REPORTS

Managing in the pandemic I sent you a note just before Chinese New Year starting with the words “The gloom and doom persists but, despite this, I awoke this morning feeling extremely optimistic about the Club’s future and I would like to share my reasons with you.” Given what has happened since then, you can be forgiven for wondering whether I have lost my perspective! Despite the issues which we are now facing, I remain convinced that, when we have the luxury of looking back at 2022, from say 2024, this year will be seen as the turning point.

The current outbreak is worrying and there are many diverse views on how best to manage the COVID restrictions. Nevertheless, the restrictions are laws with penalties and these are being strictly enforced. The Club’s management and staff are tasked with overseeing these restrictions on our premises and I ask that you be patient and understanding so that we can stay open.

DON JOHNSTON Commodore

Updated Articles of Association The Articles of Association (AoA) are to be updated and the briefing of GenCom occurred in January 2022 with only a few minor, but necessary, refinements to the presentation. After the town hall briefing to members in September 2019, it is entirely appropriate that members be briefed and updated again. I anticipate that you will receive an email package in early March 2022 advising of a members’ webinar likely to be held in late March. We will explain the key updates to the AoA to ensure they are fit for purpose and compliant with the current Companies Ordinance. Following this, if there are no unresolved issues, we will seek to hold a General Meeting of Members to ratify the new AoA. Occupational Health and Safety, and Sustainability The Club has issued policies on both issues and these are available on notice boards and on the website for you to read. In both issues, there are opportunities for further improvement and we are actively doing so by appointing an officer whose sole duty is to guide management and GenCom. In conclusion Please take the time to read the reports from Paul Arkwright, Rob Quinlivan, Bridget Chan and Eddy Lo. They are packed full of useful and positive information.

I wish you all a very healthy and happy New Year of the Tiger!

疫情下的管理 我在農曆新年前給會員們發了一封以「儘管無力的感覺依然存 在， 但在早上醒來時我對本會的未來仍感到非常樂觀，所以我想分享我 的見解」為題的信。鑑於疫情在新年後的改變，請原諒我的展望已作 出改變！雖然我們正面臨著這一切，但我仍然堅信，大約在2024年的 時候回望著2022年時，這一年將被視為一個轉折點。 當下的疫情令人擔憂，對於如何適當地管理和對 COVID 的限制規定 有許多不同的看 法，這些限制規定不但 正在 嚴格執行，當中更帶有 法律作用的刑罰。本會管理層和工作人員的首要任務是 監督會所內 的疫情限制，希望各會員保持耐心和理解，以便本會能維持開放。 更新公司章程 公司章程將會更新，委員會的簡報亦已於 2022 年 1 月舉行，因此報 告內容必須進行一些輕微的改進。 在 2019 年 9 月的市政廳簡報後， 再次更新簡報和舉行會議是恰當的。 我預計會員們將在 2022 年 3 月上旬會收到一封電子郵件，通知預計在 3 月下旬舉行的會員線上 研討會。 我們將向會員解釋公司章程的主要更新，以確保其符合現 行的《公司條 例》。在 此之後，如果有其他的問題，我們將召開會員 大會以批准新的公司章程。 職業健康安全及可持續性 本會就這兩個問題發布了方針，會員可在佈告欄和網站上查閱。 在 這兩個問題上均有進一步改善的空間，我們正在通過任命一名負責 指導的管理層和委員會成員負責。 總結 請抽時間閱讀由Paul Arkwright, Rob Quinlivan, Bridget Chan 和 Eddy Lo發出的報告，當中有很多有用的資訊及正面訊息。 祝 虎年快樂，身體健康！

REPORTS

Getting into the details As you will have noticed, there is a lot of work going on at the Club and the Planning and Works Committee continues to oversee a significant number of projects.

Key achievements We completed the air-conditioning upgrade works on time. Well done to Paul, CY and the team who managed to supervise the contractors and complete the project. The new air-conditioning system is working well and is also a heating system so we will be warm and toasty in the cooler weather. We’ve also taken the opportunity to repair various leaks in the restaurant roof so we should be nice and dry during the rainy season. Special mention to Billy and the F&B team who did a marvellous job and kept the operations going from the temporary kitchen in the Garden Bar. Thanks to all the members for your understanding during these essential works.

ROBERT QUINLIVAN Vice Commodore

The female bathroom renovation is well underway. After some initial challenges with the temporary bathroom facilities, they seem to be operating as planned and we hope that the inconvenience will be manageable. Due to construction noise impacting the office staff, we’ve relocated some staff to temporary office locations.

You may have noticed some new temporary containers in the boatyard. These are designed to provide temporary office accommodation for some of our team as we work on enhancing the Club’s facilities. Feedback from the Sailing Centre team, who are now able to spread out a little in their new accommodation, has been very positive.

Looking ahead At the time of writing, I’ve just returned from a detailed review session of the plans for installing boat rack safety walkways. The purpose of the session was to challenge all aspects of the proposed plan including the detailed tasks, the sequence of the tasks and the overall timeline. Having firmed-up the plan, including reducing the overall timeline, we are now in a good position to conduct final negotiations with the tenderers to deliver the project as designed, with minimum disruption to members.

Some other project highlights: • Ground investigation works in the marina, which are a precursor to replacing the marina pylons, has commenced.

• Detailed plans to install the access lift to the balcony has been submitted to the Buildings Department.

• We continue to work on planning and necessary lease modifications in respect of the proposed Regatta Deck in place of the Garden Bar. Safety You may have noticed that Club contractors working on the air-conditioning and bathroom projects are now clearly identifiable in high-visibility vests. This is part of our overall drive to make the Club a safer place for members, staff and contractors.

Thanks for your support as we continue to improve our Club’s facilities.

REPORTS

Happy Spring and who knows where we will be by the time you read this (which I penned on the first day of CNY). And with my feet firmly under the table now (save for my desk moving—see ‘Driving staff up the wall’ below) allow me to fill you in on lots of positive change that is afoot in all aspects of life at Hebe.

Type D operations in Restaurant & Balcony For those just emerging from hibernation and/or returning from a SpaceX holiday—who might have missed it, the Government is stepping up local measures in respect of COVID variants. In line with this and to keep things as safe as possible for everyone at the Club, by the time you read this we will have moved to Type D operations (or more stringent measures if required by the Government) and will continue to do so until restrictions and life stabilises a bit.

PAUL C. ARKWRIGHT General Manager

The good news is that this means you can now enjoy meals with up to 4 people at each table at the time of writing. To save you time at check-in, please upload your latest vaccination certificate to your LeaveHome Safe app if you haven’t done so already. Those without proof of vaccination certification/ exemption will not be allowed access to the Restaurant/Balcony with effect from 9.00 am on 4 February 2022. As well as your normal HHYC LHS App QR code scan and temperature check upon entry to the Club, members wishing to use the Restaurant and Balcony will have to do a second scan, and show proof of vaccination status (at least one dose) or proof of exemption before they can enter.

Single Restaurant entry point (near car park): To help facilitate scanning in everyone and checking vax records, we will close off the pedestrian bridge entrance to the Restaurant (in which the “nook” now becomes our temporary General Office reception area), and we will adopt a single entry point to the Restaurant and Balcony for members via the staircases near the car park and member washrooms.

Note during this time, the pedestrian bridge access will be exclusively reserved for: • Accessing the new “nook” General Office and parcel pick up for members • Emergency exit for the Restaurant & Balcony • Disabled access to the Restaurant & Balcony Sailing Centre gets a new home Rob and his team have now moved into their long-awaited new home next to CY’s Project Office in the boatyard. I was sad to see the SC team leave an empty blue room behind in the General Office, but so happy for them as the team trundled all their belongings over to their new home. It was smiles all round, as the SC team could finally swing a cat in their new office, which as well as animal-swinging functionality, now also features purpose-built secure storage for all our VHF radios, Race Management Pelican boxes, J/80 boxes and Safety Boat boxes. Wow…it’s scarily organised in there right now.

Staff Townhall & annual dinner In the nick of time, before the move to more stringent regulations, we manged to hold the first annual dinner for our staff in two years. We hosted almost every single HHYC staff member at Chun Kee Seafood restaurant in Sai Kung.

I used the opportunity to give a bilingual Townhall address to everyone to help explain the rollout of new staff contracts, which was followed by fun and games and plenty of food and drinks for all. The Annual Spring Dinner for GenCom and Staff, is unfortunately still on hold due to on-going COVID restrictions at the time of writing (as indeed it has been for the past two years).

Restaurant & kitchen renovations completed The replacement works of the restaurant AC system started on schedule on 3 January 2022 and were finished eight days ahead of schedule on 21 January 2022. The renovations include a new state-of-the-art Daikin VRV air-con system that saves energy, is customisable for each room, and is also reverse cycle—so it can keep us warm in winter and cool in summer.

As part of that big project, which required the closure of the entire Restaurant, we also took the opportunity to simultaneously replace the Hydron air filtration system in the kitchen, replace leaking skylight panels above the Restaurant, deep-clean the floors and repaint the restaurant walls.

春天快樂，不知道當大家閱讀這篇文章時身在何地 (這是我在農曆初一那天寫的)。現在我雙腿穩穩地在 桌子底下(除了我的辦公桌正在被搬移，詳情請閱讀以下「把員工們逼瘋了」)，先讓我介紹白沙灣遊艇會 在各個方面的正面變化。 餐廳和露台以D類模式運作 對於那些剛剛從冬眠中醒來或從SpaceX假期回來的人，可能錯過最新的疫情消息，政府正在加強針對 COVID-19 變種病毒的措施。與此一致，為盡量確保本會每個人的安全，在您閱讀這篇文章時，我們已轉為以D類運作模式 經營，亦將會繼續此措施直至情況變得相對穩定，政府將來或會要求採取更嚴謹的防疫措施。 好消息是您現在可以在每桌最多4人的情況下用餐（當正在寫此報時）。為了節省辦理登記手續的時間， 如果您尚未把最新疫苗接種證明書上傳到安心出行應用程式，請盡快上傳。由 2022 年 2 月 4 日上午 9:00 起，沒有持有疫苗接種證明書或豁免證明的人將不得進入餐廳和露台。除了在進入本會時要掃瞄安心出 行應用程式的二維碼和檢查體溫，會員亦希望使用餐廳和露台必須進行再次掃描二維碼，並在進入前要 出示疫苗接種狀態證明書（至少接種一劑）或豁免證明。 餐廳單一入口（停車場旁） ：為了方便掃描安心出行二維碼和檢查其疫苗接種記錄，我們將關閉餐廳的行 人天橋入口（其中的角落現成為我們臨時總辦公室接待處），同時我們將以停車場和會員洗手間附近的

Driving you up the wall The restaurant renovations necessitated the removal of all the existing reciprocal club burgees, charts, faded photos and the like from the walls. The survey for what members would like to see put back up on the walls garnered some great feedback and with this in mind, moving forward, a new hybrid model of displaying both old and new photographs will be adopted. These will be rotated from time to time to help share the love and keep it fresh. As for the reciprocal club burgees, we will be creating a compilation of images of all the burgess and presenting them together in one combined display.

樓梯作為會員進入餐廳和露台的單一入口。在此期間，請留意行人天橋只會供下列情況使用: •

•

帆船運動中心有新家 Rob 和他的團隊現在已搬進了他們期待已久的新家，位於船廠 CY 項目辦公室的旁邊。當看見帆船訓練中 心團隊在總辦公室留下一個空蕩蕩的藍色房間，難過的應該上心頭，但當團隊將他們所有物品都搬到新 家時，我也為他們感到高興。那裡到處都是笑容，因為帆船運動中心團隊終於有足夠的空間工作了！除此 之外，現在還為我們所有 VHF 無線電、比賽管理 Pelican 保護箱、J/ 80 箱和安全船箱都設有專供安全貯儲 空間。嘩…現在物件存放得整齊多了。 員工大會和周年晚宴 我們在政府臨公布採取更嚴謹規定的最後一刻之前，為我們員工舉辦這兩年來的第一次周年晚宴。我們 在西貢的全記海鮮餐廳接待了接近每一位白沙灣遊艇會員工。我藉此機會向每個人發表雙語大會講話， 以協助解釋推出新員工合約，然後是娛樂和遊戲環節以及為大家提供的大量美食和飲料。不幸的是在撰 寫這篇文章時，由於對COVID的持續限制，總委員會和員工的周年春茗晚宴需要被擱置（過去兩年同樣面 對相同情況）。

Driving staff up the wall The concurrent washroom renovations have created a significant amount of noise and vibration which made working in the General Office … grating … to say the least. So, to help keep the admin team sane, we have temporarily swapped over locations for the General Office (which is now in the blue container near the bus stop entrance to the Club) and the staff canteen (which is now where SC used to be) during this period, which we expect to be for about four months. We have also banned any works during the lunchtime periods to ensure members can continue to dine in peace.

餐廳和廚房裝修完成 在 2022 年 1 月 3 日如期開始更換餐廳空調系統的工程，並於 2022 年 1 月 21 日完成，比預期提早八天完 成。作為大型項目的一部分並需要關閉餐廳進行，翻新工程包括更換最先進及更節省能源的的DaiKin VRV 空調系統，亦可為每間房間定制，逆循環的系可令我們感覺冬暖夏涼。我們還利用這機會同時更換廚房的 空氣過濾系統和餐廳上方會漏水的天花板，為地板深層清潔和重新粉刷餐廳的牆壁。 把您逼瘋了 餐廳裝修工程需要先從牆上移除所有現存互惠委員會的燕尾旗、圖表、褪色的照片等。為了解會員對於牆 上應重新掛貼什麼的想法和集合意見，我們進行了一項調查，收集了一些很好的回應，透過考慮到這一點 去邁進，將採用一種新混合模式去同時展示新和舊照片。這些照片將會不時輪流轉換，去有助繼續分享愛 並保持新鮮感。至於互惠委員會的燕尾旗，我們將創建彙集所有燕尾旗圖像，並把它們一同展示。 把員工們逼瘋了 當時同時進行的洗手間裝修工程所造成的大量噪音和震動，這促使在總辦公室工作會表現不耐煩。因此，

Hey Mr Postman The members’ pigeon holes remain in the same place, but if you have a parcel, we will let you know, and will ask you to pick it up from the new temporary “nook” office near the main entrance.

為了幫助管理團隊保持理性，我們在此期間暫時交換了總辦公室的位置（現時位於本會巴士站入口附近 的藍色貨櫃中）和員工食堂（現在是帆船運動中心的舊辦公室)，預計情況將持續約四個月。同時我們為了 確保會員可繼續專心用餐，現已禁止午餐時間內進行任何工程。 嗨郵差先生 會員信件格仍然如常安放在同一個位置，不過如果你有包裹處理，請通知我們並邀請你在正門旁邊的新 臨時「角落」辦公室領取。

Onwards, upwards and hopefully a bit more seawards in the near future…

展望在不久將來遊艇會的發展更上一層樓。

Bits & Pieces heads upwind as Scrumpy closes on the C mark (Monsoon Winter Series 2021, Race 4)

MONSOON WINTER SERIES 2021, RACES 4 & 5

冬季系列賽第四及第五場

Day 3 of the Monsoon Winter Series 2021 was held on 20 November 2021. Conditions were ideal as the committee boat, Hebe One, dropped anchor in Port Shelter for the two scheduled geometric races. 在 2021 年 11 月 20 日（星期六）舉行了 2021 年度冬季系列賽的第三天賽事。當天環境非常理想， 會船 HEBE ONE 在牛尾海拋錨，為即將進行的兩場幾何競賽作準備。 The outer windward mark (A1) for the IRC boats was laid at an angle of 110 degrees and at a distance of 0.8 nautical miles, while the inner A2 mark, for the J/80s and HKPN fleet, was dropped at 0.6 nautical miles. The C mark was also used as the outer distance marker for the finish line.

在2021年11月20日（星期六）舉行了2021年度冬季系列 賽的第三天賽事。當天環境非常理想，會船 HEBE ONE 在牛尾海拋錨，為即將進行的兩場幾何競賽作準備。 IRC船隊的外迎風標A1在距離0.8海哩外以110度角鋪設，

A relatively long start line of 300 metres was laid to cater for the combined start of the J/80s and HKPN boats.

而J/80s 和 H K PN船 隊 的內迎 風 標 A2則座 落 在0.6海 哩

First off on schedule at 1400, in the 9- to 12-knot breeze, were the five IRC boats with Quest opting for the pin and Outrageous bringing up the rear at the committee boat end.

Outrageous, with just eight on board, chose not to fly its spinnaker and brought up the rear behind Ricochet and opted not to start Race 5.

During the briefing for the race management team, there was talk of a southerly outside Port Shelter. Race Officer (RO), Rob Allen, noted reports of 12 to 15 knots but said that a more accurate assessment of conditions would be made when the committee boat, Hebe One, dropped anchor for the start of Race 6 of the Monsoon Winter Series 2021.

No need for a windward mark as all divisions—IRC, J/80, HKPN and Shorthanded—would start together on Course 41.

At the front of the fleet, Ichiban and Talkinghead slipped through Rocky Harbour and the back passage towards Tai Tau Chau.

The course would take them south between Sharp Island and Kau Sai Chau towards Port Shelter. But, with the wind easing to 5 knots, the RO decided to shorten course at Green Beacon and avoid a slow beat down the narrow passage into open water.

Heading into choppy water just outside Hebe Haven, the committee boat, Hebe One, soon dropped anchor on 11 December, to prepare for the final two races of the Monsoon Winter Series 2021. The series began on 23 October 2021 and forms part of the Monsoon Series 2021-2022. This, in turn, consists of the Winter Series, Spring Cup and Spring Series—a total of 12 days of islands races and windward / leewards.

At 1355, the countdown began for the five IRC entries and eight Sportsboats. Overenthusiasm got the better of Ricochet, Phoenix and Carter USM and all were called OCS. Despite a horn for individual recalls, none of them returned. Talkinghead and Goddess, meanwhile, were having a tussle at the committee boat but were soon heading up to the black mark near the mouth of Port Shelter.

As soon as the last boat in HKPN, Ma Cherie 2e, had rounded the A2 mark, the RO had the support boats move the top marks in a little to 0.6 and 0.5 nautical miles. This, he estimated, would allow for a quicker, yet no less competitive, race and gave crews time to make it ashore and prepare for the evening’s celebrations.

船隻將最高的標誌移至0.6和0.5海里。而 他估計，這將使比賽的節奏更快速，同時 又不減箇中的競爭力，亦能給予船員們有 更 寬 裕 的時間上 岸，以為 晚 上 的慶祝 活 動作準備。 下午3時20 分，IRC 和Sportsboats的船 隻均被派出，而五分鐘後，同樣地J/80和 HKPN船隻也被派出了。

BOXING DAY TREASURE HUNT 2021 聖誕尋寶同樂日 It was a grey, bleak morning with quite a chill in the air. Eleven boats had signed up for the Hebe Haven Yacht Club’s annual Boxing Day Treasure Hunt, with a good turnout—given the conditions, of eight yachts and around 60 participants.

這是一個灰暗而帶有一股 寒風的早上。11艘船隻已報 名參加白沙灣 遊 艇會的年 度 聖 誕 尋 寶 同 樂日，在 現 時情況下，慶幸最後仍有8 艘遊艇和大約60個參加者 參與。

As there was no quiz this year, an exercise in boat handling skills was included instead.

今年沒有考核，反而以處理 船隻技巧的練習來代替。

Four marks were laid in Sai Kung waters, on which were recorded (allegedly in rather small lettering) the destination (reciprocal bearing and distance) of the next mark of the treasure hunt.

The first mark was laid near the entrance into Hebe Haven near the South Cardinal Beacon. The second was close to the southern corner of Sharp Island, in the channel between Sharp and Kau Sai Chau.

The third was located off the north shore in the channel between Yim Tin Tsai and the Sai Kung Peninsula and the last off the east coast of Kau Sai Chau, across from Tai She Wan (Snake Bay), with the finish nearby.

Lazy Piggy crosses the finish line

First to approach the finish was Bridget Chan’s Minnie the Moocher, well ahead of the anticipated finish time. This meant the Event Managers, Joyce Har and Chris Howarth, had to lay the finish line and – 30 metres in front of it—a yellow mark for the boat handling skills test. But, with Minnie fast approaching, the ODM could not be positioned properly. This made two of the four skill test options—Backwards Sailing (C) from the finish line to the yellow mark for 21 points and a Figure of 8 and Backward Sailing (D) for 30 points—a lot more challenging.

Skill test A was a Figure of 8 (15 points) and B, mainsail reefing while approaching the finish.

Having reached the finish line, Minnie completed its forward Figure of 8. Lazy Piggy was the next to arrive but, while completing its Figure of 8, dropped a boat hook overboard and had to recover it.

Then came the tinsel decorated Ichiban. The crew decided on the Backward Figure of 8—quite an accomplishment! Next to arrive was the J/80, Jelik 6, which, as explained by the skipper Clayton Yeh, had encountered problems with a broken outhaul.

首先接近終點的是Bridget Chan的Minnie the Moocher，遠遠比預期的完成時間 早。這意味着活動經理Joyce Har 和Chris Howarth，需要先放置終點線---距離

技巧測試A是8字形航行(15分) 和技巧測試A是當接近終點時收起主帆。

置距離浮標未能準確定位。這令四個技巧測試選項中的其中兩個---由終點線到 黃色浮標的向後航行(C) 獲得21分，八字形航行和向後航行(D) 獲得30分---來得 更加挑戰性。

到達終點線後，Minnie 完成了前進的 8 字形航行。下一個到達的是Lazy Piggy ，但當 完成航行8 字形時，不小心將一個船鉤掉到了船上，一定要把它找回來。

Finally, the tinsel and floral-decorated catamaran Abiders arrived just before the 1300 cut-off and commendably completed its manual main reefing as they approached the finish.

然後緊接的是以金屬線裝飾的Ichiban。船員決定8字型向後航行---是相當厲害 的成就! 下一艘到達的是J/80, Jelik 6, 正如船長Clayton Yeh解釋一樣，正面對帆 繩索損壞的問題。

All participants then headed to High Island (Yau Lei) Seafood Restaurant for lunch where there was a judging for the best dressed Santa fender and prize-giving ceremony.

HEBE DRAGONS CHRISTMAS PARTY 2021 The snowman was standing regally at the entrance to the Garden Bar to welcome guests to the Hebe Dragons Sailing Centre Christmas & Awards Party 2021, on Thursday evening, 23 December 2021.

2021 年 12 月 23 日晚上，我們的雪人莊嚴地站在花園酒吧的入口，迎接著來參與 Hebe Dragons 帆船運動中心 2021 年聖誕派對暨頒獎晚會的來賓。

The ringing of a bell announced the arrival of Santa Claus, who settled centre stage besides the decorated Christmas tree. There he called for young dinghy sailors and their parents to join him for a seasonal photograph.

隨著鐘聲響起，聖誕老人來到 了！他安頓在舞台中央，旁邊 有著五光十色的聖誕樹作伴。 他呼喚著年輕的小艇水手和他 們的父母一起拍攝應節的照片 以作紀念。

Meanwhile, the sailors had a chance to have their log books and certificates updated by their instructors.

與此同時，水手們亦有機會讓他 們的教練更新航海日誌和證書。

Rear Commodore (Sail Training), Harvey Jessop, then welcomed everyone and explained the Club’s Sailing Pathway which provides an opportunity for 7- to 8-yearold Optimist sailors to progress to the Elite Dragons Squad and even join the Hong Kong Sports Institute national sailing teams. Three youngsters – Peter Jessop, Daniel Chan and Tommy Wong – who have recently been invited to join the Institute were introduced.

稍後，帆船訓練副會長Harvey

He went on to give details of the Spanish hand-crafted Astro Optimist dinghy that he has donated to the club. Head Racing Coach, Alfred Okoth, will select a worthy youngster who will have the use of the dinghy for the next year. The selection is expected to take place in April.

Commenting on the Club’s commitment to encouraging development of youth sailing over the past four years, the staff of the Sailing Centre were recognised, including the Manager, Rob Allen, Head Coach, Alfie, along with the Instructors, including Clement Lam (Green Fleet Coach).

過去四年遊艇會承諾鼓勵發展青 少年帆船運動，令帆船中心的工 作人員受到認可，包括經理Rob Allen，主教練Alfie，以及包括 Clement Lam (Green Fleet教練)。

Musical statues

Guests were then served with hot dogs, fries, ice cream and chocolate brownies with free flow orange squash. All sailors were issued with rash vests and T-shirts.

This was followed by Peter Jessop and Seb van Ommeron’s talk about the Hebe Dragons and the Youth Worlds in Italy.

The youngsters were divided into seven teams and, with formalities over, the games began.

The first involved four of the parents of each of the teams being wrapped in toilet paper in a fun magical snowman challenge. After that was a musical chairs session with chairs replaced by parents’ knees. Very entertaining and very funny! The teams returned to their tables where, having studied a schematic of the Sailing Pathway, they were required to memorise it and then reproduce it.

The evening concluded with a dancing musical statues competition when the dancers, parents and children, had to freeze when the music stopped. This was won by the Abel and Clothier families.

聖誕派對為客人提供熱狗、薯條、冰淇淋和巧克力布朗尼和無限添飲的橙汁，而所有水手均獲 發緊身衣和短袖T裇。

Points were awarded to each of the teams based on their performances in each of the games, with the undisputed overall winner Team 1, the G.O.A.T.S.

緊隨其後的是Peter Jessop和Seb van Ommeron的演講，主題圍繞著 Hebe Dragons 和意大利 的Youth Worlds。 一連串的分享過後，歡樂的聖誕比賽終於開始了！年輕人及小朋友被分成七隊，第一個進行的

Another competition was to guess the weight of the snowman whose actual weight was 8.4kg. Paulo and Eliza came closest with guesses of 8.7kg to be worthy winners.

遊戲是神奇雪人挑戰，當中每隊的四名父母被包裹在衛生紙中。

接下來，便是一個經典的遊

戲：一把音樂椅，但原先的椅子以父母的膝蓋取替，非常有趣！ 完成第二個遊戲後，他們便回 到座位上進行下一個遊戲，玩法主要是記住航行路徑的示意圖，然後再嘗試複製它。 晚上則以舞蹈音樂雕像比賽作為結束，當音樂停頓時，舞者、父母和孩子要馬上定格。 贏家分

It proved a fun evening demonstrating the Club’s commitment to youth sailing and the excellent team it now has in place, which is beginning to reap success with the performances of the young sailors, including Patrick Feng, winner of the Hong Kong Race Week and Laser Nationals.

別是亞伯和克洛蒂爾家族。每隊根據他們在每場比賽中的表現獲得相應積分，無可爭議的總冠 軍由第一隊G.O.A.T.S. 取得！而另一場比賽中，參賽者需猜測雪人的重量。Paulo 和 Eliza 以 最 接近的8.7 公斤的體重成為獲勝者（實際體重為 8.4 公斤）。 這一切都證明了這是一個愉快的晚上，年輕的水手們獲得了一直以來辛勤地工作的回報，同時 亦展現出遊艇會對青年帆船運動的承諾及回報，當中包括在香港賽艇週及Laser Nationals獲得 冠軍的Patrick Feng。

NEW YEAR'S DAY BEACH BARBECUE 2022 元旦沙灘燒烤日 From its informal beginnings in the 1980s, the Hebe Haven Yacht Club’s annual beach barbecue is now a permanent fixture on the Club’s social calendar. Taking place on New Year’s Day at Hap Mun Bay Beach on Sharp Island—Hong Kong’s smallest island country park—and regularly attracts more than 100 members, their families and friends. 從 1980 年代的非正式開始，白沙灣遊艇會年度沙灘燒烤活動已成為了本會必備的社交活動之一。 元旦燒烤活動在位於橋咀島的廈門灣舉行，是香港最小的郊野公園，活動每年都會吸引超過 100 位 會員和其家人朋友參與。

The beach faces west and is fortunate to have a landing pier and basic facilities, including showers and toilets, provided by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department. The beach also features several barbecue pits but the Club tries, for as long as anyone can remember, to occupy the southern section of the beach where the facilities are more limited. BBQ grills, charcoal, forks, food and drink were carried across the beach and camp was established. The fires were lit and drinks were served. Those suffering from the excesses of the previous night took a while to get into the swing of things but, by midday, most had recovered and the party was on its way.

沙灘面向西面，擁有完善碼頭及基本設施，包括由康文

In previous years, the Club engaged the services of kaido operators from Pak Sha Wan to ferry people back and forth but, this year, a new service was introduced. Hebe One, the Club’s 43-foot powercat, took people from the dock out to the bay while two P4 sampans ferried them ashore. When the party was over, Hebe One took them home again, all for a reasonable HK$ 50 per head.

在過往幾年，本會曾聘請街渡服務來接送人們來回白沙

The first group arrived at 1130 and included newly installed GM, Paul Arkwright, dressed in a dinner suit and wearing trainers, ready to serve cocktails and mulled wine to all who needed perking up.

署提供的淋浴設施及洗手間，海灘還設有數個燒烤設 施。不過只要有任何人記得，本會曾嘗試去使用設施有 限的沙灘南部，可是最後選擇更舒適的西面沙灘。人們 準備了燒烤架、炭包、燒烤叉、食物和飲料並帶到沙灘 去，而「營地」亦逐漸建好。營火被燃點起來，人們紛 紛享用著提供的飲料，那些因前一晚的過度勞累的朋友 花了一些時間去適應，慶幸到了中午大部份人都恢復狀 態，而派對也開始了！

灣和碼頭，不過今年推出了一項新服務。這正是由本會 會船Hebe One，船身43英尺Powercat型號，由碼頭接送 人們到海灣，再利用兩架P4舢舨船接載到岸上。當派對 結束後，Hebe one 會船再次載他們回到碼頭，每人也只 收取合理的50元。 第一組在11:30時到達，包括新任總經理Paul Arkwright, 他 穿上晚禮服配以運動鞋，準備提供雞尾酒和香料熱紅酒給 那些需要提神的人。

Out in the bay, a steady flow of boats began arriving. After dropping anchor, crews came ashore and joined the fun. By midday, there were a dozen boats of all shapes and sizes, power and sail.

在海灣外面，船隻陸陸續續地開始抵達。船員們在拋錨 之後上岸並加入派對當中。到了中午，已有十幾艘不同形 狀、大小、力量和帆的船隻。

The event was an opportunity to get members together from different backgrounds and to celebrate the New Year in a relaxed and friendly way.

This year, the Club decided to donate 25% of the bar’s takings to the Sailing Development Fund and members were free to bring their own food, including the traditional roast pig cooked to perfection by chef Claude Yuen.

今次活動是給予機會去聚集來自不同背景的成員，一起 以輕鬆和諧的方式去慶祝新年。今年，本會決定捐贈酒吧 收入的 25% 予航海發展基金。會員當天攜帶了自己的食 物，當中更有廚師 Claude Yuen 精心烹煮的傳統燒乳豬。

Missing this year were some of the stalwarts from the past. Mark and Juliet Ashton were in Langkawi awaiting an opportunity to come back and Kay Patterson had family matters to attend to. They were truly missed.

今年有些過去的常客缺席了。Mark 和 Juliet Ashton 仍在

Nevertheless, throughout the day, more than 100 people joined the fun and ex-commodore, CK Chan, was pleased with the turnout. He would like to see more expats showing up, though, and says they make the event special. In the past, more than 80% would be foreigners but this year it was the other way round.

即使如此，當天仍有超過100人參加了這活動，前會長 CK

The venue is not too far away—all the more reason to get out there and have fun. The HHYC team put in a huge effort to ensure that everyone had a great time and a strong start to 2022.

場地並不是太遠，因此去那裡享受變得更有理由。本會各

蘭卡威等待機會回來，而Kay Patterson需處理一些家庭事 務。真的很想念他們。

Chan對這出席人數也感到滿意。不過，他希望日後會看 到更多外籍人士出現，並表示會在來年讓活動變得更加 特別。過去超過80%的參加者是外國人，但今年情況正 好相反。

員工付出了巨大的努力，以確保每個人度過愉快的時光， 同時為 2022 年帶來美好的開始。

HK$100,000 of this was raised by our amazing senior sailing volunteers who give so much to what we do. They, for the first time, entered their first race at this prestigious event with two boats and were also invaluable as the Stall Team looking after the sign on and off the water and everything else over the weekend. ​ The Para Warrior 1 team from Sailability, crewed by some of our amazing para sailors won the prize for the fastest average lap time of the event. An amazing feat. The same team also finished first on time and came second in the event overall which takes account of sailing times plus funds raised.

教育觀光團是為新船員們與其 家人、朋友或照顧者一起乘坐 雙體船前往西貢水域的地理之 旅。對某些人來說，這將會是 一生的旅程；圍繞着水邊的生 活，並從海上欣賞到香港的自 然美景。

The programme has provided a two-way street for those involved; giving and receiving whilst enriching and changing the lives of everyone who joins us.

這計劃為所有參加者達到雙向的效 益，付出和接受，同時亦豐富和改 變每一位加入我們的朋友的生活。

ERIC’S JOURNEY WITH SAILABILITY Eric 在航能香港的旅程 Growing up, Eric was enthusiastic about water sports, running the marathon, and hiking. During his college years, he won a prize for an open windsurfing race whilst working part-time as a lifeguard at a swimming pool.

By Lydia Lui

在長大後，Eric熱衷於水上活動、跑馬拉松和行山活動。 他在大學時代時，曾在一個公開滑浪風帆比賽中獲獎，同 時亦是游泳池的兼職救生員。 不幸的是，2014年的一場單車意外使他永久傷殘，包括

Unfortunately, a bicycle accident in 2014 rendered him permanently disabled as the result of in a traumatic brain injury to the left side, loss of vision in his right eye, mild paralysis and incapability to speak. After the accident, Eric worked tirelessly during physical therapy, which helped to greatly reduce the paralysis on his right side, so much so that he can once again walk without aids.

左側腦外傷、右眼失明、輕度癱瘓和不能說話。意外發 生後，Eric在物理治療期間仍孜孜不倦地工作，有助減 輕右邊的癱瘓情況，所以他即使在沒有輔助下，再次可 以走路。 Eric一直被認為是友善的，會幫助人的和擅於交際的，可 是這次意外所引致語言障礙大大影響了他的社交生活，導 致曾一度停工。

Before, Eric was known as a friendly, helpful and sociable guy. However, the speech deficiency resulting from the accident greatly impacted his social life, causing him to shut down for a while.

在2016年，Eric和太太在一場共融龍舟活動認識了來自航 能香港比賽團隊的Lung。他們受邀參加24小時小艇賽， 以Hansa 303 小艇航行，是專為傷殘人士而特別設計。自 此之後，Eric和太太都會以學生和義工身份參加航能周六

In 2016, Eric and his wife met Lung from the Sailability racing team at an inclusive dragon boat event. They were invited to participate in a 24Hour Charity Dinghy Race, sailing a Hansa 303 dinghy specifically designed for people with disabilities.

Since then, Eric and his wife have participated in the Sailability Saturday Programme as students and volunteers and Eric has subsequently joined the para racing team.

計劃，其後他亦加入了殘疾比賽隊。 在航能香港的過去這幾年，Eric

笑容並以個人風格去主動與教練和隊友溝通。 他不僅享受航海運動帶來的樂趣，甚至能從隊友身上學到 了堅持，努力為贏得比賽而奮鬥！

Over the past few years with Sailability, Eric has gone from being a passive outlier—speaking fewer than 10 sentences in six months, to always having a smiling face and actively communicating with coaches and teammates in his own style.

Not only does he enjoy the fun of sailing, but he has learnt from his teammates to persevere and fight to win the race!

PRACTICE OF

EXISTENTIALISM 實踐存在主義

By Carolyn Chan, Sailability volunteer

I came across many smart and successful people when I was teaching in universities and conducting training for corporations. I supported students who were striving to make their futures bright and successful and professionals who were progressing up the career ladder. At that time, I was oblivious of the struggles disabled people faced in their lives, that is, until my friend introduced me to Sailability.

As a Sailability volunteer, I get to sail with a diverse range of people: the autistic, the visually impaired, the underprivileged and the physically and intellectually disabled. I’ve found that when they are out on the water, alone in a dinghy with me, they tend to open up and share their life stories. One confided in me about her failed surgery and how after another failed operation, she lost her leg. As she spoke, I was amazed by her soft calm voice. I could not begin to imagine the struggles she endured, but I admire her bravery and how she has adjusted to life-altering setbacks.

Another story that springs to mind took place on a different day, when we were sailing far out and catching the breeze, another member told me she had found a reason to live. She was facing hardships and almost wanted to give up. I was relieved to hear that her stress was finally released.

As a volunteer, what I can offer is to be a listener, a companion while taking some time out at sea. In return, I gain perspective on life, broaden my horizons and nurture my compassion. In actuality, what I perceive volunteering in Sailability to be, is the practice of existentialism—people creating their own values and determine a meaning for their life.

在我任職大學教授以及進行不同企業培訓的期間，我遇到了許多既聰穎又成功的人。我十分支持那些為使自己前途更光明和成功而奮鬥的學生，更支持 那些在自己職涯上努力向上的專業人士。那時候的我，還沒有意識到殘疾人士在生活中所面臨的困難，直至有一天，我的朋友向我介紹了航能香港。 作為一名航能香港的義工，我有機會與不同類型的人一起航行：自閉症患者、視障人士、弱勢社群、身體和智力殘疾人士。我發現到，當他們在水 上，和我一起獨自坐在小艇時，他們往往都會敞開心扉，與我分享他們生活中的一點一滴。就好像有一次，他們其中一位向我述說著她經歷了連續兩 次的手術失敗後，如何失去了她的腿。可是她話語裡所透露著溫柔且平靜的聲音，才是真的震撼了我。我無法想像她所承受的艱辛和掙扎，但我衷心 欽佩她的勇氣，和她如何適應及改變生活中的挫折。 另一個浮現在我腦海中的故事，則發生在另一天，當我們向著遠處航行，乘風而去時，另一個成員告訴我她找到了活下去的理由了。當時的她正面 臨著困境且幾乎想放棄。在聽到她的壓力終於被釋放之後，我終於鬆了一口氣。 作為一名義工，我能做到的是成為一位傾聽者，一個能在海上與他們共渡的陪伴者。而作為回報，我獲得了對生活的不同看法，這擴闊了我的視野，更 培養出我的同理心。實際上，對我來說在航能香港中成為義工，是一種存在主義的實踐，能使人們能創造出自己的價值，決定自己生活的真正意義。

CLUB UPDATE

We welcomed 2022 with many of our traditional events. The Boxing Day Treasure Hunt on 26 December attracted 10 boats with almost a hundred participants— a record high for this event and the New Year Sailaway BBQ on New Year’s Day. We hope that we will be able to run more fun cruising events for our members soon.

Cancellation Due to the return of social distancing measures, we were forced to suspend the Kowloon Cup—our Club’s first keelboat regatta of 2022. We all hope that our Monsoon Spring Series—whose first race will be on 23 February, can take place as scheduled.

BRIDGET CHAN Rear Commodore—Sailing

Volunteering As you may know, volunteers are crucial to organising our racing events. We need volunteers to take on a range of roles from managing committee boat races to laying marks during a race. To prepare for the upcoming summer racing season, we plan to organize various training sessions for those who are interested in becoming volunteers. If you would like to learn more about racing and meet new people, please contact the SC to sign up as a volunteer— no experience required!

Sailor Awards Night is back After a one-year suspension, we’re pleased to announce that the annual Sailor Awards Night is back and is scheduled for 25 May this year. On the night, we will recognize the best-performing sailors, dinghies and keelboat racing and of course, our volunteers. We look forward to seeing you there.

Happy Lunar New Year Lastly, we wish you all a prosperous and healthy Year of the Tiger!

我們舉辦了許多傳統活動去迎接2022年。早前在12月26日舉行的聖誕尋寶同樂日， 一共吸引了10艘船，接近100位參加者，也創下了這活動和元旦航海燒烤日參加人數 的最高紀錄。我們希望能夠接下來為會員舉辦更多的巡遊活動。 活動取消 由於恢復實施社交距離措施，九龍盃賽事被逼暫停，這是本會2022年首個龍骨船比 賽。我們都希望春季系列賽能如期地在2月23日繼續舉行第一場賽事。 義工 正如大家所知，義工對於我們組織賽事活動是非常關鍵的。我們需要義工去擔任不 同的角色，由管理本會賽事到在賽事期間設置標記。為準備接下來的夏令賽季，我 們計劃為有興趣成為義工的朋友舉行不同的培訓課程。如果您想了解更多賽事和認 識新朋友，請聯絡SC去登記成為義工，亦歡迎無經驗的人申請。 帆船之夜 - 年度頒獎典禮回歸 經過一年的中止後，我們很高興地宣佈帆船之夜年度頒獎典禮能復辦，並將於2022年 5月25日舉行。我們將會在該晚表揚最佳表現船員、小帆船和龍骨船賽事，當然還有 我們的義工朋友。我們期望到時與大家見面。 農曆新年快樂 再次，恭祝大家虎年心想事成，身體健康！

CLUB UPDATE

To prepare for our future plans to further enhance the safety of the marina, from February to May this year, we have arranged a seabed survey project to understand how the seabed has changed over the years and to collect accurate data to assess the need for maintenance, repair or replacement of piles. During this process, to facilitate the essential ground investigation works, some members using our mooring facilities may be affected, and their vessel may need to be temporarily relocated. We thank affected members for their understanding and cooperation, and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Prior to Chinese New Year, the large white crane requires essential maintenance and repairs to ensure continued compliance with safety regulations. We have temporarily arranged for the hire of a third-party mobile crane to provide boat lift services for members in the meantime.

EDDY LO Rear Commodore—Operations

During the pandemic, the delivery of parts for some of our plant and their shipping times have been adversely affected, which has had knock-on effects for the Club.

The new smaller crane (to replace the green crane), which has been ordered from Italy, has encountered delays in fabrication (due to late delivery of parts) and will likely also experience similar delays in delivery. After the crane finally arrives in Hong Kong (anticipated around May 2022), it will be tested and commissioned for use in the boatyard.

In line with the Club’s CSR, and to help with environmental protection issues, and further reduce fuel costs, HHYC has begun to research and collect information on the feasibility of utilising electric sampans. If members have any information or advice, please share them with Matthew Bromley our Operations, Facilities & Project Manager.

Throughout the pandemic, we have managed to maintain normal boat lift and boatyard services. To ensure a comfortable and safe environment for everyone, and give everyone peace of mind, all members are requested to follow the government's epidemic prevention guidelines when entering the Club.

Reminders on the parking and mooring rules of the Club • There is strictly no parking for guests on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays • The maximum mooring times allowable on the different pontoons must be adhered to (see below). Members found to be occupying mooring spaces beyond the allowable times will be subject to penalties and we have hired a Dockmaster to assist members in arranging boatyard work and help prevent overstaying on club pontoons.

Pontoon use at the Club Yellow sector: Strictly no mooring at any time—restricted to club use only Green sector: Maximum 24-hours stay, with a maximum of two stays per month.

Red & white sector: Waiting zone strictly limited to speedboats and vessels awaiting lift to their hardstand spaces. Strictly no overnight mooring.

Blue & white sector: Tenders only (max tender length 3.1m/10 ft with a single engine of maximum 3kw/4HP and displaying current club tender Label) Blue sector: Causal mooring for limited periods •

Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays—max 2 hours

•

Monday – Friday (midnight)—max 24 hours

All other berthing areas are allocated by the Club and cannot be moored on at any time.
