Notes
University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China reference number: Tr02-058. This yacht took part in the annual Macau Race for the Potts Challenge Cup in 1932, during which lack of wind and a strong tide, turned the race into an endurance event. Azuma eventually finished after fifty-five trying hours. The following year Azuma enjoyed Line Honours in the Macau Race with an elapsed time of 17h 11m 12s. See an account of the 1932 race on page 53 of ‘Eastern Waters Eastern Winds, A History of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club’ by Gillian Chambers (1993). See Tr02-056.
