All-Pinoy crew makes history in Sydney-Hobart yacht race

Quick Summary:

SYDNEY—There are plenty of "firsts” in the history of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race which was first held in 1945—an all-Filipino crew of 15 sailors makes it another as the annual ocean classic began on Thursday.

Previously, the TP52 yacht was known as Celestial and claimed the Sydney to Hobart overall handicap victory in 2022 under Sam Haynes after being runner-up the year before.

Veteran sailor Ernesto Echauz is at the helm of Centennial 7 which embarked on the 628-nautical mile (722 miles, 1,160 kilometers) race.
