Leg 4 has brought the VolvoOceanRace (VOR) Boats to Hong Kong, with Hun Sung Kai/Scallywag as winner as the HK local representative; a tremendous boost for sailing in Hong Kong.
Unfortunately Vestas was involved on a mid-sea collision that caused the death of a fisherman on the other vessel. Vestas crew is unharmed and only has damage to their boat. Therefore Vestas will not participate in the Hong Kong sailing activities nor the Leg 5 to Guangzhou; which lucky for Vestas is a non-scoring Leg.
