Regatta, over three days starting tomorrow, she’s skippered by Mark and Dominic Law of X-Yachts HK.
The China Coast Race week this year also included a Cat 3 A-to-A race, in Hong Kong waters, though seems Xena not taking part in that.
Here’s the entries for China Coast Regatta. 34 Entries, pretty good for these Covid days. Note: Four TP52s!
Great to see Xena is being raced regularly. Hope they’re also having cruising fun with their young family, wife Zhang Haohan -- perviously a badminton player for China’s national team -- and their two young children.
She currently rates in IRC 1.208, which is only one pip down from the 1.209 in 2015
LATER (9 Oct): Xena wins first two races. Long geometrics or short island races?
LATER (12 Oct): And wins the Div. Click screenshot to enlarge and clarify...

Well done Xena and crew!
ReplyDeleteWell done Xena and crew too!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see her out on the water again racing. I had a wonderful time sailing with Peter and crew.
ReplyDeleteSailing in Australia does not have too many restrictions and the weather is getting warmer. No offshore overnight racing until November. They say Hobart is going ahead - we will see

DeleteHi Peter,
ReplyDeleteAnd yes she looked great! Got the starting time wrong on the last race but made it back before cut off and still managed to to win the race and the regatta in her class.
I stayed on Skylark with the race management girls brought her back to the boatyard for her last week and final installation of the solar panel and inverter system.
We will bring her back to Sai Kung on either Friday or Saturday should you like to come for the trip. Will sent you pictures via What’s App.
Best Inge
