REPORTS

With the easing of restrictions in Hong Kong, sail training has resumed, as has racing; and Sailability is ramping up its activities along with Scallywag. I see that midweek demand for our restaurant is booming. All of this is very reassuring!

Having read most of the articles in this issue of Hebe Jebes, I am touched by the excellent work being done by our management staff and the committees; and they show the real strengths of our Club. This month you will read many touching stories which speak to our heart and soul. I am impressed by the Hebe Jebes team in the superb way that they are portraying the Club’s character.

Whilst speaking of good work, I continue to be so very impressed with the sheer volume of positive initiatives brought forward by the management and staff, the subcommittees and the General Committee.

DON JOHNSTON Commodore

Looking forward, the planning for the 24 HR Charity Dinghy Race is well underway, this signature club event will be held on the weekend starting 31 October 2020.

As always, we are looking for racing teams, sponsors and donors. And the Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled a few weeks later on 12 November 2020 (put the dates in your calendars).

There is still some uncertainty regarding international events in Hong Kong even as far away as December, but our national events are proceeding with gusto. Despite the easing of restrictions here, the pandemic is continuing to cause immense pain and suffering elsewhere in the world, so please do still take care when travel restrictions start to ease.

隨著香港社交距離措施放寬，航海中心運作回復正常，本會就開始舉辦帆 船比賽和航能活動。同時，我看到餐廳對會員來說大受歡迎，需求也是極大 的。這一切都令人很放心！ 我閱讀了今期Hebe Jebes中的大部分文章後，對於我們管理人員和委員會所 做的出色工作，覺得非常感動。他們展示了我們遊艇會的真正實力。這個 月，您將閱讀許多感動人心的故事，這些故事深深地打動了我們的心靈。 而且，Hebe Jebes團隊以令人印象深刻的方式描繪了本會的角色，給我留下 了深刻的印象。 講到良好的工作的同時，不得不提管理層、工作人員、小組委員會和委員會 提出的大量積極措施令我印象深刻。 展望未來，二十四小時慈善小艇賽的籌劃工作正在進行，遊艇會這個著名賽 事將於2020年10月31日開始於週末舉行。與以往一樣，我們正在尋找比賽隊 伍，贊助商和捐贈者。會員周年大會（AGM）計劃在幾週後的2020年11月12日 舉行（請將日期記在您的日曆中）。 即使在12月之前，於香港舉行的國際賽事仍存在一些不確定性，但我們的 國家賽事正在全速進行。儘管香港的限制有所放鬆，但這種流行病仍繼續 在世界其他國家造成巨大的痛苦和折磨，因此，當香港旅行限制開始放寬 時，也要留心各國的情況。 Don Johnston 二零 二零 年 六月十九日

REPORTS

Here’s a progress update on the current and future club works.

New Full-time Project Manager After an extensive search, we’ve been able to select a great candidate to work in the new, and much-needed, role of full-time Project Manager (PM) at the Club.

Mr CY So has accepted our offer and will start working at HHYC on 29 June 2020.

He has over 15 years’ experience in Project Management, is fluent in English and Cantonese, and will work with Rene, the Marine staff and my committee (PWC) to help professionally manage and drive the multiple club projects that we have coming on line. He will work from an interim project office for the time being.

PAUL ARKWRIGHT Vice Commodore

Seawall update The topographical survey of the marina has been completed to ensure the proposed seawall works to be carried out by Aecom fall within Club’s boundary area under the current Lease (PRL)—which I’m pleased to say they do! AECOM is now working with the Marine Office to help organise the required works with the minimum amount of disruption (but of course some is inevitable, so I thank you in advance for your patience and understanding while the repairs are carried out).

They are also resolving discrepancies between the seawall levels at both ends of the marina (i.e. the top of the existing seawall currently runs as a slight slope). They will issue revised design in late June 2020, which, once approved by Club, will be submitted to the Buildings Department (BD).

Marina works One of the first projects you’ll see progressing on the marina will be the installation of interim devices atop the existing piles. This stop-gap solution was recommended

by David Cowe, to help prevent overtopping, while we continue to progress the main pile replacement project. Mid-June should see a trial of one piling sleeve, and after a successful trial, the second batch will then be installed on all piles.

In the long-term, we require a complete pile replacement project to minimise the risk of overtopping; we continue to chase AECOM for the detailed design plan of the revised long-term pile replacement works and the preliminary design and costing for this is due by mid-June. We also require works on the existing ramp down to the pontoons to ensure we have compliant disabled access to the marina.

Access Lift Platform and Garden Bar Project The Buildings Department has approved the plans for the access lift construction, following the AP submission in this regard. Despite the size of the lift being slightly smaller than usual, the contractor and AP have confirmed the lift installation is in full compliance with the standards and acceptable to EMSD (Electrical & Mechanical Services Department). For the 7-metre-high lift structure, different options are being considered in terms of its design and aesthetics.

Enhancing Boat Rack Safety An AP is to be appointed to produce a detailed design for a safety walkway, which complies with the relevant government regulations concerning the alteration and addition works required.

Cameras to monitor sea levels at Club New cameras have been installed on the pontoons to help monitor sea-level changes—particularly during episodes of bad weather. Each camera comes with back-up 7-hour battery life.

REPORTS

July has arrived and we are heading into the peak of the sailing season that obviously had a delayed and slow start due to the pandemic. It’s great to see members’ usage of the Club return to some semblance of normality, albeit with a few government restrictions still in place. We would like to thank all members for their patience and understanding during the last few, what have been very trying months, and we hope that travel restrictions will soon be lifted so summer holidays can be enjoyed by all in the coming months.

The F&B team is ready to take your bookings again for parties, dinners and cruises on Hebe One. We also have plenty of exciting F&B events and promotions, and will introduce some new Summer Season items on our menu. We have replaced our teak wooden chairs on the Terrace, and we are now selling the old ones. For only HK$490, two for HK$800, which are available for viewing in the Garden Bar. Sailing courses are filling up fast and Summer Camps are being booked as our Sail Training Centre is gathering steam for a sailing calendar full of exciting activities.

Keep in an eye on our club calendar displayed on pages 4 – 5 of Hebe Jebes where you can find details of all of our regattas and summer activities.

RENE VERHULST General Manager

It gives me pleasure to introduce to you our new Senior Sail Training Instructor, Ms Patteera Meeyousamsen (‘BaiFearn’ for short). BaiFearn, who is currently ‘locked down’ in quarantine, is a highly-qualified instructor, and she will join the STC team on 1 July. She brings with her a wealth of sailing, coaching and racing experience.

From a very young age she has been sailing in Thailand, her native country, and when she was 11 years old she joined the Thai National Sailing Team—winning many trophies including a Gold Medal at the Asian Games in the Optimist class. For the last two years, immediately prior to joining Hebe, she was the Lead Coach at the Vanhang Sailing Academy in Shenzhen, China.

Another new appointment at Hebe is Mr So Chun Yu (‘CY’ for short) who joins us as our permanent Project Manager and who is more overtly introduced by Paul Arkwright in his report on page 8.

Please join me in congratulating both of them with their appointments and welcoming them to the Hebe Haven Yacht Club family!

With the summer season literally heating up, the club car park (and boatyard) will also fill up again during weekends, and we are asking all our members to be considerate and patient when parking your car. Please follow the instructions of our security team and note that the ‘Full’ sign means it really is full.

A member survey has been prepared and is now almost ready to be sent out to all members, which will be available on our website (link will be provided in a subsequent email). We are asking for your support in taking a few minutes to complete and return it.

Wishing you all a fun and enjoyable summer. Fair winds and safe travels … soon, I hope.

SAILING WITH LOVE

Sailing with Love

讓愛啓航 Words & photography by Camellia Poon

We are delighted to have interviewed Mr and Mrs Kam in mid-April as part of our 25-year membership anniversary celebration event at the Club. He shared with us snippets of his experiences at the Club over the past quarter of a century.

為慶祝白沙灣遊艇會25週年會員誌慶，我們很榮幸

HHYC

小編

Share some of your memorable experiences at the Club since you first joined.

為何當年會加入本會呢？

Mr Kam

甘先生

邀請到會員甘先生接受我們的專訪，分享一下過去 25年在會所的點滴。

I joined the Club in October 1994, and I submitted the application at the beginning of the year, which I remember well because my daughter was born in June that same year. I had some sailing experience before joining the Club—starting out with dinghies and windsurfing. It was good fortune because earlier in the year, around Easter time, I had purchased a 24-foot keelboat at another club, so naturally, I wanted to become a member to learn more about sailing. At Hebe Haven, I started learning more about how to sail a keelboat, as I wanted to choose a sport, which could also facilitate greater interaction with my family at the same time.

沒 記 錯 的 話 我 是 9 4 年 的 年 頭申 請 入會 的，而 同

Mrs Kam

甘太太

If I remember correctly, we signed our daughter up for the HHYC ‘Dinghy Summer Course’ in 2006, and she was attending primary school at the time. Sailing courses at the Club then were not as well developed and systematic as they currently are. Our son, born in 2000, also joined the courses later. Other than the activities offered by the Club, our daughter also participated in sail training offered by the Hong Kong Sailing Federation (Hong Kong Team). While these opportunities were more relaxed than those offered by the Hong Kong Sports Institute, they were still very good options in terms of unleashing sports-related potentials in our children.

年 6月是 女 兒出世。我 在 加入 遊 艇會 之 前已 經 有 航 海的經 驗，一 開始接觸 的是小艇 及 滑 浪 風帆， 而加入白沙灣 遊 艇會可說是機 緣 巧合吧！那時大 概在復 活節 期間，在 其他遊 艇會買了一隻24尺的 ke e l b o a t，因 此 就 順 理 成 章 入會了。後 來，希望 與 家 人 有 更 多互 動 的 運 動 娛 樂，我 才 開 始 接 觸 keelboat（註: 龍骨船)。

沒記錯的話是大約在2006年，我們讓還在上小學的 女兒參加白沙灣遊艇會的暑期小艇課程。記得當年 會所在航海課程還未有全面發展，不像現在那麼有 系統。而我們於2000年出生的兒子在其後也有一起 參與。除了會所活動外，女兒亦有一段時間參與香 港帆船總會的航海訓練(香港隊)。雖然說不上像香 港體育學院般專業，但對發展小朋友體能方面的潛 能，也是一個非常好的選擇。

HHYC

小編

How do today’s sail training and yacht racing programmes compare with those offered back then?

如果將現今跟以前作比較，你會否覺得以前本會的訓練課

Mr Kam

甘先生

程，例如：設計或配套方面，並沒有現在般全面?

In the past, it was much more ad hoc, yacht owners would simply dock their vessels somewhere and go sailing in their spare time. My impression was that yacht racing was not such a popular activity at that time. Later on, there when there was more promotion on dinghy sailing programmes, it started to gain more momentum, and today it easy to see how much this has progressed and we have the Hebe Dragons dinghy team.

以前，就是船主自行把船隻泊岸，閒時就出海玩樂。我印象

HHYC

小編

Have you seen the Club change a lot in the last 25 years?

中Yacht racing (註: 帆船比賽) 都不是那麼普遍，到後期，可 能是各船會對小艇運動大力推廣，讓 這項運動開始愈來愈 普及，就好像現在白沙灣遊艇會小艇賽隊(白沙灣龍隊) Hebe Dragons一樣。

還記得25年前的白沙灣遊艇會嗎? 你會否覺得跟現時的有很 大改變或對比?

Mr Kam

甘先生

Oh yes, it’s very different now. Back then, the facilities were not as comprehensive, the food and beverages were a bit cheaper, and the Club was not very well known.

But those who like sailing all knew about the Club. Since the Government started promoting sailing activities, more and more people got involved in, and today there are many open regattas. I believe there is still more room for the Club to develop itself. I know many friends who, like myself, are getting too old for dinghies, but there are many other options available to choose from at Hebe.

哈哈! 也有一些分別的。當年沒有現在設施那麼完善，餐飲消

HHYC

小編

What made you switch from dinghies to keelboats?

費也沒那麼昂貴，而且知名度也沒有現在那麼高，其實有玩 帆船運動的人也認識本會。隨著政府對運動日益推動，愈來 愈多人接觸和參與航海運動，另外，舉辦帆船公開賽次數較 以前增加，也給予本會有更大的空間發展。我自己年紀大玩 不了小艇，也開始轉玩其他類型的船隻。認識很多和我年紀 相若的朋友，他們都有這樣的轉變!

之前提及的小艇及Keelboat，其實在實際的操作上有沒有很 大的分別呢? 而你為何當初由小艇轉為玩Keelboat呢?

Mr Kam

In terms of size, compared to a keelboat such as a J80, a dinghy has far less space for manoeuvring yourself around inside, and therefore sailing dinghies consumes more energy and is more demanding. In keelboats and larger yachts, you don’t need to move around too much while sailing, so for older people, they are a better option as they’re a little less demanding. The other thing you need to consider is when you have a family or children, dinghies and windsurfing are more for individuals, therefore may not be the best choice for families. Yachts and keelboats, on the other hand, are more suitable for groups of people and encourage interaction between everyone as a team. You can even take your children out to sea for swimming, so it’s fun for everyone. Of course, if you are talking about racing, it’s another matter.

甘先生 以體積來說，小艇比Keelboat小，體積與J80相若，走動 空間細，操作時所需要的體能消耗會相對較大，會比較 辛苦；相反，Keelboat或其他帆船體積較大，在控制船 隻時不需要常常走動，對於一班年紀較大的人士來說， 會相對較輕鬆。另一個主要原因就是當你有家庭的時 候，你就想和家人有一些互動的環節，但無論小艇或是 滑浪風帆，都是比較個人的活動，不太適合一家人參與; 而帆船 (yacht 或 Keelboat) 則是適合團體的活動，即使 小朋友年紀小也不成問題，很適合家庭樂。當然如果談 到競賽，又是另一回事。

SAILING WITH LOVE

HHYC

You’ve been with the Club for 25 years, what are the most interesting and memorable stories you remember?

Mr Kam

小編 在和本會一起成長的25年來，有沒有一些有趣或難忘的事可 以跟大家分享?

My most unforgettable experience would be witnessing two typhoon number 10s. The first one was York in 1999. My first keelboat that was berthed at the Club was completely destroyed by Typhoon York. Vessel owners would do preparation work when typhoon warnings were issued. When the weather was still ok, for example, we would use more ropes to tie the vessel down at the shipyard. The typhoon was simply too strong that year, and we were only able to find our boat, or what was left of it after the weather stabilised. The skeleton of our boat was later recovered in Nam Wai. Comparatively speaking, Typhoon Mangkhut in 2018 was also very strong, but it didn’t cause as much damage.

甘先生

Some people may have forgotten that every 19 years, the Chinese calendar coincides with the solar calendar. The most recent episode took place in 2018 when Mangkhut hit, and it was exactly 19 years after York. This is why we had very vivid memories of both these incidents. As boat owners, the typhoon season worries us the most, but sometimes we can only submit to the will of God. York and Mangkhut both hit Hong Kong on 16 September…19 years apart!

其 實 很 多 人 也 未 必 記 得 ，農 曆 的 曆 法 是 每 1 9 年 一

HHYC

小編

It’s never easy being a boat owner, with so much work to do, but what did you do after you lost your boat to the typhoon?

當然有呀！最難忘的，是經歷了兩次10號風球！第一次是發 生在1999年的颱風約克。當年的颱風把我停泊在會所的第 一隻Keelboat吹至完全破 毁，盡管我們作為船主都會在颱 風預報前作好準備，例如在環境天氣尚許可的情況下預先 用繩把船 繫好在 船塢，但 無奈當年風力實在 太強勁，我們 要在天氣穩定後才尋回已被吹散至南圍的「船駭」！相比之 下，2018的颱風的威力雖然也十分強勁，但印象中傷亡卻沒 有約克那麼厲害。

次，新 舊 曆 的 日 子 會 重 疊，對 上 一 次 發 生 在 2 0 1 8 年 的 颱 風 山 竹，就 是 剛 好 與 約 克 相 隔 1 9 年，都 是 發 生 在 同 月 同 日 的。所 以 我 們 的 印 象 都 是 非 常 的 深 刻 (註: 十號風球約克及山竹均在9月16日發生)，而作為船主，最 擔心的也莫過於是颱風的季節了，有時都要「聽天由命」的。

嘩！真的意想不到！山竹發生的時候我們也很深印象，但相比 起你們玩船的，應該會更加受影響。看來做一個船主也不容 易，功夫也是蠻多的！在那次颱風之後就損失了一艘船，對吧?

Mr Kam

甘先生

In fact, I have had three boats over the past 25 years. The first one was the 24-footer that got destroyed by York. The second one was a 28-foot Impala, which was a bit old and in need of a bit of TLC. About ten years ago, I started spending more time racing on my friend’s boat, so I decided to sell my own boat. Then later, I purchased my third boat, which I have been using in recent years. I am about to retire, so I will now spend most of my free time sailing.

也是。屈指一算在25年來我也當了3艘船的船主。第一艘就是

HHYC

小編

What are your views on member benefits at the Club?

剛說被颱風約克吹破24尺的一艘，體積較小的; 而第二艘就是 28尺的Impala，大概10年前，由於本身較舊我又沒認真打理。 於是我把自己的一艘都賣掉了，所以就用朋友的船去玩賽船 了; 第三艘則是我近幾年出海的那一艘，正值我又臨近退休， 就可以騰出更多時間玩船了。

就會員福利而言，你對本會有沒有其他特別的意見? 例如你會 對那一方面的會員福利較感興趣?

Mr Kam

This is a yacht club, so I believe most people join because they love sailing. So I don’t have much to say about optimising member benefits. I love sailing, and that’s the main reason why I joined. I think it’s great how the HHYC focuses its attention and efforts on sailing-related matters, while some other clubs need to rely on various other activities to try and attract members. It may not be a bad idea to diversify, but going overboard in terms of diversification might just be putting the cart before the horse. HHYC is conveniently located, surrounded by beautiful scenery and clear water. All my friends think that it is very suitable for both shortand long-distance sails.

In terms of food and beverages, we don’t have too many members, and we can’t change the menu too often simply to suit individual tastes. Overall speaking, I think the quality of our restaurant is acceptable.

26

甘先生 作為一所遊艇會，我相信加入的人都是喜愛航海的，所以我 對優化會員福利方面沒有什麼太大意見。我也是很熱愛航海 的，這亦是我加入本會的主要原因。白沙灣遊艇會集中在航 海方面的東西我認為是很好的，不像別的會所需要以其他各 式各樣的會員活動作招徠。當然，若有其他方面的活動﹑福 利也可以考慮優化，但如果做得太多元化反而會顯得有點本 末倒置。我身邊的朋友都一致認為，白沙灣遊艇會位於西貢 的地理位置很優越又方便，環境水質又好，既適合長程及短 程的航海活動。 會所餐廳餐飲方面，畢竟我們遊艇會會員人數不算太多，因此 在我而言亦不能因應個別會員的口味而經常更改。整體上我認 為餐廳質素是可以接受的。

HHYC

小編

Why would you recommend people join HHYC?

會否介紹身邊的人加入白沙灣遊艇會呢? 原因又是什麼?

Mr Kam

甘先生

I would talk to them about the characteristics of every club. If sailing is their focus, HHYC should be the first choice. If they enjoy various types of social activities, however, perhaps other clubs would suit them better. For those who don’t sail or get seasick when they do sail—then I certainly wouldn’t recommend our Club to them! It really depends on individual taste.

我會跟對方講述每家會所的特色。如對方是希望專注 航海

HHYC

小編

What would you suggest for those who have never tried sailing or marine activities before?

的，首選是白沙灣遊艇會；但如對方是較喜愛各式各樣的社 交活動，或者別的會所會較適合。有些人不愛出海，甚或會 暈船浪，當然不會向對方推薦呢！主要看個人口味吧！

如果身邊有人從未玩過航海或水上活動的經驗，你會不會有 什麼好的建議? 應該如何上手呢? 例如報一個航海課程之類?

Mr Kam

I would bring that person out to sea! If we go as a group, they can get a feel of what sailing is like, and then decide if they are interested. The operation model of sailing activities in Hong Kong is very different compared to that in mainland China. In mainland China, this is considered a business—and people pay for access. In Hong Kong, sailing is not very popular, and unless you know someone, who sails, it’s quite hard to get access to this activity. It’s great that the Club now runs certain open courses, and together with the Annual Open Day organised by the Sail Training Centre and dinghy races, so that members of the public may find it easier to learn more about sailing.

Note: the Club now offers advanced RYA Power Boat, Safety Boat, and Jetski (PWC) courses in June, July and August. The public can also sign up for these courses.

甘先生 我覺得首先會帶他(她)出海吧！或者是連群結隊讓對方 體驗一下航海活動的感覺，看看他 (她) 有沒有興趣。我 個人認為香港的營運模式與內地不一樣，內地把這種玩 意當作是一門生意一樣，相反，香港的確是較冷門的， 除非身邊有朋友喜歡航海活動，否則是較難接觸這項運 動。幸好現在會所有開辦一些公開的課程，航海訓練中 心每年舉辦開放日及小艇賽事等，向公眾人士也有一個 入門的途徑。 Note: 最近會所在6、7及8月舉辦RYA高級快艇﹑救生艇及PWC（個 人船隻)–水上電單車課程，非會員的公眾人士也可以報名。 27

SAILING WITH LOVE

Perhaps due to the influence of advertisements and TV drama series, Hong Kong people seem to only know about pleasure yachts, while there are actually many different types of vessels. You can choose what is most suitable for you after gaining more knowledge. Serendipity may create opportunities that surprise you. I had the chance to participate in an Outward Bound Hong Kong course, and that was how I got to know about larger sailboats. I still remember that yacht was called Ji Fung. Courses back then were not as systematic or standardised, so I applied what I learnt in the dinghy courses to other boats. Sailing activities in Hong Kong are less commercialised compared to those offered on the mainland, so, if you are interested, you may need a friend to refer you.

香港人可能受廣告或電視劇影響，對「玩船」的概念，大部分人

Note: Ji Fung, Outward Bound Hong Kong’s 132-foot brig, achieved outstanding results in the 1997 Tall Ships Race and proudly sailed back to the city on 24 May. The race was held in Osaka, and it was the first sail training race in the North Pacific. On the day of its return, Ji Fung and its crew were greeted with cheers and commendations from hundreds of excited citizens along the TST Waterfront. The race covered a total distance of 2,600km (1,400 nautical miles), taking the route from Hong Kong, Okinawa, Kagoshima and finally Osaka. Ji Fung in Chinese refers to the unwavering spirit and started off very strong in the race and truly impressed her competitors. After nearly a month of sailing, Ji Fung finally completed its historical mission and won several awards and recognitions, including overall champion for class AII/B, the fastest tall boat to complete the race, the best sail training award, the only boat that offered local community services, and the only tall ship that crossed the Osaka finishing line with its sail up. Most of the 108 crew members were under the age of 25 with zero sailing experience. Some of the crew members joined the race with individual or group sponsorships.

Note: 全長132呎的香港外展訓練學校雙桅帆船"志風號"在一九

HHYC

Huge thanks to Mr and Mrs Kam for their time and their sharing, which truly inspiring. The retired secondary school teacher captures the essence of sailing—it isn’t just about satisfying personal interests; it’s also about sharing love and an affinity that helps keep families and friends together.

腦海中浮現只有「遊艇」這一範疇。除了遊艇以外，還有很多其 他不同種類的船!

對船種有基本認識後，就可以因應個人喜好

再作選擇。有時一個偶然，在自己也未必知曉情況下會創造很 多機會，就像以前我也是一個機緣下參加了Outward Bound的 課程(香港外展訓練學校)。當年就是 這樣，得到初次接觸了大 型的帆船機會，還記得那艘船叫‘志風號’。以前學習並沒有現在 那麼有系統及規範化，我在學會小艇後，就把相關的航海知識 套用在其他船隻上。香港的航海運動而言，他的運作的確沒有 內地般商業化。如果要於本地接觸這項運動，就得依賴身邊朋 友的推薦等等。

九七年國際高桅帆船比賽中取得美滿的成績後，在五月二十四 日凱旋回港。這項比賽在大阪舉行，是北太平洋區首次舉辦的 航海訓練式高桅帆船比賽。在‘志風號’返港當日，尖沙咀海旁有 數以百計的市民列隊歡迎，向這艘載譽歸來的帆船和其船員熱 烈歡呼和喝采。這項比賽的路程全長超過 2600 公里 (1400海 里)，由香港出發，途經沖繩島、鹿兒島，終站是大阪。"志風"的 意思是"堅定不屈的精神"。比賽甫開始，"志風號"已表現出色， 令所有對手驚歎不已。其後，經過差不多一個月的海上航行，" 志風號"終於完成其歷史性的旅程，並取得多個獎項和榮譽，其 中包括：第AII/B組總冠軍；最快完成全程的高桅帆船；最佳帆 船訓練大獎；唯一在當地推行社會服務計劃的船隻；以及唯一 張帆越過大阪終點線的高桅帆船。在船上 108 名船員中，很多 都在 25歲以下，而且缺乏航海經驗，有部分是獲得個人或團體 贊助而參與比賽的。

小編 聽君一夕話，勝讀百年書。對於沒有航海經驗的小編來說，能夠跟 退休前曾是中學教師的甘先生交流，絕對獲益良多。與其說漂洋 出海是為了滿足個人興趣，甘先生的航海經驗及例子更讓小編從 出海體會到愛和親情，讓甘先生一家人和朋友的關係更加密切。

MEET THE WINNERS OF THE SAILORS AWARDS 2019

Meet the Winners of the Sailors Awards 2019 2019 年度傑出海員優勝者 Words & photography by Camellia Poon

Mr Seb von Ommeren

Hebe Dragons Sailor of the Year "Thank you so much for providing everything to help me improve my sailing career. Thank you to Alfred for coaching me. Thank you to Antonio, although he has left the Club, but thank you so much to him. Thank you to Rob for making sure everything is organised properly and thank you so much for everything in the Sail Training Centre which helps make it such a great experience at Hebe."

「謝謝大家的支持，讓我的帆船生 涯得以不斷提升。感謝Alfred當我 的教練。雖然Antonio已經離開了 遊 艇會，我依然要非常感謝他。感 謝Rob井井有條的安排。同時要感 謝帆船訓練中心，讓整個體驗實在 變得非同凡響。」

Ms Heidi Bates

Hebe Dragons Most Improved Sailor "I have been sailing at Hebe for almost four years now. I really want to thank the Club and all the coaches for teaching me to sail and making me who I am through sailing. I also really want to thank my parents for allowing me to participate in many training programmes, and I really try my best in sailing. Thank you!"

「我在白沙灣遊艇會進行帆船 活動，至今已經有四年了。我要 感謝遊 艇會和所有 教練，教導 我 帆 船技 巧，使 我 更 加了解自 己。我也要感謝父母，讓我參與 眾多訓練 課程，我 一定 會全力 以赴。謝謝！」

Mr Joseph Chan 陳錦壎 Sailor of the Year

"The Club has given me a chance to know more friends. I was awarded the Life Membership by the Club in 2013, so this is my second time to be given another valuable award. I would like to thank those members who have proposed this award for me."

「 遊 艇會 帶 給 我機會結 識 更多朋 友。在二零一三年，遊 艇會向我頒 發終生會籍，所以今次是我第二次 獲遊艇會頒極具價值的獎項。我想 感謝那些建 議 頒 這個獎項給 我的 會員。」

Mr Vianney Bourrut Lacouture Hebe Dragons Spirit Award

"Sailing has made me really care about my physical condition, given me a strong winning mindset and motivated me to be one of the great Hebe Dragons. There is no other place I'd like to be in my free time. Receiving the award for team spirit is amazing, I really wanted to achieve this award. Last year, I received the National Green Fleet Sailor of the Year Award, and this new prize shows my progression as a sailor. I hope to carry on next year! I would like to thank my coaches, Alfred and Antonio and all the Hebe Dragons Race team, without forgetting my family for supporting me all this time.

「帆船運動令我更加注重自己的體

Hebe is my HOME. Thank you everyone for supporting me!"

白沙灣遊艇會是我的家，感謝大家

能，和把自己設定成為贏家的心態， 推動我成為優良的Hebe Dragon。當 每次有空閒的時間，我都會專注帆 船活動。獲得這個團隊精神獎項， 令我非常興奮。我一直很渴望得到 這個獎項。去年我獲頒國家Green Fleet年度帆船手，這次得到這個獎 項，再一次證明我航海技術有所提 升。希望來年再接再厲！我要感謝 教練Alfred和Antonio，以及Hebe Dragons的所有船員，當然還要感謝 我的家人，一直以來對我的支持。

給予我的支持！」

Mr Foo Yuen Wai 付遠威

Sailability Hong Kong Para Sailor of the Year "To me, HHYC and Sailability Hong Kong feel like 'home'. Sailing is a part of my life and sailing itself relates back to our own lives with all sorts of rules, the course is like the direction of our life and a direction towards our target—with this we can achieve greater things in life. In sailing, we need a lot of physical strength; hence, this has made me physically stronger. Sailing has also helped me mentally, empowering me to break through many boundaries. To achieve this award, it proves that everything can be done if we are willing to try and give it our best!"

「對我來說，白沙灣遊艇會和航能 香港給予我一種「家」的感覺。帆 船給 我 的感 覺 就像 生命其中的 一 部分，而且帆船與我們生活息息相 關，很多規則和航向就像帶領我們 人生的方向，有了目標才可以走得 更遠。此外，航海需要大量體 能， 我亦因此變得更加強壯。同時，也 強化我的心理健康狀態，使我衝破 了不少界限。能夠榮獲這個獎項， 證明只要我們願意付出的話，我們 就一定可以做得到!」

Mr Tommy Wong Haunting 黃瀚霆 Scallywag Foundation Sailor of the Year

"HHYC is a great place, filled with lots of happiness and fun. Ever since I started sailing here, sailing has given me lots of positive energy to carry on, even under different harsh situations. It was a surprise to be awarded this prize.

「自從我在白沙灣遊艇會開始航海活

There are a few people that I would like to give particular thanks to. Firstly, my sailing instructor, Paul. He was the one who invited me to start sailing, which means that without him, I may never have taken sailing on as one of my hobbies.

The next two persons are Mike and Kay, the Founder and CoFounder of Sailability Hong Kong. Most of the training days, they were here and this really shows that they care so much about the sailors. They often give us a few words of support and chat with us a lot to know more about our backgrounds.

The last person is my mother, June. She totally supports me on sailing and comes with me on most of the training sessions."

我要感謝好幾個人。首先是我的指導

動，這裡一直充滿了歡樂。航海讓我充 滿了正能量，幫助我克服不同的困境。 拿到這個獎項，我感到非常意外。

員Paul。他是首個邀請我參與帆船活 動的人，如果沒有他，我大概不會愛上 航海。接下來要感謝的是Mike和Kay， 也就是香港航能的兩位 創辦人。他們 出席了大部分的培訓活動，真心照 顧 所有學員。他們常常說鼓勵我們的話， 和我們聊天，了解我們的背景。最後要 感謝我的媽媽June。她一直大力支持 我航海，而且和我一起出席大部分的 培訓活動。」 Image courtesy of Tommy Wong

Ms Alexandra Jones

Sailability Hong Kong ID Sailor of the Year "I was born and schooled in Hong Kong, and I had been on junks before, but I never thought I'd get into a sailing boat.

Since that first day when I did, I've been very happy since and have no regrets about joining Sailability Hong Kong.

「我在香港出生、讀書，以前也坐 過小艇，不過沒想到有一天會坐在 帆船裡面。從那天開始，我一直很 開心，沒有後悔過加入香港航能。

大概十年前，我參加了白沙灣遊艇 會的帆船體驗活動。之後Kay邀請 我回來繼續學習。回想過去種種，

It's been ten or eleven years since Kay asked me to come back after that first sailing taster day at HHYC. I have such warm and nice memories, and I didn't know then that one day I would become a good sailor, sail alone and represent Hong Kong in international regattas.

真是既溫馨又感動。真的沒想過自 己會坐帆船出海，更會代表香港出 席參與國際帆船賽事。 二零零九年時，當時我航海技巧 不足，不過很喜歡和朋友一起出海

Back in 2009, I wasn't a good sailor, though I liked getting out onto the water with my friends. The boat I like to sail now is Matilda which has many great memories for me.

遊玩。現在我喜歡坐Matilda出海， 這艘船載著很多美好的回憶。 我很喜歡各項培訓課程，航海更

I enjoy the courses we take, and one of the best things about going sailing is all the friends I've made.

讓我結識了很多好朋友。 我要衷心感謝Mike和Kay，給我機

I would like to thank Kay and Mike wholeheartedly for giving me these opportunities, Mark, for being such a good and patient instructor and all the volunteers for their kindness and support!"

會揚帆出海。感謝Mark一直耐心 指導，也要感謝所有義工的支持和 鼓勵！」

Mr Ng Tsz Chung, Paul 吳子聰

Sailability Hong Kong Volunteer of the Year "I started a sailing class in the summer of my matriculation year, where I spent five days’ hard work at the Little Palm Beach (LPB) Sailing Centre. Now I am an Instructor, I am still using those notes I received at that time for my new sailors. I failed in my first attempt to get the sailing qualification and came back to get it after capsizing six times with an old fashioned ‘sea otter’ dinghy.

「我讀預科那年的夏季，花了五天時 間，在小棕林帆船中心首次學習航海。 今天，我已經是一位指導員，依然在使 用當年的筆記，跟新學員分享。我第一 次考試不及格，最後連續六次坐著海 獺型小艇反艇，終於通過了考核，獲得 航海資格。 機緣巧合之下，我在24小時慈善小艇賽 認識了Kay，並登記做航能的義工。我的

By chance, I met Kay on one morning of the HHYC 24 Hour Charity Dinghy Race and signed up to join Sailability as a volunteer. I could not resist the attraction of merging my own profession—working with disabled persons with my interest in sailing. Then I had to drive myself to restart my pursuit for DI. I made this a reality at the RYA DI class in Thailand, with the top coaches in the field—who opened my eyes on how passion can drive someone to teach sailing. I would like to say thank you to all the directors of Sailability for offering me so many chances to develop myself as an instructor who has since made sailing accessible to so many people in the last few years."

職業本來就是與傷健人士打交道，而 且航海是我的嗜好，我實在無法拒絕 這個把兩者合一的好機會。然後我努力 爭取成為DI，並在泰國取得RYA DI的資 格。當時最頂尖的教練，讓我看到熱忱 可以引領我當航海指導員。我要感謝所 有航能負責人，讓我有眾多機會不斷提 升自己作為指導員的能力。感謝你們在 過去幾年，讓更多的人有機會接觸到帆 船活動。」 Image courtesy of Paul Ng

Sailability Hong Kong Most Improved Sailor of the Year "HHYC is a life-changing place for me. I treasure every moment with my Sailability teammates and friends here. It is definitely my honour to have been awarded such a prize. The credits go to my Sailability Hong Kong coach Ed and teammates, they have taught me that, ‘Victory belongs to the most persevering’. Also, a big thankyou to Kay and Mike for their support and trust, which gave me the opportunity to find myself in sailing."

I would like to thank my parents and my coach Alfred as well as the club for supporting me all throughout my journey. I am honoured to be rewarded with such a title. Without my parents and Alfred, I would never have made it this far.

I hope I can inspire more local sailors to achieve more than they can imagine, possibly bringing back a gold medal for Hong Kong and my mother club - Hebe Haven.”

「對我而言，白沙灣遊艇會就像我另一 個家。我在遊艇會度過了很多個暑假， 這裡帶給我不少美好的回憶。 我 非 常 榮 幸 得 到 這 個 獎，如 果 沒 有 家人和Alfred教練 鼓 勵，我是 沒可能 做 到。故 此，我 想 藉 此 機 會 感 謝 家 人，Alfred教練和遊艇會，一直以來對 我的支持。我希望我可以啟發一班本 地艇手，達成超乎他們想像的任務，並 為香港以及我的母會-白沙灣遊艇會， 奪得更多獎牌。」 Image courtesy of Lumiere Ng

Organization of the Year (Sailability School Program Cup) "HHYC means a great deal to our students and parents as, without it, Sailability would not have such a great venue which is accessible to our community. We have now been sailing with Sailability for 10 years and moved from 8 students to 16 accessing the activity each Sep – Dec. It's an honour for our students to have been awarded such a prize and it’s testimony to their interest as well as the support of their parents in encouraging them to be in the programme. We also need to thank Jackie Newman who initially set up JCSRS sailing with Sailability and of course Kay and Mike Rawbone for their relentless drive and energy as well as Mark, the ever-patient quality instructor of Sailability.

「 對 於 我 們 的 同 學 和 家長 來 說，白沙 灣 遊 艇會 意義 深 遠。沒有這 個 場 地 的 話，航 能 就 無 法 接 觸 到 社 區裡 面 的 群 眾。我們參與航能的活動，已經有十年 之久。活動在每年九月到十二月舉 辦， 而 參 與 活 動 的 學 生 數 字，從 八個 增 加 到十六個。同學得到這個獎項，真是很 大的榮譽。獎項證明了他們的努力和各 位 家長 的 支 持 並 沒有白費。我 們 也 要 感謝一 開始 讓學 校參 與航 能的Ja ckie Newman，還有永遠充滿活力的Kay和 Mike Rawbone，最後感謝在航能裡非常 耐心、水平超班的導師Mark。」

Also, I want to thank my team for their support and close cooperation over the last two years.

Let us strive for such outstanding results. I appreciate HHYC for providing such a great platform and opportunity for people to share the fun of sailing from those who love this sport.

Mr Lam Cheuk Ngai, Chunki 林倬毅 CCF Sailor of the Year

"For me sailing by myself is a special experience. In addition to learning the skills of sailing, I have had the opportunity to take part in the 'HHYC 24 Hour Charity Dinghy Race' every year as a representative boatman for one of the designated charities, the Children's Cancer Fund, to help raise money.

On the days of training at the yacht club, I also tanned a lot.

I remember, every time I returned home from the Club, my skin was as red as a lobster. At the start, I never expected that I would win an award, so I was very surprised and happy when I was granted one. I am grateful for all the efforts and support from the coaches at HHYC as well as the 'Children's Cancer Fund' for the opportunity to train and race every year. I also want to thank all my seniors and juniors who trained together, I have gained many insights through training, and I'm constantly improving. " Image courtesy of Lam Cheuk Ngai, Chunki 40

Congratulations messages from HHYC Sailing Committee 白沙灣遊艇會賽事委員會恭賀語 Mr Harvey Jessop

Rear Commodore (Sail Training) 副會長（航海訓練）

「今 年 所 有 得 獎 者 都 叫 我 感 到 非 常 自

“I am so proud of all our winners this year. We have an exciting new Dragons Team Captain, Seb Von Ommeron, who I believe will demonstrate great leadership for the benefit of the squad. He has also won the Hebe Dragons’ Sailor of the Year. Likewise, I am so delighted to see Lumiere appointed as the Laser Team Captain.

Lumiere has been a great mentor to all the sailors, whether Optimists or Lasers, and has demonstrated time after time that he leads by example. Unfortunately, there isn't space here to mention every individual award; otherwise, my statement would be too long. Still, it is great to see such a variety of sailors, girls and boys, all of whom have excelled. Hebe is showing great depth in its squad of sailors. Heartfelt congratulations to all our winners!”

Seb Von Ommeron。我相信他必定會發揮

豪。Dra g ons團 隊有一 位 新 的船 長，就 是 領導才能，引領團隊再創高峰。他也贏得了 Hebe Dragon年度最佳航海員。同時，我看 到Lumiere獲委任為Laser團隊的船長，感到 非常高興。對於所有船員來說，無論他們屬 於Optimist還是Laser團隊，Lumiere一直都 是很好的導師，而且提供了非常好的榜樣。 可惜這裡沒辦法感謝每 一個得獎者，否則 我的段落就會變得太長了。不過，我很開心 看到各位健兒，不論男女都表現出眾。所有 白沙灣船員都顯示出非凡的深度，衷心恭喜 所有獎項得主！」

About Sailor of the Year (SOTY)

有關年度最佳航海員

"Whilst the winner of the Boat of the Year is a purely mechanical exercise, deciding on the recipient of the 'Toby Jug' for Sailor of the Year (SOTY) has always been challenging. Following the award of the inaugural 2017 SOTY to Toby Jenkin-Jones, based on a proposal from the Sailing Committee; in 2018, the wider HHYC sailing community was invited to propose nominees for consideration, and from this, a shortlist of five HHYC members was derived. Each of the nine Sailing Committee members then ranked the five names in order of preference, and Sunny Lo (LoTech) was selected as last year's winner.

「 選出年度 最佳 帆 船，只需要 看船隻 的 機

For 2019, the process has been repeated, and Joseph Chan has been chosen, from a shortlist of four (after removing the names of Sailing Committee members!) as the next winner of the Toby Jug. Whilst each Committee member will have their own reason(s) for their ranking of the nominees, it is fair to say that factors other than pure sailing ability play a part in the outcome. Each of the three recipients has made a significant contribution to HHYC sailing and to club life as a whole, over many years; and this SOTY award presents a great opportunity to consider and recognise those contributions.

在二零一九年，整個流程重複一次，最後從

械性能。但是要挑選獲得 Toby Jug 的年度 最佳航海員，卻是很主觀的事情。二零一七 年 首次 推出年度 最佳 航 海員 獎 項，根 據 賽 事委員會的內部建議，頒發給 Toby JenkinJones。到了二零一八年，各航海人士獲邀進 行提名，結果產出白沙灣遊艇會最後五強， 並交給賽事委員會排名，最後選出 Sunny Lo (LoTech) 為去年的得獎者。

四強名單，選出 Joseph Chan，拿下 Toby Jug。各委員有自己排名的因由，最終賽果， 卻肯定包括了航海能力以外的因素。過去三 位得獎者，多年來對白沙灣遊艇會作出重大 貢獻，豐富了遊艇會的社交生活。所以，年度 最佳航海員獎項，正是表揚此等貢獻的最好 機會。 賽事委員會想藉此機會，向 LoTech 的舵手、

The Sailing Committee also wish to give a special acknowledgement to SOTY nominee, Sunny Leung, helmsman of LoTech; who attracted strong support in the nomination process. However, as Sunny is not a member of HHYC, he is not eligible for the main award. Keep up the good work, Sunny. "

年度最佳航海員 Sunny Leung 致意。他在 提名過程中，吸引了大量 支持。不過，由於 Sunny不是白沙灣遊艇會的會員，未符合資 格得獎。希望 Sunny 會繼續加油。」

MAY YOU HAVE FAIR WINDS— A THANK YOU NOTE FROM FELIX MULDER AND FAMILY

May you have fair winds A thank you note from Felix Mulder and family 各位親愛的航海愛好者 這是一封 Felix Mulder 和家人寫給大家的致謝信 On a random sunny Saturday sometime in 2017, while driving back from a family lunch in Sai Kung, our six-year-old son Felix peered out of the car window as we passed Pak Sha Wan and his gaze closed in on some sailboats returning to shore, against a beautiful backdrop of the Hong Kong waters and hills.

這是一封Felix Mulder和家人寫給大家的致謝信。二零一七年某

Out of the blue, Felix announced, “I am going to be a sailor.” Taking us all by surprise, as we were not dedicated sailors ourselves, other than the occasional recreation sailing, my wife turned her head and asked, ‘’Say that again?” Felix continued with confidence and determination pointing his finger to the mooring site of Hebe Haven and dinghies lined up against the pier, “I want to be a sailor.”

Felix突如其來的表示，他要當一個航海員。當時大家感到很意

Three years later, Felix has become a competitive sailor with several regattas in Hong Kong, two international races in Macau and Malta; along with several sail camps in Hong Kong, Thailand and the Netherlands under his belt. Moreover, his passion for sailing has grown over the years, as well his friendship with his Hebe Dragon peers, his respect for staff, and his gratitude to all the people that took him from a Green Fleet sailor to a competitive and capable sailor in the Hebe Dragons Optimist Main Fleet.

三年之後，Felix已經成為了一個競賽航海員。他參加了香港

個陽光充沛的週六，我們一家在西貢吃過午餐，駕車回家途 中，經過白沙灣，我們六歲的兒子Felix剛好望著窗外，看到一 批帆船在香港美麗醉人的青山綠水襯托下回到岸邊。

外，因為除了偶爾一次出海玩樂，我們從來都沒有醉心於帆船 活動。我太太轉過頭去，問：「你說多一次？」Felix指著白沙灣 帆船停泊處和碼頭旁一列小艇，充滿自信和決心地回答：「我 想要當一個航海員。」

好幾次帆船比賽、澳門和馬爾他的兩次國際比賽，還有香港、 泰國和荷蘭的航海營。隨著時間過去，他對航海的熱情有增 無減，與Hebe Dragon其他船員的友誼與日俱增，對各員工也 深感尊重。他從Green Fleet躍升到白沙灣Optimist主隊，成為 一個有能力競賽的航海員，當中對曾經幫助過他的每 一 位 恩人，他都心存感謝。

As all good things come to an end, our family has decided to move back to the Netherlands after more than 20 years abroad, of which many years were spent in Hong Kong. Hong Kong will remain our second home, and our bond with HHYC and the people that make Hebe so special will last forever, harnessing the good memories we share with its members, the youth sailors and supportive staff.

天下無不散之筵席，我們離開了家鄉超過二十年，當中好一 段時間在香港生活。對於 我們來說香港永遠 是 第二個家。 我們與白沙灣 遊 艇會的情誼，永 遠不滅。感謝白沙灣 每 一 位，我們會永遠記住和各位會員、年輕的航海員和優秀員工 的美好回憶。

The three years Felix spent at Hebe has made him who he is today. This experience taught him not only great sailing skills but also respect, discipline and camaraderie. On behalf of Felix, but also straight from our heart, we would like to thank everyone who was involved in his journey at HHYC, with special thanks to Rob, Alfie, Antonio, Harvey, Stan, Mariken, Michael, Rob B, Gregoire and last but not least, all his fellow Hebe Dragon sailors.

沒 有 在 白 沙 灣 的 三 年，也 沒 有 今 天 的 F e l i x。這 裡 的 體 驗 不 但 教 會 了 他 出 眾 的 航 海 技 術，更 讓 他 懂 得 尊 重、自 律 和 同 袍 友 愛 。我 們 一 家，想 感 謝 每 一 位 參 與 了 F e l i x 這 一 段 人 生 旅 途 的 人。當 中，特 別 要 感 謝 Rob、Alfie、Antonio、Harvey、Stan、Mariken、Michael、Rob B、Gregoire，和每一位Hebe Dragon的隊友。

Today, while I am writing this, I am sitting at the Haarlemsche Jachtclub overlooking the lake ‘De Mooie Nel’ (the beautiful Nel), where Felix started his first training session with the competition squad. As parents, we could not be prouder of Felix and his dream to continue his sailing journey as a competitor under the Dutch flag. But we will never forget where he has his roots, and the foundation that was laid for his passion. The Hebe spirit will live forever.

今天，我坐在哈勒姆遊艇會寫這篇文章，放眼看去，是美麗的 尼爾大湖。Felix就是在這裡，第一次跟競賽團隊進行培訓。我 們作為Felix的父母，感到萬分自豪，他往後的夢想，就是代表 荷蘭出戰帆船賽事。不過，我們絕對不會忘記，他這份熱情紮 根之處。白沙灣精神，將伴隨他的一生。

Thank you so much, and we are sure that our paths will cross again. See you at the next international regatta!

謝 謝大家，期待與你們重 遇的 一天。在 下一 個國際帆 船賽

SAN MIGUEL MONSOON SPRING SERIES 2020, RACES 7 & 8 (AND MONSOON SERIES 2019-20)

San Miguel Monsoon Spring Series 2020, Races 7 & 8 (and Monsoon Series 2019-20) 二零二零年生力啤春季系列賽 第七及第八場賽事（和二零一九至二零年系列賽）

Despite the best efforts of Race Officer, Eric Tomter, and his team, the weather gods did not look kindly on the last day of the San Miguel Monsoon Spring Series 2020, Races 7 & 8 (and the full Monsoon Series 2019-20).

There had been two days of racing in March before the lockdown for COVID-19. Then, in April, two race days were cancelled, and the committee decided on 30 May to stage Races 7 & 8 to conclude the series.

三月份進行了兩天的比賽，及後因為

But, on Saturday, 30 May conditions were far from favourable as dawn broke with rain (amber) and thunderstorm warnings in effect.

Elsewhere, the Cruiser Owners’ Association Summer Rally and the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club’s Tomes Cup were postponed.

了最大努力，二零二零年生力啤春季系 列賽的第七和第八場賽事（和整個二 零一九至二零年系列賽）最後一天的 賽事，還是無法扭轉天氣之神的旨意。

新冠肺炎疫情影響，所有活動便全面 終止了，連帶四月份的兩天比賽也取消 了。委員會在五月三十日決定，進行第 七和第八場賽事，作為系列賽的終結。

SAN MIGUEL MONSOON SPRING SERIES 2020, RACES 7 & 8 (AND MONSOON SERIES 2019-20)

Having held only three of the four required races to make the Monsoon Spring Series, the race management was keen to hold at least one race to complete the series. This would also allow the results to count as the third event in the Monsoon Series 2019-20.

There was little change in conditions when the race management team assembled on the committee vessel at Hebe Haven Yacht Club at 1230 with the thunderstorm warning signal having been extended to 1430. With safety the major concern, the AP postponement flag was raised ashore. Meanwhile, race management headed out into Port Shelter to appraise conditions, whilst several crews adjourned to the Garden Bar. By 1330 the skies were brightening. A 3.4-knot southeasterly had arrived and two boats, Amaze and Talkinghead, had ventured out.

At 1400 with no signs of thunder and the breeze building to six knots, Tomter decided to go for it and lowered the AP flag, giving the competitors one hour to reach the start area.

Briefly at 1455 the sun broke through but, at the same time, the breeze began to soften as the start sequence commenced.

With four of the 18 IRC entries and seven of the 14 HKPN boat showing up the RO opted for a combined start on a two-lap windward / leeward with the outer mark at 0.8nm for IRC and 0.65nm for HKPN, both at 140 degrees.

Temujin close to the committee boat took an early lead followed by H3O and Blu at the pin end, but then the wind shut down and Lazy Piggy and Amaze struggled to cross the start line.

Although not competing in the Spring Series, four J80s made it to the start area as a farewell race for 10-year old Felix Mulder, a promising Optimist sailor and member of the Hebe Dragons sailing team. His family is moving to the Netherlands and the race gave other team members an opportunity to experience keelboat racing.

Somewhat unfortunately, the J80s start coincided with the wind shutting down. Storm clouds were building over Clearwater Bay and, wisely, two minutes into their starting sequence their race – and racing for the day – was abandoned for everyone.

After three races in the Monsoon Spring Series Blu, Talkinghead and Ambush were lying 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the series while Lazy Piggy, Bucephalus and LoTech were 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively in HKPN. However, without a fourth race, it all counted for nought.

In the Monsoon Series 2019-20 with the Spring Series not being completed it was initially considered that only the results for the two previous events – the HHYC’s Monsoon Winter Series and the RHKYC’s Spring Cup – would count. Consequently, using the Cox-Sprague calculation system, Talkinghead was lying1st, X-Terminator 2nd and Outrageous 3rd out of 13 IRC entries. Windseeker was placed 1st out of the 21 entries in HKPN with H3O 2nd and Lazy Piggy 3rd.

As explained later by Tomter, though, in the Notice of Race for the Monsoon Series 2019-20, Clause 7.2, it specifies: ‘Each race sailed will earn points towards the Monsoon Series’.

Therefore, allowing for the three races sailed in the Monsoon Spring Series resulted in the following outcome for the Monsoon Series 2019-20. In IRC Talkinghead remained in 1st place with X-terminator still 2nd. Outrageous, however, slipped to 4th with Blu claiming 3rd. In HKPN, Windseeker retained its 1st place while Lazy Piggy leapfrogged H3O into 2nd place, relegating H3O to 3rd.

Given the health restrictions in place, there was no awards function, but the sponsored San Miguel was still greatly appreciated back at the Garden Bar. 48

春季系列賽四輪比賽，只是 進行了三輪。所以競賽管理 團隊非常希望，可以起碼進行多一輪賽事，以完成整個系 列。這樣也可以把賽果，作為第三項比賽，以計算在二零 一九至二零年的系列賽中。中午十二點半，賽事管理團隊 在白沙灣遊艇會集合。當時天氣狀況依然很不理想，雷暴 警告被延長到下午兩點半。考慮到要安全第一，岸上舉起 了AP 賽事押後旗幟。賽事管理團隊在此時出發到牛尾海 評估狀況。有好幾艘帆船的船員趁機來到花園酒吧輕鬆 一下。 到了下午一點半，天空開始變得明朗。海上吹起了三點四 海里的東南風，Amaze和Talkinghead揚帆出發。到了兩 點，雷暴全面停止，海風增強到六海里。Tomter決定收起 AP旗幟，給競賽船隻一小時的時間，到達起步區。 到了兩點五十五分，各艘船隻排列好陣形準備開始比賽。 當時天空開始放晴，但是風勢卻慢慢放緩。IRC組別十八 艘船中，來了四艘，而HKPN組別十四艘中則來了七艘。 競賽官決定兩個組 別同時開始，進行兩圈迎 風/背風比 賽。IRC組別外標設在0.8海里，HKPN組別設在0.65海里， 兩者均為一百四十度。 委員會船旁邊的Temujin一馬當先，H2O和Blu緊隨其後， 可是海風突然消失，導致Lazy Piggy和Amaze卡在啟航線 之後。當天有四艘J80來到起點區，他們並不是要參加系 列賽，而是為十歲的Felix Mulder舉辦送別賽。Felix是一位 很有潛質的Optimist航海員，也是Hebe Dragons的隊員。 他和家人要移居荷蘭，這場送別賽，想讓其他船員有機會 體驗一下龍骨船比賽。 有點可惜的是，在J80啟航時，剛好海風消失了，清水灣上 空堆起了黑雲。比賽只開始了兩分鐘，大家便作出了明智 的決定，就是放棄當天所有賽事。 春 季 系 列 賽 進 行 了 三 場 比 賽 之 後，頭 三 位 分 別 是 Blu、Talkinghead和Ambush。而HKPN組別的前三名是 Lazy Piggy、Bucephalus 和LoTech。可是，第四場比賽 無 法 進 行，前 面 三 場 的 賽 果 就 無 法 計 算。二 由 於 春 季 系列未能完成，本來大家的想法是，唯有計算之前的白 沙灣 遊 艇會冬季系 列賽 和 香 港 遊 艇會 的春 季 盃，作 為 最後的賽果。換言之，按照Cox-Sprague計算方法，IRC 組 別 十三 艘 船 當 中，頭 三名分別 是Ta l ki n g h e a d、XTerminator和Outrageous。而HKPN組 別二十 一 艘 船 中，勝出的則為Windseeker，而H2O和 Lazy Piggy 分別 拿下亞軍和季軍。 不過，稍後Tomter解釋，二零一九至二零年的系列賽競 賽 通知第七點二條列明：「每一場進行的賽事都計算在 整個系列中。」所以，加入春季系列賽三場比賽的賽果， 二零一九至二零年度的總賽果如下：IRC組別第一和第二 名依然是Talkinghead和X-Terminator，但是季軍由Blu 取得，Outrageous下降到第四。HKPN組 別冠 軍依然是 Windseeker，但是 Lazy Piggy 越過 H2O 拿下亞軍，而H2O 滑落到第三位。受到疫情影響，我們沒有安排頒獎活動。 不過贊助商供應的生力啤，在花園酒吧依舊大受歡迎。

UK SAILMAKERS TYPHOON SERIES 2020 RACE 1

UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2020 Race 1

二零二零年英國 Sailmakers 颱風系列第一場比賽 After months of lockdown and curtailing of sailing events, there was much anticipation for the first of nine races in the UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2020 on Sunday 7 June 2020.

經 過了好 幾 個 月 的 社 交 和 帆 船 活 動 限

A trough of low pressure impacting Hong Kong saw the thunderstorm warning hoisted at 0220 and the amber rainstorm signal at 0620. So, once again, conditions did not look promising.

Normally weather prediction applications are fairly reliable, but they got it wrong with their expectations of 11 – 12 knots. Surprising, too, given that gusts of 82km were recorded earlier!

當 日 是 九 場 比 賽 中 的 第 一 場，香 港 被

Still, patience is a virtue so the Race Officers (ROs), Nigel Slattery and Eric Tomter, and the race management team after assembling on the committee vessel, shortly after 0900, chose to postpone the start for one hour. The first warning signal changed from 1055 to 1155. However, by 1020 there was little improvement and the start was further delayed to 1230.

較 早 前，更 錄 得 時 速 八十二 公 里 的 疾

制，很多人 對二零二零 年六月七日星 期 日，舉行第一場比賽的英國Sailmakers颱 風系列賽，都充滿了期待。

一 道低 氣 壓 籠 罩，凌 晨兩 點 二十 分，天 文台 發出了雷暴 警 告，到了早上 六時二 十 分，更發出了黃色 暴雨 警 告。也 就 是 說，情 況 看來 實 在 不妙。本 來，天 氣 預 測 應 用 程 式是 挺可靠 的。不過，當日風 速 預 測為十 一至十二 海里，結果卻有很 大的偏差。

風。Nigel Slattery和Eric Tomter兩位競賽官， 深明欲速則不達的道理。上午九點剛過，競 賽官和管理團隊，在競賽船隻上集合，並決 定把比賽時間推遲一小時。第一次警示信號 從十點五十五分推遲到十一點五十五分。但 是，到了十點二十分，情況並沒有太大改善。 於是，開始比賽的時間進一步延後到十二點 三十分。

Meanwhile, the committee boat headed out into Port Shelter to recce the conditions. Again, it did not look promising in the drizzle. Occasional flashes of lightning could still be seen over the land with Nick Southwood of Whiskey Jack concerned about even starting the race.

Sent to lay marks at Bay and Table Island, there was an encouraging 6.6-knot breeze at Table but, by noon, it was down to 2.2 knots…and falling. The ROs then decided to head further out, closer to Shelter Island, with the fleet following. It certainly looked more promising and, by 1315, arrangements were underway to lay the outer distance mark of the start line.

50

這時，委員會船出發往牛尾海視察情況。 當時下著微雨，情況還是不樂觀。在陸地 遠處，可以看到偶爾一下的閃電。Whiskey Jack的Nick Southwood對於能否可以開始 比賽，他一點都不看好。 競賽官往匙洲和平面洲下標，前者 海風 是令人 鼓舞的六點六海里，但 是 到了中 午，風 速 只 剩下微 弱 的二 點 二 海里，而 且繼續放緩。競賽官於是決定再駛 遠一 點，帶領著船隊，來到接近牛尾州之處。 那 裡看來 形 勢 好 一 點，而 且，到了 下午 一 點十五分，大 家已 經 開始準備工作， 要把啟航線遠方的標記放置好。

But, once again, the wind shut down and the ROs abandoned racing for the day, sending everyone home. It was a big disappointment for many, particularly boats like Gambit that had travelled all the way from Hong Kong Island through the storm.

可是，情 況 再 一 次 逆 轉，風 勢 消 失

In total 36 of the 61 registered boats turned up including 17 of the 21 entries in IRC, which was to include the first outing for the new-to-Hong Kong TP52, Alpha Plus (ex-Luna Rossa), 15 of the 24 in HKPN, two of the five J80s and two of five Sportsboats—Havoc and Furious One.

登 記 參 賽 的 六十 一 艘 船 當中，共 有

得 無 影 無 蹤，競 賽 官 唯 有 放 棄當日 的 競 賽，吩 咐 大 家 打 道 回 府。很 多 人都 特別 失 望，尤 其 是 好 像 Gambit 那 樣，遠 道從 港島穿 越 暴 風 雨 而 來 參 賽的船隻。

三 十 六 艘 來 到 現 場。其 中 包 括 IRC 組 別 二十 一 艘中 的 十 七 艘，當 中 有 剛剛到達 香 港、第一次出賽的Alpha Plus型 號 帆 船 TP52（ 以 前 叫 作 Luna Rossa）。另外，HKPN組別二十四艘船， 共 來了十五 艘。五 艘J -80 有 兩艘出

Despite the abandonment of the race a few boats, including Authority and Team Abercrombie on the J-80 Baring Asia 2, stayed on to get in some practice. Conditions were fluky, though, with numerous holes, proving there would have been little chance of completing a fair race.

席，Sportsboat也是五艘來了兩艘，分 別是Havoc和Furious One。 雖 然 比 賽 取 消 了，但 是 Authority和 J-80 Baring Asia 2的Abercrombie等團 隊，也 留 下 來 進 行 練 習。當 時 天 氣 變 幻 莫 測，到 處 都 是 無 風 黑 洞，證 明 想 要 完 成 一 場 公平 的 競 賽，近乎

Meanwhile, back at Hebe’s Garden Bar, the Ichiban team were jokingly suggesting that the race management team had deliberately been torturing them (possibly why they were first back to the bar).

不可能。 此 時 ，在 白 沙 灣 遊 艇 會 花 園 酒 吧，Ichiban團隊笑說競賽管理團隊應 該是故意折磨大家的。大概因為這個 原因，他們率先回到了酒吧暢飲。

Wrapping up, Slattery and Tomter concluded that it had been very difficult with the wind not from where it was expected, ultimately resulting in a damp squib.

The UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2020 continues with Race 2, The Mirs Bay Race, on Saturday 20 June; with the return Pursuit Race, although no longer part of the Series, on Sunday 21 June.

Slattery和Tomter總結當天情 況，由 於缺乏風速，難以進行比賽。最終大 家唯有失望而回。 二零二零年的英國Sailmakers颱風系 列賽，將於六月二十日星期六在大鵬 灣 舉 行第 二 場比 賽。而 不包 括 在 系 列賽當中的回程追逐賽，則會在二十 一號週日進行。 51

TO RACE, OR NOT TO RACE—THAT IS THE QUESTION

To race, or not to race that is the question 競賽還是取消？真是一個難題 ......

by Adam Glendinning Since the easing of social restrictions related to COVID-19, we have experienced an unfortunate run of bad luck when it comes to getting races held. The rescheduled last race day of the Monsoon Spring Series on 30 May, Race One of the Typhoon Series on 7 June, and Race One of the Summer Saturday Series on 13 June, have all had to be cancelled due to weather.

因應新冠病毒所實施的社交限制得到放寬，我們終於可以進

Hebe Haven Yacht Club takes the health and safety of its staff, members and those sailors joining our races very seriously. There are certain prescriptions we need to abide by to cancel or postpone races. For example, the Hong Kong Observatory raising the T3 warning—and the subsequent need for yachts to return to shelter—is driven by insurance requirements.

白沙灣遊艇會高度重視各位員工、會員和參賽航海員的健康

Yacht racing is a sport that takes place outdoors, on fresh, and salt water, in sheltered lakes, coastal regions and the open ocean. This diversity, and ever-changing nature, of sailing environments, makes it impossible to prescribe all of the conditions that the Race Committee could use to decide whether or not to let races proceed. By way of example, thunderstorms are common in the summer months in Hong Kong. Anytime there is, or there is a high probability of, a thunderstorm in Hong Kong, the observatory will issue the thunderstorm warning. This warning might equally relate to an isolated thunderstorm in the northern New Territories or a squall line along the coast.

進行帆船比賽的地方，包羅萬有：平靜的湖泊、沿岸水域、廣

行帆船比賽，卻經歷了一連串的壞運氣。因為天氣惡劣，五月 三十號擇日重賽的春季系列賽最後一場、六月七日颱風系列 的第一場、以及六月十三號的夏季週六系列第一場比賽，全 部都被迫取消。

和安全。要取消或押後比賽，我們都需要遵從某些規矩。例 如，如果香港天文台掛起三號風球，由於有保險方面的考慮， 所有帆船必須返回避風塘。

闊的大海等。航海的環境千變萬化，所以無法把所有可能發 生的狀況都一一記下來，給競賽委員會用來決定是否讓某一 場比賽進行。又例如，香港夏季經常會有雷暴。遇到這樣的天 氣，或者天文台認為發生雷暴的機會很大，就會發出雷暴警 告。這個警告可能代表在新界北部有局部的雷暴，也可能是沿 岸出現暴風雨線。 香港的天氣往往變幻莫測，而且只是影響局部地區。競賽官

Weather conditions in Hong Kong can, and do, change rapidly and can be very localised.

The RO must evaluate conditions in situ, using the best information available—and yes, there are always opportunities to apply lessons learnt and to do better. Sailing is by its nature is extremely dynamic, and we all learn from previous experience. We strive to do better all the time. Monday morning, or the following week it is easy to sit back on land and say this should have been done instead of that, this was right, or that was wrong. This said, I support the decisions made by our ROs 100%.

必須到達競賽現場，按照收集到的資料，來評估情況。當然，

Notwithstanding any decisions made by the Race Committee and ROs, sailors must keep the following in mind: Part 1 of the Racing Rules of Sailing issued by World Sailing, Number 4 reads, “DECISION TO RACE: The responsibly for a boat’s decision to participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone.”

無論競賽委員會和競賽官做出什麼決定，航海員必須謹記：《

Every skipper must evaluate the environmental conditions, their yacht, experience, and training of the crew, amongst other factors when making this decision. Subject to certain prescriptions, for example, when a T3 is raised, it is not the Race Committee’s responsibility to make this decision for the skippers. This is why we yacht race.

每一位船長在作出相關決定前，應該評估環境條件、帆船情

52

可以用以往學習到的經驗，讓每一次的評估都會做得更好。 航海本身就是一個極端動態的活動，每個人都要不斷吸取經 驗，我們也一直努力做到最好。過後的星期一早上或者一個 星期之後，你可以站在岸邊，很輕鬆的評論當時應該如何處 理，這個做對了、那樣做錯了。但是，我百分之一百支持我們 競賽官作出的決定。

世界帆船》公布的帆船競賽規則第一部分第四條說明，「競賽 決定：對於是否參與比賽或者是否繼續某場比賽，船隻有最 終決策的責任。」

況、航海經驗、船員訓練和其他因素。針對某些規定而言，比 方說天文台掛起了三號颱風信號，船長有作出回航決定的責 任，而不是交給競賽官作決定。這就是航海競賽的精神。

Vale Notice 訃聞 It is with regret the Club recognises the passing of Howard Sidney Williams just prior to the publication of this issue. Howard was followed just five days later by his wife, Pat, may they both rest in peace together. This news was understandably quite devastating for the family, including John, Gail and Jack Williams.

Howard had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease for about eight years, which rapidly worsened after Christmas 2019. Pat suffered a stroke in January, which left her unable to look after herself or Howard, from which she never fully recovered.

Howard and Pat lived in Hong Kong from 1976 to 1987 and were members of the Club for nearly all of that time. They owned and sailed several yachts at HHYC, including a folk boat, an S&S 34—Doonerie (or similar spelling) and a Contessa 26—Red Tessa. They both loved their time at the Club and regularly recalled people and times there with great affection. Howard was a senior lecturer at the Hong Kong Polytechnic (HKPolyU). His children also regularly spent time at the Club, sailing a Laser and a 505.

In a letter to the Club, Howard's son wrote, "I don't remember many members' names, from that time; however, a lady called Enid Chan bought Red Tessa from Dad, and other names such as Roger Mason, Nick Robinson, Vick Locke and Tommy who ran the bar—easily come to mind. I do remember the Club had a fleet of Hunter Impala and Sonata yachts, which I crewed on for a few people when in my teens."

After initially retiring from Hong Kong to Newton Ferrers in Devon, UK; Howard and Pat then moved to the Wirral about eight years ago. Happily, they carried on sailing for many years and owned a First 35—moored on the Yealm River.

May they both be happy in their next journey together. 遺憾的是，本會知悉Howard Sidney Williams在本期出版前就已經去世。五 天後，他的妻子Pat也緊隨其後，願他們倆安息。對於包括John, Gail and Jack在內的整個家庭來說，這個消息實在是難以接受。 Howard患有阿爾茨海默氏病已有八年之久，在2019年聖誕節之後病情迅 速惡化。Pat於今年一月份中風，使她無法照顧自己或照顧Howard，而且 她未完全康復。 Howard和Pat從1976年到1987年在香港生活，幾乎在整個期間都是遊艇 會會員。他們在HHYC擁有並駕駛過幾艘遊艇，包括folk boat，S＆S 34 -Doonerie（或類似串法）和Contessa 26（Red Tessa）。他們倆都喜歡 在本會度過的時光，並經常想起那裡的人們和那時侯的點滴。Howard是 香港理工大學的高級講師。他的孩子們空閒時也會到本會，他們會駕駛 Laser 和 505。 在給本會的一封信中，Howard兒子寫道：“我不太記得那時侯很多成員的 名字；但是，一位名叫Enid Chan的女士從爸爸那裡買了Red Tessa，還有 其他人的名字，例如Roger Mason，Nick Robinson和酒吧的Vick Locke和 Tommy。而且我記得遊艇會有一支由Hunter Impala和Sonata遊艇組成的 船隊，因為在我十幾歲的時候也曾是他們船隊中的船員。 Howard和Pat最初從香港退休，先搬到英國德文郡；大約八年前再搬到了 Wirral。令人高興的是，回到英國後，他們繼續參與航海，並擁有停泊在 Yealm河上的First 35。願他們倆在另一個地方繼續一起愉快地啟程。

ANGEL’S STORY

Angel’s Story Angel 的故事 Words & photography by Leung On Ki

Angel’s first visit to Sailability was on Saturday, 18 January 2020, with her husband, Anthony. It was also her first sailing experience, and the sailing conditions were perfect.

As we hoisted Angel from her wheelchair into the boat with Paul NG, a Sailability instructor by her side, she was about to embark on the start of a new chapter in her life. Amazingly, after only one hour’s tuition, she was able to handle the boat very well, and with Anthony watching her progress from the safety boat we asked if he would like to change places with Paul.

Well, how proud were we all as she sailed off with her husband, totally at ease to be at the helm. It was such a magical and empowering moment to see Angel so confident on the water taking her husband for his first sail and sharing the experience with him.

A few days later, I received a message from Angel, “The first sailing in my life gave me an unforgettable experience. I really enjoyed it.” …and then in March, we received an article from Angel, who wanted to share her experience with others, and I felt we should share it with you too.

Every sunset bears witness to a new dawn

It is a long and winding road, from leaping and hopping to stumbling along, to wheeling.

I am Angel, someone with muscular dystrophy—in medical terms, Facioscapulohumeral and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.

The fall came in my early 20s in 2002. A fall which was first mistaken as being clumsiness, but then proved to be an ultimate change to the rest of my life.

When the same diagnosis was given to my dad and younger brother, I was still very removed from muscular dystrophy, thinking it was a disease that could be cured by taking medication. It was only after more and more research that the true complexity of the disease revealed itself to me.

Some lucky ones ‘survive’ on medication and shots, but unfortunately, I am not one of them. My body will deteriorate until I am totally bedridden.

54

二 零 二 零 年 一月 十八日（ 星 期 六 ），A n g e l 第 一 次 和 丈 夫 Anthony一起到白沙灣遊艇會參觀，她在風和日麗下進行了 她的第一次出海航行，我們把Angel從輪椅扶到船上,

航能

導師Paul NG亦陪伴在旁。Angel就此展開人生的新一頁。只 是經過短短一小時的教導，Angel就能自如地駕馭遊艇。當 Anthony在救生艇看著Angel學習時，我們就問他要跟Paul 交換位置嗎? 當Angel和丈夫一起航行時，我們都感到非常驕傲！

看到

Angel在水上充滿自信輕鬆地掌舵，並帶著丈夫初嘗揚帆出 海的滋味，共渡難忘的時光，的確是奇妙且鼓舞人心。 幾天後，我收到Angel傳來的訊息，她說：「我人生中第一次 的航行經驗真是難忘，我很享受這次經歷。」 在三月時，我們收到Angel寫的一篇文章，她很想和其他人分 享自己的經歷，我們覺得也應該和大家分享。

「每一個日落，也見證我又步向新的一天。」 由原本輕快的步伐，到蹣跚而行，最後以輪椅代步，這段路並 不容易。 我是梁安琪(Angel)，一名肌肉萎縮症患者。 在2002年，20歲出頭的我不慎摔倒，導致膝蓋骨裂，我原本 以為自己只是手腳笨拙，但沒想到這一摔，卻為我的人生帶 來翻天覆地的變化。 最初在父親和弟弟相繼發病時，我對肌肉萎縮症感到非常陌 生，以為只要看醫生、吃點藥就會康復。但當我上網尋找相關 資訊，才驚覺此病的分類如此複雜，有些病人能靠針藥紓緩 病情，但我卻沒有那麼幸運。我只會不斷退化，最終全癱臥 床……

然而，命運不一定能選擇 從2006年發現腦瘤需動手術切除,去到2012年，我開始親身 感受到肌萎帶來的痛苦，身體機能一直下降，同時因罕見病 出現多種連帶的狀況，令我身心俱疲，卻只能苦苦掙扎。 在2017年左右，我已無法控制右手，日常生活都要依靠剩下 的左手，不得不擔心有一天連左手也會退化。不久後，我的左 手經常發炎腫脹，痛得連提起叉子進食也感到乏力，終於我 最憂慮的情況出現了。

面對這個轉變，我只能以「徬徨無助」來形容 雙腿乏力，我還能倚靠輪椅或拐杖幫助；身軀僵硬，我便以 雙眼去探索世界；右手痺痛，我便靠左手照顧自己。現在，難 道我連最後可以靠著自己活動的能力也要失去嗎？ 在無助之中，我發現原來只剩下一點微小力量的雙手，只要 好好配合使用，暫且也能應付一些小動作。

ANGEL’S STORY

Making choices for destiny

From 2006 to 2012, I experienced the real pain of muscular dystrophy—from being diagnosed with meningiomas (a lump in my brain) to undergoing the removal surgery. Along this journey, I also struggled with the gradual decline in body functions—exhausting myself with all the inevitable changes in life.

By 2017, I could no longer use my right hand; my daily living involved clutching onto things using my left hand only. Then the worst nightmare came; my left hand became more and more swollen until I could hardly lift up even a fork with it.

Despair in the face of change

When my legs are gone, I live in a wheelchair or on crutches. When my body stiffens, I rely on my eyes to explore the world; when my right hand is numb, I manage my daily living with my left hand; but now, am I losing my final bit of autonomy?

It’s in despair then; I find out that with proper coordination and the little strength left in my two hands, can still manage some motions, regardless of how small they may be.

Yes, there are moments of helplessness, but it’s also in these moments that I choose to be brave, with the support and encouragement from my family, my friends and God.

In retrospect, if I encounter a problem face to face, it’s not as difficult as it looks.

18 January 2020 marked the date of my first attempt at a new goal— sailing! Friends were all surprised when I announced the resolution, “I will be sailing on a boat.” They wondered, with my feeble limbs, with even just standing up a challenge, would I be able to do it?

Childhood memories all come back to me, and they are inseparable from the sea—dating back to the ‘boat people’, origins of my parents and grandmother. What was the kid in me like before the muscular dystrophy? My head is swamped with waves of childhood memories, as I sail across the sea, with the breeze caressing my face, the wheelchair-bound me is finally released, experiencing the wonder of creation in nature.

Kay, the founder of Sailability, told me few stories of disabled athletes even though I am restricted in movement, I am more blessed than most others as my eyes can still see, my hands can still work, and my legs can still stand. I may not be able to handle a lot of things, but I make the effort to try, to experience, and leave no regrets in life.

How will my body be doing tomorrow when I wake up? Am I going to lose another movement? Not even a doctor can tell, let alone myself, so I choose to treasure the present moment, live life to the fullest every day, with the faith that, “where there is life, there is hope”. I engage in every moment like it’s my last, and the best memories will be forever saved in my mind.

56

Inevitably there are ups and downs in everyday life, doubt looms in from time to time, what’s the point of this life? I question myself numerous times if I should keep going. The sailing experience with the guidance of the coach proves once again that a disabled body is not a non-functional body. Rather, with the assistance of others, I can still achieve and excel. From bathing in the sunset by the seaside, to riding so close to the water, to feeling its temperature—my body is once again empowered with positivity. Each sailing experience lifts the expectation of the next, another chance to live out a beautiful life.

Rays beyond tears

In retrospect, looking back at the past decade, I had climbed a mountain and stumbled in the valley with laughs and tears. Muscular dystrophy, instead of weakening me, has been strengthening me to be the present me—one who stands up to the odds in life. It is my sincere hope that by sharing my little story, readers can find faith again and, most importantly, appreciation of the beauty of our lives.

我 的 確 也有沮喪 低 落 的 時 候，但 在 這 一 刻，我選擇了堅強，因為我身邊的家人、朋 友，還有神，一直也為我打氣。

「原來當自己去面對、去走過這段路 的時候，發現許多東西也沒有想像中 困難。」 18/1/2020，新一年新嘗試，第一次體驗帆 船的樂趣。我跟身邊的朋友說：「我準備玩 帆船」，大家都覺得相當驚訝，連我自己也 不敢相信，我四肢不靈活乏力，而且不能站 立，真的能夠玩帆船嗎？ 小時候在海上長大與生活（祖母父母是水 上人），所以童年回憶頓時湧上心頭-童年 的我、未發病前的我，到底是怎樣的呢？在 海上的幾個小時，回憶一下子填滿腦海。隨 風向前，平日只能以輪椅代步的我，今天終 於能夠暫時離開輪椅，以另一方式去感受 一下大自然的奇妙。 猶記得創辦人Kay簡略告訴我幾位殘疾運動員的小故事。聽罷，我覺得自 己雖然行動有所限制，但至少有雙眼能看；有雙手能動；有雙腳能站，已 比很多人幸運。沒錯！我有很多事情單靠自己做不了，但至少我有嘗試過、 感受過，人生才不至於有遺憾。 明天醒來，我的身體狀況會怎樣？會否又突然失去了某些活動能力？真的 不知道，連醫生也不能給我答案，只有珍惜現在過好每一天。仍深信「只 要活著，就有希望」，每一次參與活動，我也視為是最後一次，只希望能將 所有美好回憶鎖在腦海和心底裡。 心情經常遇上高低起跌，甚至有點懷疑自己人生，常問自己是否應繼續向 前，但正好航能教練給我這次風帆體驗，再次證明我仍是殘而不廢，有很 多事情仍然可以做到的（雖然勞煩到很多身邊的人幫忙）。平日喜歡看海 和看日落的我，可以近距離貼近大海，感受一下海水的溫度，揚帆出海的 機也會為我補充了不少正能量，期待將來有更多出海的機會，令自己的人 生更加精彩。

抬頭有曙光所以珍惜淚 回顧過去十年的人生路，真的是經歷著高山與低谷，有笑有淚。因著患上 肌肉萎縮症，令到自己變得更加堅強，成為一個更加懂得面對逆境的人。 希望將這份信念與正面價值，分享予每一位讀者，昐望大家都能欣賞自己 生命的美麗。

We are sure you will agree this is a wonderful piece of writing from a very strong, resilient and wonderful lady, who is now part of our Sailability Family.

CLUB UPDATE

As I pen this article, the Monsoon Spring Series final race day is about to be sailed, and the UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series and Peroni Summer Saturday Series are waiting in the wings with a significant increase in the number of yachts entered in both series.

The Sail Training Centre is a hive of activity, with the easing of social restrictions. All in all, it is looking like a busy summer around the Club.

Of course, it was not so long ago yacht racing was suspended, the sail training centre was closed, and there were some quite restrictive social distancing restrictions in place in the clubhouse and the Restaurant. However, in typical Hong Kong fashion, we just got on with it. Now having hopefully dealt with the worst of COVID-19 locally, at any rate, we can get on with enjoying the best of what the Hong Kong summer has to offer.

The lingering travel restrictions left over from international borders being closed, and restrictions due to COVID-19 has resulted in most of us remaining in Hong Kong for the summer holidays. Whilst bad for international travel, and tourism, personally there is nowhere I would rather be than right here in Sai Kung, enjoying the amazing ocean playground we have right on our doorstep.

ADAM GLENDINNING Rear Commodore—Sailing

At the Club, there is racing virtually every weekend throughout the summer. The Club has just completed the purchase of two additional J80s, making six available for hire when not in use either racing or for the sail training centre. In collaboration with the HKSF, the Club has started match race training and is establishing a match racing ladder to seed HHYC sailors. Drop into the STC to enquire about this exciting sport, and how you can get involved.

Outside of the Club, the water temperature has warmed up (bad for typhoon season, but great for swimming) and the beaches sit waiting for us. So, let’s get out and enjoy and all the things our great home has to offer on the water.

See you out there Adam

我 撰 寫 這 篇 文 章 的 時 候，是 春 季 系 列 賽 最 後 一 天 賽 事 即 將 舉 行 的 日 子，而 U K Sailmakers颱風系列和Peroni夏季週六系列也如箭在弦、一觸即發。今年各系列賽的參 賽帆船數字大增。在社交限制放寬後，帆船訓練中心變得非常忙碌。總體來說，遊艇會 將會有一個忙碌的夏季。 不久之前，帆船賽事全面暫停，帆船訓練中心也關上了大門。遊艇會的會所和餐廳，也 要實行非常嚴格的社交距離措施。不過，大家秉持著香港精神，也挺過了這段非常時 期。現在希望本地感染新冠病毒個案已經受控，大家又可以盡情享受本港的夏季。 早前因為疫情擴散，多國封關，實施旅遊限制，結果大部分人都留在香港。對於全球旅 遊業當然是很大打擊，但是我對於自己可以留在西貢，並且一踏出家門，就可以享受四 周美麗的海洋，卻感到樂也悠悠。 整個夏季，遊艇會基本上每個週末都有帆船賽事。遊艇會最近增添兩艘J-80，只要沒有 比賽或帆船訓練中心用不著J-80，遊艇會就有六艘可供租用。本遊艇會與香港帆船運動 總會合作，開展了賽事訓練，並設立了賽事階梯，培育白沙灣遊艇會航海員。有興趣的 朋友，可向帆船訓練中心查詢。 在遊艇會外面，海水已經升溫，最適合大家暢泳。沙灘都在呼喚我們，大家一起到海灘 去，好好享受這個夏季吧！海上見！

CLUB UPDATE

COVID-19 has driven everyone to pay extra attention to hygiene in recent months.

Everyone at HHYC has been wearing facial masks and regularly applying antiseptic hand sanitiser. We have also eliminated all unnecessary social gatherings. The Club has implemented a number of stringent measures including temperature checks for all members and visitors upon entry, and restriction on the number of guests each member is allowed to bring into the Club on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

I urge members to pay special attention to the following measures: 1.

2.

EDDY LO

Rear Commodore—Operations

All guests entering and leaving the Club must be accompanied by members.

On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, each member is only allowed to bring a maximum of four guests.

In relation to the arrangements for launching and positioning of vessels on the boat racks, decisions are made by the Club’s Marine Manager under the authority given in the Club Bye-laws. Every member, who has a boat registered in their name with the Club, may only use their own telephone number (listed as the point of contact with the Club) to request launches of their boat. No launch may be requested from any phone numbers other than those listed as the points of contact of the registered boat owner.

All non-members and any members—who are not registered boat owners at HHYC cannot make such bookings. Please pay attention to this arrangement.

Many storage boxes have been placed on the pontoons by members, adding to the overall load on the bridge. This creates difficulties for essential repair and maintenance works on the pontoons; and poses a risk to moored vessels. We urge you to remove all storage boxes on the pontoons as soon as possible. If members need to store any belongings at the Club, please contact the Marine Office to obtain a storage locker.

過去數月新型冠狀病毒疫情持續，使大家都必須注意個人衛生，無論是佩帶口罩及使用 消毒液作清潔，大家都採取必要的措施，以防感染。此外，因應政府的衛生條例訂明， 人群聚集的人數亦必須減少到指定人數。 會方一向有嚴謹管理，包括為進入會所人士量體溫，除此之外，星期六、日及公眾假 期，每位會員帶同賓客之人數均有管制。 希望各位會員嚴加注意以下有關事項： 1.

所有賓客進出船會必須由會員陪同。

2.

星期六、日及公眾假期，每位會員最多只可以帶同四位賓客。

有關船架船隻下水安排及位置調動，均由本會海事部經理在本會附例賦予的權力下決定及 處理。而每位會員只可以用一個登記電話號碼(必須與提交給本會登記電話號碼相同)，要 求本會讓船隻下水，非本會之登記船主，是不可要求本會讓船隻下水。換言之，即使你是 會員，而非本會登記船主或用其他電話號碼均不得進行預約，敬請大家注意以上安排。 另外，船橋上發現許多使用者擺設儲物箱，增加船橋重量負荷，這樣不但影響維修保養 情況，並且對大家的船隻也構成風險。請大家盡快將儲物箱搬離船橋。如使用者需要儲 存雜物，請諮詢海事部以提供儲物櫃使用。

On a historical note; in 1963 a group of boaters and sailing enthusiasts were looking for a suitable location to establish a yacht club, while the Anglo-Oriental Company had just completed construction of a large dredge at the present RSYC site. Soon, with the co-operation and assistance from the Port Authority, the site was formed into a yacht club. In the early years, the Club invested in building a 20-ton slipway, serving hundreds of members and visitors over the years.

說到遊艇會的歷史 ; 就要由一九六三年說起，有一 群划船者和航 海愛好者，為尋找合 適的地點成 立 一個遊艇會。當時Anglo Oriental公司剛好在遊艇會 現址完成了疏浚工作，於是，在港口當局的合作和 協助下，成立了遊艇會。遊艇會早年斥資建造了一 條二十噸的下水滑道，多年來服務數以千計的會員 和訪客。 到了一九七二年，遊艇會易名為雪蘭莪遊艇會，並

In 1972, there was a name change to 'Selangor Yacht Club'. Further investment was made on a pontoon system imported from Sweden, allowing members and their guests to board in comfort and safety. In March 1989, the 'Royal Selangor Yacht Club' was officially opened— given its new name by the Patron, His Royal Highness the Sultan of Selangor. His Royal Highness was a frequent visitor to the Club with his family members; he, therefore, awarded the Club his warrant. In 2019, RSYC celebrated its 50th Anniversary.

投資購買來自瑞典的浮橋設備，讓會員和賓客於上 落船時更加舒適 安全。由於雪蘭 莪 蘇丹殿下和皇 室成員，經常到訪遊艇會，殿下於一九八九年三月 正式賜名「皇家雪蘭莪遊艇會」。二零一九年，是遊 艇會慶祝成立五十年的日子。

每 年 二 月 到 十月 期 間，遊 艇 會 都 會 舉 辦 各 種 帆 船 比 賽 活 動 和 課 程。想 要 學 習 或 者 首 次 接 觸 帆

The Club yacht racing schedule runs from February to October each year and includes a variety of race types and courses. Also, there are several options for people who wish to learn sailing or just to experience sailing for the first time. Such as the Club's Farr 25 Platu sports boats, which are available both for charter and for keelboat training courses. A fleet of Optimists, Bytes and Lasers are used for dinghy training, and a sponsored programme provides local Malaysian youngsters with the opportunity to learn the sport and to compete in regional and national regattas.

船 的 朋 友，也 有 很 多 課 程 可 供 選 擇。遊 艇 會 的 Farr 25 Platu船 隻 可供 租 用，也 用 於 龍 骨 船 培 訓 課 程。Optimists、Bytes和Lasers型 號 組 成 的 船 隊， 則 用 作 小 艇 培 訓。本 地 馬 來 西 亞 年 輕 人 則 可 以 通 過 贊 助 計 畫，學 習 帆 船 運 動，並 於 區 域 和 國 際 帆 船 賽 中 競 技。
