Centennial III dominates Boracay race

BORACAY ISLAND—Centennial III caught the biggest prize of Philippine sailing for the third straight year.

But unlike their two previous title victories, skipper Judes Echauz and his all-Filipino crew have the luxury of gaining headway this time when Centennial III ruled the 320-kilometer Subic to Boracay race.

The 52-foot schooner placed second in the last two races Saturday to cement their claim of the 8th Standard Insurance Regatta 2017.

Karakoa, captained by businessman Rey Ordovez, finished second.
