Event Schedule
Race to Macau – Day 1 (Thursday, 1 October)
The rally begins with the offshore passage from Hong Kong to Macau. Boats will start in the morning from an area northwest of Lamma Island, setting a westward course through the southern waters of Hong Kong toward Macau.
This opening leg offers a rewarding challenge, with crews navigating busy shipping channels and variable coastal conditions on their way across the Pearl River Delta to the finish.
