REPORTS

It is very pleasing to see that our lives are starting to get back to normal with the Club becoming extremely busy. As we can see from the news in other countries, the pandemic is far from over. Nevertheless, there are recent massive increases in the cost of shipping and commodities, which represent a positive change in global demand. I can see a “bright light shining at the end of this tunnel”. But this is not a justification to relax our personal precautions and I ask all those who can do so, to please get vaccinated.

We are planning many exciting sailing events, and these are discussed at length in other reports in this issue, and I have “my fingers crossed” that the pandemic allows us to carry them out.

DON JOHNSTON

A members' survey has been completed, and you should have seen a summary sent by email. As a high-level comment, the Club received good marks, and there were no real surprises in the list of items requiring the attention of management and the General Committee. Many of the items have solutions that depend on regulatory approvals, all of which we are working on—a close reading of the Vice Commodore’s report in each issue is very informative. You do need to keep in mind that development (regardless of size) requiring regulatory approval takes at least seven years from start to finish.

Commodore There has been improper use of the pontoons by both members and nonmembers, and management is acting to resolve this problem. For those members deprived of your entitlement of pontoon use, I ask for both your patience and your cooperation in identifying misuse or abuse of the pontoons by sending an email with supporting details to the General Manager.

There are many other positive actions underway, and I urge you to read the various reports in this Hebe Jebes to stay abreast of our progress.

很高興看到我們的生活開始恢復正常，最近遊艇會的活動也開始多了起來。世界各地 的疫情尚未穩定下來， 運輸和商品的成本大幅度增加，這是全球經濟開始活躍的跡 象，可以看到局勢出現好轉。但謹記切勿鬆懈，我希望大家儘早接種疫苗。 我們正在籌劃不少精彩有趣的帆船賽事，本期會刊的相關文章將提供更詳細的資訊， 我期望疫情維持穩定，賽事才能順利開展。 關於內部事務，本會的問卷調查已經結束，會員可在郵箱閱覽本會寄出的調查結果。 整體來說，遊艇會得到良好評價，管理層和執行委員會都非常了解會員在調查裡面提 出的建議和需求，許多工程項目需得到監管部門批准後才能進行下一步的行動，會員 可從副會長在每一期的報告得知項目的最新進展。一般來說，不論是大或小的工程 項目需要獲得監管部門的批准，才能開展，從開工到竣工的過程至少需時7年。 近日發現會員和非會員都有不當使用船橋的情況，管理部門正在採取行動解決這一 問題。對於未能使用船橋的會員，若發現任何人濫用或不當使用船橋的情況，煩請電 郵告知總經理，在此感謝你們的耐心和協助。 本會還有許多其他活動項目進行中，敦促各位會員翻閱本期會刊，以便及時了解進展。

REPORTS

Masterplan The Access lift, new storage area for kitchen and Garden Bar Project—including FM200 removal from BD submission—draft submission is ready for review by Arup and HHYC. We may later need to install a water tank or FM200 fire-suppression system when the new Regatta Deck area is built.

Knight Frank will soon submit documentation to the Town Planning Board with the required design work for a permanent concrete structure to replace the garden bar tent and later to the Lands Department regarding the lease modification. The proposed Regatta deck will be included in this submission. The operational needs of all HHYC departments who will use this multi-purpose space including the Sailing Centre (for sail training), Sailability (for disabled sailor training), F&B (for functions such as weddings, banquets, BBQs etc.), Membership (for AGMs and EGMs) have been consulted to ensure the design is fit for purpose.

A total of 53 members joined the members' webinars. We have uploaded the Zoom video recordings and the PowerPoints to the HHYC website.

PAUL ARKWRIGHT Vice Commodore

Marina Projects Marine pile cap fixing Six plastic protection caps have been ordered, are scheduled to arrive in mid-March, with installation scheduled to be completed by early April.

Marina pile long-term replacement project To facilitate the replacement of the marina piles and ensure the pontoons' long-term stability, preparatory Ground Investigation (GI) works are required before design works.

The GI tender draft document will be ready in mid of March 2021. The GI works on the seabed will tentatively commence by early June, subject to the tender process. Notice to members on relevant berths will be issued before this as a reminder that their vessels will be temporarily relocated during the time the GI works occur in their berth.

Boatrack safety walkways Regarding the retrofit of safety walkways to the boatracks, the first BD submission was made on 11 February 2021. Following BD approval for the design, tenders will be sought for the walkway building works.

Slope rectification work The Club maintenance team has made interim repairs to the crumbling slope adjacent to the club driveway ramp. We will then get an arborist and/or slope contractor to professionally survey the area and assess any remaining underlying safety issues.

We are examining solutions to try and deter illegal parking in the area of land at the top of the slope (adjacent to Hiram's Highway, which sits between the pavement and the Club driverway). If this issue is resolved, this will then afford better visibility for members driving out of the Club and turning right onto Hiram's Highway.

Refurbishment of club changing rooms The Club is planning a complete refurbishment of the members' toilets and changing rooms. To facilitate this, we are making arrangements for a decent temporary toilet block with a shower to be placed in the car park to accommodate members while the existing changing rooms are being refurbished.

Mobile shower and toilet block for boatyard staff We are examining options for portable toilets and showers to be placed in the boatyard, near the ramp to the pontoons, for shipyard workers and other contractors. These would feature separate sewage holding tanks underneath with a regular pump out and cleaning service to be arranged. Additionally, these sewage tanks may also be utilised to allow members to pump out their boat grey tanks.

總體規劃 入口升降機、新廚房儲存室、花園酒吧項目(即從 花園酒吧和儲存室的總建築平面圖中刪除FM200氣 體滅火系統)的初步方案已完成，待Arup和本會進 一步討論。新帆船甲板建成後，我們可能需要安裝 一個水箱或FM200氣體滅火系統。 Knight Frank 即將向城市規劃委員會提交文件，其 中包括以混凝土取代花園酒吧帳幕的設計項目；擬 議的新帆船甲板項目也包括其中，我們已諮詢所有 將使用甲板下方底層的開方空間的人士：航行中心 （該空間可用於風帆訓練）、航行香港（該空間用 於傷健水手訓練）、餐飲（該空間可用於婚禮、宴 會、燒烤等場合）以及會員，確保稍後草擬的設計 符合未來用途。隨後亦會向地政總署提交有關租約 修訂的文件。 日前共有53位會員參加網絡研討會，其視像和PPT 已上傳本會網站供其他會員瀏覽。

REPORTS

Dear Members There is not much more to say about the Covid-19 anymore…the updates of restrictions are being forwarded to members every 14 days, and I can only encourage everybody to register for their COVID vaccinations to help get everything under control in Hong Kong. Luckily, our sailing programmes and regattas have not been affected that much. It was good to see so many people, especially kids, out on the water having a good time!

RENE VERHULST General Manager

Racing We have a busy two months ahead of us, starting with HKSF Race Management Seminars on 8 and 15 May. Then the excitement really starts with the Open Dinghy Regatta (22 and 23 May) surrounded by 10 days of the Capital Company Steering the Course Women’s Sailing Festival (21 – 30 May), which will include the Inter-club Ladies Champs Regatta, Sailing ‘taster’ sessions, a Wellness Day, a quiz evening and loads of great F&B events.

There has been an increasing number of ‘no-shows’ on the restaurant terrace during weekends after members had made reservations, which means we end up with empty tables. To help avoid this and provide more flexibility for members physically present and wishing to dine at the Club, we now only accept reservations up to 50% of capacity for lunch and dinner on the terrace on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. 最近在遊艇會餐廳，越來越多的會員在預定露台的座位後卻沒有現身，為了避免這種情形，及讓更多會員受惠，餐廳將在 星期五、六及日開放一半的座位接受午、晚的預訂。

HONG KONG NATIONAL MATCH RACING CHAMPIONSHIPS DAY 1

Hong Kong National Match Racing Championships Day 1 2021 全港對抗賽錦標賽 ( 第 1 日賽況 ) Over the weekend of the 3 and 4 April 2021, HHYC, in conjunction with the Hong Kong Sailing Federation, hosted the first Hong Kong National Match Racing Championships for several years.

在2021年4月3、4日，白沙灣遊艇會與香港帆船

As explained by Bob Vart, Assistant Race Officer for the day, match racing is by no means new to Hong Kong. He was a keen competitor in Impala match racing back in the 1980s. Also, back in 2014 and 2015, soon after the arrival in Hong Kong of a fleet of J80s, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club organised two international events, over which Race Officer of the day, Inge Strompf, also officiated.

正如該日助理賽事主任Bob

The hope is that match racing’s resurrection this Easter will entice more youngsters into the sport.

寄望今年復活節的比賽將吸引更多的年輕人參

With 10 teams entered, the first part of the event comprised a round robin, in which each team would race against each other. With six J80s available, this meant 15 flights were scheduled, each comprising three matches for a total of 45 matches. The top four teams would progress to the semi-finals, and final rounds to be held on Sunday.

這次比賽 共有10支隊伍參加。第一環節是循環

The breeze was relatively light as Strompf settled the committee boat in the centre of Port Shelter on Saturday morning, 3 April.

4月3日(星期六)的上午，清風徐徐，Strompf將

A winch problem on one of the J80s meant that the backup boat had to be brought into use, resulting in a postponement of the 1100 start. During this time, the Force 2 southeasterly began to build, allowing the RO to set three windward marks, at a distance of 0.4 nautical miles, at 125, 130 and 135 degrees. The outer two provided alternatives, if needed, in the event of wind shifts. With just two boats in each match race, a relatively short line of 80 metres was set.

比賽在香港並不是一件新鮮的事。他本人正是 80年代Impala比賽的積極賽手。在2014及2015 年，在J80s船艦 抵達 香港不久後，香港遊 艇會 就舉辦了兩項國際活動，當時的賽事幹事Inge Strompf也主持了這兩項活動。

船停泊在牛尾海中心。

備用船，以致賽事延遲開始。期間，二級東南風 開始增強，賽事主任在0.4海里位置分別設置125 度、130度和135度放置了3個迎風標。其中，外邊 的兩個賽標可以在風向改變時用作迎風標。每 一場比賽只有兩艘船參賽，比賽的終點線相對 較短，為80米。

The first flight lasted longer than expected, so, for the second, the windward mark was brought in to 0.35 nautical miles, shortening the match time to around 16 minutes for two laps. Considering rigging issues and the need on occasions for crews to switch boats, time was of the essence to complete the schedule.

由於第一次回合所花費的時間比預期長，賽事 主任把第二回合的迎風標拉近至距離為0.35海 里，成功令兩圈比賽時間縮短至16分鐘左右。由 於調帆及賽手對位換船需時，要確保比賽按時 完成的話，時間控制至關重要。

However, the breeze—while building in strength to between 8 and 10 knots— was not co-operating. Swinging westwards, Mark Dowding, the mark laying maestro, was constantly called upon to re-lay the windward marks or notify the sailors on the water of changes. In the end, windward marks were between 230

and 265 degrees—a huge shift from their original positions. This all added to the technical challenges of the competitors and management.

通知水手們風向的變化。最後，風向標誌在維持230度到265 度之間，與它們最初的位置相比有很大的變化，對賽事主委 會和參賽選手而言產生了不少技術上的挑戰。

Many of the sailors were a little rusty, and there were several newcomers to the match racing discipline. But it was pleasing to see the three major yacht clubs entering youth teams with HHYC represented by two teams made up of Hebe Dragons dinghy sailors. Aberdeen Boat Club and the Hong Kong Sports Institute were represented by two teams of 29er sailors and the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club by members of the Sharks, all with an experienced coach onboard. However, this again proved challenging since, for many, it was their first introduction to spinnaker poles and spinnakers. J80s typically use asymmetric kites but, to improve visibility, all boats were re-rigged for spinnakers. Occasional delays to the programme occurred when spinnaker halyards had to be retrieved from mast heads—Sam Sakai did a splendid job volunteering to retrieve them, earning himself a Race Officer’s prize.

許多有經驗的水手的技巧有些生疏，但看到不少新面孔。值 得高興的是，三個主要遊艇會加入了兩支由龍隊小艇水手組 成的白沙灣遊艇會代表青年隊。香港仔遊艇會和香港體育學 院分別派出29名水手組成的隊伍和鯊魚競賽隊，隊員均有經 驗豐富的教練隨行。然而，他們需面臨一項新的挑戰，這可是 他們第一次認識三角帆桿和三角帆。因為 j80通常使用不對 稱三角帆，但為了提高可見性，所有的船都重新裝配了對稱 三角帆。要等一個人從桅杆頂上取回三角帆升降繩索時，賽 事偶爾會出現延誤，而Sam Sakai主動要求完成此項工作，表 現優異，為自己贏得了大賽幹事獎。

Some skippers were less familiar with the starting procedures for match racing, perhaps having not followed the America’s Cup. On several occasions, boats failed to enter the starting box on time or from the on-course side, whilst other more wily competitors managed to prevent their opposition from entering on time, inducing penalties and, in some cases, black flag disqualifications.

有些隊伍對比賽的開始流程不太熟悉，可能沒有看過美洲盃 的帆船賽。看到不少情景是船隻未能準時進入賽道或從賽道 旁側進入，還有其他更狡猾的競爭者設法阻止他們的對手準 時進入賽區，觸及處罰；有的甚至被取消參賽資格。

With no further flights permitted after 1630, the race management team managed to complete seven of the 15 round robin flights for a total of 21 of the 45 matches.

在下午4時30分後，據賽委會統計已完成7場循環賽（共15場）

At the end of Day 1, Andy Pidden and Mark Thornborrow, having sailed four races each, were both undefeated. Duncan Gregor completed five races with four wins and one loss to Thornborrow.

There, a 12-knot easterly prevailed.

Ahead lay a hectic schedule, involving eight flights of three matches each (i.e.

24 races) to complete the round robin before 1530, hopefully just enough time for a semi-final and final.

比賽的日程安排非常緊湊，選手們得完成8個回合，

Race Officer Inge Strompf and her team of volunteers were keen to get racing underway, so they arranged for Douglas Waterston, who had taken over mark laying duties, to drop the three windward marks at a distance of 0.32 nautical miles at 085, 095 and 105 degrees. The leeward mark was close to the committee boat.

Flight 8, Match 1, between Alfred Okoth and Daniel Dolega, got underway at 1107, Match 2, between Adam Glendinning and Jono Slattery, followed five minutes later, with Glendinning being black-flagged and disqualified after three penalties, the last for being a fraction too early at the start. Duncan Gregor then took on Chan Yuk Wah (Fajai) in the final match of the first flight of the day.

在第8回合裡的第1場比賽是Alfred

Okoth對戰Daniel

Dolega；第2場是Adam Glendinning對戰Jono Slattery。 比賽開始

5分鐘後，Glendinning被罰黑旗，並在三次處

罰後被取消比賽資格，最後一次處罰是因為其船隻提早 開始航行。第3場是Duncan Gregor迎戰Chan Yuk Wah ( 花仔)。

Seven further flights of three matches each followed, with especially keen and competitive sailing, despite the fluky breeze, again resulting in frequent switches between the windward marks. Even with the drop in temperature to 21 degrees from 30 on Saturday and the drizzle that settled in mid-afternoon, spirits remained high.

隨後的比賽儘管伴隨著不穩定的微風，賽況炙熱不減， 風向標誌頻繁轉換。儘管氣溫從週六的30度降到了21度， 下午3點左右還下著毛毛雨，但選手們的情緒依然高漲。

Amongst the most exciting races were two in the final flight of the round robin – Flight 15. The first was between Andy Pidden and Duncan Gregor, both tied with seven wins apiece and both beaten only by Thornborrow. With Pidden penalised in the pre-start, Gregor managed to take the lead at the start and hold on to it to win the match. The final match in the round robin saw Daniel Dolega and his young crew, with three wins out of eight, take on Ben Gunton and his youngsters with two wins. Very close racing followed right up to the finish, thrilling the competing crews resting on the committee vessel and on the six spectator boats that ventured out to support the event. Gunton just managed to squeeze across the line to level their scores of three wins apiece.

當日有兩場最激動人心的比賽。一是在Andy Pidden對戰

Time constraints meant there were no semi-finals or finals, but, fortunately, the round robin results clearly defined the top three places.

由於時間所限，未能進行半決賽和決賽。不過循環賽的

Cynthia Law generated much excitement amongst the young sailors, watching from Hebe One, in Flight 13, Match 3, when she avoided two protests by Chan Yuk Wah (Fajai) to take the lead across the start line, only to be overhauled and finish the event with just one victory.

Duncan Gregor，兩人平手，均不敵Mark Thornborrow。 因賽前Pidden受罰，Gregor在一開始領先，並一直保 持著優勢，最終贏得了比賽。二是Daniel

Dolega和Ben

Gunton的對決，前者在八場比賽中取得了三場胜利，後 者則取得兩場胜利。鄰近終點線時的賽況非常緊張，讓 坐在司令船上和六艘船隻冒險前來支持這項賽事的人 員興奮不已。最後Ben Gunton勉強擠過終點線，與Daniel Dolega比分扳平。

結果已知道了前三名的名單。 Law那一場掀起不少波瀾，在第3場的13回合的

比賽中，她無顧Chan Yuk Wah（花仔）的兩次抗議，領先 出發，但最終被淘汰，以一勝的成績結束賽事。

Adam Glendinning and Alfred Okoth both finished with two wins, while Daniel Dolega and Ben Gunton finished with three apiece. Jono Slattery and Chan Yuk Wah (Fajai) both won five of their nine races. Andy Pidden claimed 3rd place with seven wins. Duncan Gregor finished 2nd with eight victories leaving Mark Thornborrow, celebrating his 61st birthday, to take 1st place with a clean sweep. Attributed, as he explained, “to experience and teamwork of his competent crew.”

綜合以上，Adam

Back at the Garden Bar, where social distancing was still being observed, a mini prizegiving was held, the first in recent times.

回到白沙灣遊艇會，參賽者在保持社交距離的情況下，舉行了

The format of the event was such that the youngsters were all keen to take on the more experienced guns, and especially Mark Thornborrow. At the end of the day, Thornborrow gave much credit to the youngsters and especially Duncan Gregor. Sympathetic to Gregor, who lost his only race to Thornborrow, he commented, “We all have to learn to lose sometime”. Adding later, it was something he would also have to learn with the kids kicking at his heels!

因為賽制的設定，年輕人都熱切期待與資深水手較量，尤其是

Summing up the event, Adam Glendinning, Rear Commodore Sailing, HHYC; and Inge Strompf, Race Officer expressed gratitude to all the volunteers, umpires, officials and participating sailors who made it such a fun and memorable event. The young sailors, gunning to topple their elders, were an encouraging sign, as were the friendly relationships between not only the crews from the different yacht clubs but also with the umpires and officials.

在會上的總結環節，白沙灣遊艇會的賽事委員會副會長Adam

As explained by Senior Official Tom Sheppard, it is hoped in future that each of the yacht clubs will develop their own match racing events, the best of whom would then compete in next year’s Nationals and perhaps compete again in international events.

正如高級賽事主任Tom Sheppard所説，未來每個遊艇會都希望

Glendinning和Alfred

Okoth獲兩勝，Daniel

Dolega和Ben Gunton獲三勝。 Jono Slattery和Chan Yuk Wah（ 花仔）皆五勝。Andy Pidden以七勝名列第三；Duncan Gregor以 八勝名列第二，而當日慶祝61歲生日的Mark Thornborrow則以 大勝的成績名列第一，他認為這得歸功於「船員的豐富經驗和 團隊的緊密合作」。

Glendinning、賽事主任Inge Strompf對所有志願者、裁判、工作 人員和參賽者表示感謝，是他們讓比賽變得如此有趣和難忘； 看到不少年輕的水手們努力超越他們的前輩，這是令人鼓舞 的，還看到來自不同遊艇會的船員、與裁判和工作人員之間的 友好相處，非常高興。

WHAT MAKES WOMEN GREAT SAILORS?

The Maiden Team 2019 - Sailing The World to Promote Access to Education for All Young Girls and Women

What makes women great sailors? 是什麼讓女性成為傑出的水手？

by Sandra Snell Well, the logical answer would be the same things that make men great sailors!

However, there still remains a perception that women must somehow justify their talents to a greater extent than their male counterparts.

按道理說，男性和女性成為傑出水手的影響因素應該是一樣

Gender bias in sport is slowly but surely fading across the spectrum of sporting opportunities worldwide, and the confidence of women to tackle just about any sport has taken huge leaps in recent years. For today's younger generations, gender differences appear to be far less significant, and there is a distinct shift in culture toward respect for equal participation in the sporting arena. Spectators are also starting to view sport differently. It is thrilling to watch a game of women's football.

Let's be honest; there do seem to be far less theatrics and drama queen moments when the girls play; it's simply entertaining sport!

在全球各項體育賽事中，性別偏見是存在的，但肯定會逐漸

Women have made their mark on the world sailing stage in impressive ways. In 1989, a sailor by the name of Tracy Edwards assembled and skippered the first-ever all-female racing team to compete in the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race. From all reports, this was an extremely controversial move, not only raising fierce opposition amongst race organisers but also fellow competitors. There was much scepticism about the women actually ‘surviving’ the circumnavigation! Yet not only did they survive, they won two race legs and finished in second place n their division. Tracy's boat was called Maiden, and in more recent years, she has used Maiden to spearhead a campaign designed to empower and mentor girls through education, particularly in nations where women have difficulty accessing education. Tracy founded The Maiden Factor Foundation https:// www.themaidenfactor.org/ to fund this extraordinary initiative. The 2018 film Maiden is also a very successful documentary about the ground-breaking Whitbread Round the World Race, and I am sure those who have seen it will agree that it is inspirational viewing.

女性以令人印象深刻的方式在世界帆船舞台上留下了自己的

的。然而，社會有一些人會覺得，女性必須以某種方式比男性 更努力，以證明自己的能力。

消失，現在女性參與任何體育項目的信心在近年來都有了巨 大的飛躍。對今天的年輕一代來說，性別差異似乎並沒有那麼 顯著，文化也有明顯的轉變，傾向於對平等參與體育競技的互 相尊重；觀眾對體育的看法也開始有所不同。例如，不少觀眾 收看女子足球比賽的時候，非常激動。說實話，當女性參與賽 事的時候，沒有那些戲劇化的場景，她們覺得這是一項令人激 動、充滿動力的運動，僅此而已！

痕跡。 1989年，一位名叫Tracy Edwards的水手組建並率領了 有史以來首支全女子賽艇隊參加懷特布萊德環球帆船賽。據 當時的媒體報導來看，這是一個極具爭議性的舉動，引起了 賽委會和其他參賽者的強烈反對。很多人認為這些女性很難 在這些賽事中爭取任何成績。然而，他們不僅留到最後，還贏 得了兩場比賽，最終在所屬組別獲得第二名。Tracy的船被稱 為“Maiden”，近年來，她利用“Maiden”發起了一場活動，旨在通 過教育賦予女性權力並給予相應的指導，特別是在那些女性難 以接受教育的國家。Tracy 創立了“Maiden Factor Foundation” (https://www.themaidenfactor.org/) 來資助這一非凡的舉措。 2018年的電影《Maiden》是一部關於懷特布萊德環球帆船賽首 支全女子參賽隊伍的傳奇故事，值得一看，非常勵志。

The Whitbread Round the World Race subsequently evolved to become the Volvo Ocean Race (VOR), which has now morphed again to be known as The Ocean Race.

In the 2014 – 2015 VOR series, Samantha Davies assembled an all-female crew on Team SCA. It had been twelve years since a woman had raced in the VOR. Sam is well known to those who keenly follow ocean racing and the Vendée Globe in particular.

This solo, non-stop circumnavigation, devoid of any outside tactical assistance, has to be the most gruelling and challenging sailing race in existence, and Sam has been a multi-race competitor over many years. In 2008, she finished in 4th place on her boat Roxy. The 2020 – 2021 Vendée Globe had the greatest number of yachtswomen competing to date. Pip Hare, a British competitor, finished in 19th place out of the 33 competitors taking part in this edition. On her website, Pip stated, "More men have walked on the moon than women have completed the Vendée Globe, which is all the inspiration I needed”.

懷特布萊德環球帆船賽隨後演變為沃爾沃環球帆船賽， 同時也叫做 海洋競賽。在2014-2015年的海洋競賽系列 中，Samantha Davies組建了一個全女性的隊伍SCA團隊， 那時已經有12年沒有女性參與賽事了。Samantha在那 些熱心參與海洋競賽，特別是旺迪單人不靠岸環球航海 賽，為人所知。這一支隊伍經過不間斷的環球航行，沒有 任何外來援助，是最艱苦和具有挑戰性的帆船比賽。不 過，Samantha擁有豐富的航海經驗，曾參與不同類別的 帆船賽事。她與自己的船隻Roxy在2008年斬獲第四名。 2020-2021年的Vendée Globe 是歷年來最多女選手參與的 屆別。而來自英國的女選手Pip Hare在33名參賽者中獲得 第19名，她在自己的網站上說：「在月球上留下足跡的男性 比完成的旺Vendée Globe航海賽的女性還多，這就是我持 續下去的動力。」

Back to the VOR, in the 2017 – 2018 edition of the race, organisers made a very bold decision for which they need a big pat on the back! They endorsed a change of rule, which made it advantageous for teams to include females. Shock! Horror! This was entertainingly controversial for a while until the dust settled, and as the race progressed, it seemed that the women were equal to the task. All boats eventually included women in their crews, and the great hope is that the precedent is now set to welcome women sailors to the event in the longer term.

話說回來，2017-2018年的沃爾沃環球帆船賽的賽委會做了 一個非常大膽的決定，他們贊成改變規則，讓女性參賽。 不少人感到震驚、遲疑，一時間成為話題。直到塵埃落定， 隨著賽事的進行，看來接納女參賽者是明智的決定。所有 的船隊最終都有女性的身影，創立了女性參與的先例。 然而據報導，一位傑出的女船長極耗力氣也找不到一席之

One extraordinary female sailor, however, had reportedly struggled to find a place on a team and eventually assembled her own team, Turn the Tide on Plastic, which she skippered. She was also determined that her crew composition would be 50% females and sailors under 30 years old. This skipper was Dee Caffari, who is one of the most accomplished and courageous ocean sailors. She was the first female to ever sail singlehanded, non-stop around the world in both directions, and she has circumnavigated numerous times, setting speed records along the way. She has an MBE in recognition of her achievements. And still she could not secure herself a place on a VOR mixed team without forming her own team, where she set about paving the way for inclusiveness of gender and age in top-level sailing. The moral here is don't despair ladies; if it takes you a while to be accepted on a local Hong Kong team, Dee knows how it feels!

WHAT MAKES WOMEN GREAT SAILORS?

Julie Hylton is the founder of the company 12º West. Having never stepped on a boat until she moved to New York City, as an adult, she learned to sail on New York Harbour and declared, “From the moment I first took the helm, I fell in love … I found confidence, exhilaration and freedom in the sport." While Julie went on to develop a range of sailing clothing specifically for women, she committed to featuring and promoting the achievements of yachtswomen on her website.

Julie Hylton 是 12ºWest 的創始人，在她搬到紐約之前從未登

While many sailors start their adventures as young dinghy sailors and progress to professional sailing careers, this is not the pathway for everyone. There are many talented sailors who develop their interest later in life and find opportunities for a range of sailing experiences.

許多水手年輕的時候，從小帆船開始他們的航海歷程，然後

There is a less well-known series that is a tough, challenging ocean race for amateurs.

The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race (https://www.clipperroundtheworld.com/) is a race for everyone—inclusive of age, gender and ability. A sailor can choose to compete in one or more legs of the race or complete the entire circumnavigation. In the 2017 - 2018 edition of the Clipper race, Wendy Tuck became the first-ever female skipper to win any around the world yacht race.

還有一個不太為人所知的系列賽—克利伯帆船賽(https://

上過船，成年後她在紐約港學會了航行，並宣稱「從我第一 次掌舵的那一刻起，我就愛上了它。對Julie來說，她在這項運 動中找到了自信、動力和自由。她一邊研發一系列專門為女 性設計的帆船服裝，一邊不遺餘力地在自己的網站上宣傳女 帆船運動員的成就。

走上職業帆船運動員之路，但這並不是適合每個人。有許多 有才華的水手，後期他們專心發展個人興趣，並收穫各種各樣 的航海經驗。

www.clipperroundtheworld.com/)，對業餘選手來說是一場 艱苦、具有挑戰性的航海比賽。克利伯環球帆船賽是一場不 分年齡、性別和能力的全民帆船賽。水手可以選擇參加一個 或多個賽段的比賽，也可以選擇完成整個環球航行。 在2017-2018年的克利伯帆船賽上，Wendy Tuck成為首位贏得世

To add to her accolades, she was awarded the Australian Sailor of the Year in 2018.

Wendy had not taken an interest in sailing until she was in her mid-twenties but had been inspired by other yachtswomen, including Ellen MacArthur and Kay Cottee.

After her Clipper success, Wendy gave an interview to London's Daily Telegraph, in which she said, "If one little girl sees this, sees it can be done and has a go, that will be what matters to me." The second-placed yacht in that race series was also skippered by a woman. Nikki Henderson, a British national, was only 24 years old upon completing the 2017 – 2018 circumnavigation. To safely skipper a powerful 70ft yacht around the world with a team of amateur sailors, racing through some of the most hostile oceans on earth is no mean feat. The only two women skippers in this race took first and second place out of twelve entrants.

界各地遊艇比賽的女船長。此外，她還在2018年獲得了澳大利

All of these great women sailors have attributes in common. They have had a dream and made it happen. It started with a love for the water and the sport but took commitment, physical fitness, resilience, confidence and above all, a belief in what they had to offer. Each success included a tale of hurdles and challenges to those dreams. Ellen MacArthur's extraordinary story of survival and success in the 2000-2001 Vendée Globe is a riveting read in her book, Taking on the World. Just getting to the start line was a tale of survival for Ellen.

所有這些傑出的女水手都有共同的特點：他們都有夢想，並

亞年度水手獎。Wendy直到25歲左右，才對帆船運動產生了興 趣，並受Ellen MacArthur和Kay Cottee等其他帆船女運動員的啟 發才投身帆船運動。在「克利伯帆船賽」後，Wendy接受倫敦《 每日電訊報》的採訪，她在採訪中說：「如果一個小女孩在聽到 我的故事之後，覺得自己可以做到，並努力嘗試，這對我來說才 是重要的。」在該系列比賽中，名列第二的也是一名女性船長， 是來自英國的Nikki Henderson。她完成2017-2018年環球航行時 只有24歲。要帶領一群業餘水手安全駕駛一艘70英尺長的遊艇 環遊世界，在地球上最險惡的海洋中航行絕非易事。這次比賽 中僅有的兩名女船長在12名參賽者中分別名列第一和第二。

努力實現夢想。僅僅對海洋、體育的熱愛是不夠的，還需要毅 力、體力、適應逆境的能力還有自信，最重要的是對他們自己 長久堅持下來的信念。每一個成功故事的背後，都有障礙和 挑戰。Ellen MacArthur在2000-2001年出版的“Taking on the World”（意為「向世界宣戰」）一書中講述了關於生存和成功 的非凡故事，這本書非常值得一讀。對Ellen來說，僅僅是到達 起跑線就是一個努力掙扎、生存的故事。

These attributes and challenges are not gender-specific, though. There are a great number of remarkable and awe-inspiring achievements of yachtsmen who have struggled equally to realise their dreams. Sailing with and learning from men can be extremely rewarding and enjoyable as it offers new and different perspectives within the sport. We all have a common goal to sail fast and to have fun, and along the way, we often share common colourful language!

不過，這些挑戰並不是個別性別所經歷的，有大量卓越的和令 人欽佩的帆船運動員，他們也需要以難以想像的努力才能實現 他們的夢想。我曾與和男帆船運動員一起航行，受益匪淺，提 供了不一樣的視角讓我看待這一項運動，是寶貴的學習機會。 不論男女，我們都有一個共同的目標，就是快速地航行並同時 享受樂趣，一路上我們分享了不少豐富、精彩的經驗和故事。

Providing opportunities and incentives for increased gender balance at all levels of sailing will benefit everyone.

在所有級別的帆船比賽中提供機會和獎勵以促進性別平等，

"When you're on the water, the only thing that matters is how fast you're going"

就如 Martine Grael 所說：「當

FROM VENICE TO VANGS INTERVIEW WITH MIRNA ZORDAN (MIA)

From Venice to vangs Interview with Mirna Zordan (Mia)

與水的不解之緣，踏上航行道路—始於水上之都威尼斯 與 Mirna Zordan 的對談

32

When did you start sailing, and how did you come to know HHYC? 你從什麼時候開始航海的？你是幾時和如何得悉白沙灣遊艇會？

Since I was a kid, I have always lived close to the water; it has always been there and was with me during my all life. I thought about getting closer to sailing a long time ago back in Venice when I was having a walk; it was the perfect environment, a city born and built literally on the water and close to the open sea, with a marvellous sailing school, the city that gave her name to the Moro di Venezia, the first boat that made Italy dream in 1992 during the Louis Vuitton Cup. However, I couldn’t make that happen at that time, and I carried this deep-seated passion with me for a while. Then I came to Hong Kong, another city with unique access to water, a fantastic place for sailing with astonishing natural resources, and I decided to make this happen regardless of time-of-life constraints. That’s when I finally could get closer to the magnificence of this incredible sport and way of life.

I started sailing last year, casually cruising on a Hebe boat, and after that, I was looking into sailing classes for beginners; I was very excited to start this new adventure. In no time, I came to know Hebe Haven Yacht Club and its wonderful staff. It was an astonishing experience; I am immensely grateful for all the effort and perseverance of HHYC in making sailing opportunities available for everybody in both dinghies and keelboats, giving me the chance to keep practising, improving my skills, learning more and even getting the chance to go racing very soon. It has been a wonderful beginning, and I feel like my journey has just started.

久以前，我在威尼斯散步的時候，就想過要出海。威尼斯擁 有得天獨厚的環境，誕生並建造在水上的城市，還孕育了一 個出色的帆船學校，命名為「威尼斯摩洛號」，這是1992年路 易威登杯的比賽，讓意大利奪獎的第一艘船。然而，當時的 我還沒有足夠的水平在帆船比賽奪獎，可我的內心悄悄埋下 種子，讓熱誠慢慢萌生。輾轉間我來到了香港，另一個擁有 獨特水源的城市，擁有絕佳的自然資源，實在是一個航海的 好地方。我不管生活、時間製造多少限制，我只想實現自己 的目標。那時，我終於有機會嘗試帆船運動，又或者説嘗試 另一種生活。我去年開始航海，在一艘Hebe的船上進行了一 次巡航，之後我就在考慮為初學者開設航海課程。一想到這 一點，我就難掩興奮，開始新的冒險是非常刺激的。不久，我 就認識了白沙灣遊艇會以及其員工。這是一次令人難忘的經 歷。我非常感謝遊艇會的努力和堅持，讓每個人都有機會在 小艇和龍骨船上航行；讓我有機會不斷練習，提高自己的技 能，很快就能參加比賽。這是一個美好的開始，我的航海之 旅才剛剛起步。

challenges to sailing?

你覺得如何推動帆船和其他水上活動，使之成為不分年齡、性別和能力，

於你而言，航行最大的挑戰是什麼？

If I had to list one difficulty that I’ve had during my start in sailing, I would say that a major one, even though I feel I cannot really call it a ‘major’, is actually related to getting access to sailing opportunities (especially on keelboats), but as I said the journey has just started and opportunities are now coming up like bees on honey. Some people asked me what the biggest sailing challenges are as a woman, and I personally think that there are not (or there should not be) any challenges for a woman to become a sailor.

我從小就住在離水很近的地方，水一直伴隨著我的人生。很

人人都能接觸到的項目嗎?

如果非要說的 話，應 該 是 航 行 的 機 會（ 特 別是在龍骨船 上航行）吧，但 坦 白說 這 也 不 是 特別 大 的 一 項 挑 戰，就 像 我 剛 才 所 說， 我的航 海 旅 程 才 開 始，機 會 源 源 不 絕。 我 個 人 認 為， 對 一 名女 性 來 說，成 為 一 名 水手是沒有(或 者不應該有)任 何挑戰的。

In fact, HHYC and Sailability HK are doing a marvellous job in making sailing available to everybody regardless of age, gender or ability. I really admire their passion and dedication. To push it further forward, I would probably take advantage of virtual infrastructures as information spreaders and social connectivity activators. Reaching local communities would also be an important step. If I have to think about more opportunities, supervised sailing or cruising with bigger boats could be an extra, especially during weekends or weekdays evenings. Speaking for my ‘category’, as a young professional, I am currently lucky as I can manage my time most of the time, but it would be a lot easier for many professionals to have more sailing opportunities besides or completely outside working hours. Hebe is already doing a fantastic job (among others) with Friday night J80 racing practice and the Dinghy Adults Sailing Club; what a terrific way to spend a Friday night or an entire Saturday out on the water!

事實上，白沙灣遊艇會和航能香港 這方面做得很好。我真的很佩服 他們的熱情和奉獻的精神。為了推 動這一方面的發展，我可能會利用 網絡傳播信息，連接社會。接觸當 地社區也將是一個重要的一環。如 果我有更多的機會，在週末或工作 日的晚上，在資深水手的陪同下航 行，或在更大的船巡航。說到我的 所屬組別，作為一個年輕的專業人 士，目前我還是比較幸運的，因為 我的時間比較彈性，但對於許多專 業人士來說，除了工作之外，要是 有更多的航海機會就更好了。白沙 灣遊艇會每週五晚上的J80航行練 習和成人小艇會，是多麼好的週末 活動，遊艇會在這一方面已經做得 很不錯了！

Thank you Hebe for your support and dedication; the sailing world now has a new real lover! 感謝白沙灣遊艇會的支持和奉獻，讓我深深愛上帆船運動。

INTERVIEW WITH BETTY HO

Interview with

Betty Ho

與 Betty Ho 的對談

When did you start sailing, and how did you come to know HHYC? 你從什麼時候開始航海的？你是幾時和如何 得悉白沙灣遊艇會？

I completed my HKSF Level 1 & 2 Sailing courses in November 2020.

I am 37 years young, and this was my first time being on any sort of sailboat, and now I love it! I heard about Hebe Haven through my research for sailing lessons. HHYC is very consistent with what it offers in its sailing courses—and indeed the whole sailing programme, plus the staff are very helpful. The whole registration process was simple and efficient, even though I am not a member of the Club, which was very welcoming and much appreciated.

我於2020年11月完成香 港自然科學基金一級 及 二 級帆 船 課 程。我 今 年 37歲，這 是 我 第一次 接 觸 帆 船，現 在 我已深 深 喜 歡 上了帆 船運 動！ 我是在搜尋航海訓練課 程的資料時聽說白沙灣 遊 艇會 的。遊 艇會 的訓 練課程和列出的大綱 一 致，員 工們 也 非 常 樂 於 助 人。雖 然 我 不是 遊 艇 會 的成 員，但 是 整 個 報 名過程簡單、效率高，讓 人感覺良好。

帆船運動最大的挑戰是什麼?

性別和能力，人人都能接觸到的項目嗎?

If the Government could support some programmes for children from low-income families, this would help promote such sports, generate greater interest and foster more talent to come up in water-based sports. You never know; maybe the next Lee Lai-Shan is out there, but, unfortunately, they just never got the chance to get involved in the sport. Also, I think more school talks and tours about sailing and other related activities could help as well.

如果政府能夠支持更多針對低 收入家庭兒童的項目，這將讓更 多人產生更大的興趣，並培養更 多的水上運動人才。也許下一個 李麗珊就在不久的將來，但不幸 的是，他們幾乎沒有機會參與這 項運動。此外，我認為舉辦更多 關於帆船和其他相關活動的學 校講座和參觀也會有幫助。 我不覺得亞洲人在體能方面有

I don't think Asian sailors are at any disadvantage at all in terms of physical strength, fitness endurance.

I think sailing is mainly about honing technique and skills; I don't even realise that it is physically demanding, because I have so much fun!

34

任 何劣勢，帆船主要是磨練技 術 和 技 能。我自己也沒有感受 到在 體 能 上有多大的挑 戰，我 最大的感受是帆船運動實在非 常有趣，希望更多人能參加！

I think the biggest challenge for females, especially Asian women, is the sun! It is, for many, our culture to dislike being in the sun since we were children. However, I overcome this with a heavy sunblock, and I literally wrap up my face. At first, I was embarrassed about it but then, thanks to COVID, wrapping up your face is not so weird anymore. In fact, I actually see men wrapping up their faces from the sun as well, so it's completely ok.

我認為對亞 洲女性 來 說，最 大 的 挑 戰 是 紫 外 線！對 許多人 來 說， 從孩提時代起，我們的 文化 就 是 不 喜 歡 曬 太 陽。我 會 塗 上 厚 厚 的 防曬霜，把臉包起 來， 盡 量 減少紫外 線的侵 入。一 開 始，我 覺得 很 尷 尬，但 後 來 因 為 疫 情，把 臉 遮 蓋 得 嚴 嚴 實 實也 不是 那 麼 奇 怪 了。其 實 不只 女 生，我 看 到 有 些 男 生也會 遮 臉，做 好 防 曬，所以不 是很大的問題。

In the last few weeks, Sailability has had an additional volunteer in Hong Kong from the UK, Jenny Tsang. Jenny, a British Born Chinese, has been helping out Sailability during COVID. Andrew Sheard, Club Member and Sailability Volunteer, spoke to Jenny to get her take on what brought her to Hong Kong and how she’s finding help out at Sailability.

Hi Jenny, you’re from the UK, so how come you’re in Hong Kong at the moment?

在過去的幾週里，航能香港又迎 來一位來自英國的義工Jenny， 她是在英國出生的，在疫情期間 一直在幫助帆船運動。遊艇會成 員兼航能香港義工的Andrew採 訪了Jenny，了解Jenny此行的目 標，以及她是如何找到航能香港 並作出支援的。

Are the conditions for sailing in Hong Kong and

Jenny你來自英國，為什麼會到香港來呢？

the UK very different? 對比香港，英國航行的自然條件如何？

I have family in Hong Kong, and as there are currently fewer restrictions here than in the UK, I have decided to stay a little longer— being able to go out, meet friends and enjoy yum cha with my family.

我在香港有家人，而且現在香 港的疫情管制比英國相對少， 所以我決定多待一段時間，這 樣多些機會出去走走，見見朋 友，和家人一齊飲茶。

Who do you sail with in the UK? 在英國的時候，你會和誰一起航海？

In Spring 2015, I started volunteering for Horizons Plymouth, a sailing charity. I already had plenty of experience working with children with special needs, but sailing was like learning a whole new language! Having worked with children throughout my life, I really enjoy being able to continue enhancing their lives through such a different activity. I have seen, on many occasions, how this activity can change a child’s personal growth and development for the better.

2015年春天，我開始為 Horizons Plymouth 帆船賽做義工。我在 幫助有特殊需要的小朋友方面 已經有不少經驗，但我對航海 一無所知，對我來說就像學習 一門新語言一樣！一直以來，我 非常享受和小朋友相處，看到他 們的生活是如何透過水上的活 動而改變，不僅僅是生活，對他 們的個人成長也有影響。

The most significant difference is the tides. In Plymouth, the tidal ranges are far greater—there can be up to 6m between high and low water, and the tides are also much stronger. Naturally, the weather conditions are also very different; Plymouth is often wet and very windy with much lower air and sea temperatures. We also have the added obstacles of Plymouth being a naval and commercial port. So, we have to keep watch for all the shipping traffic and keep the children and their dinghies out the way of the cross-channel ferries, commercial vessels, naval ships and nuclear submarines!

最明顯的區別是 潮 汐。在普利茅斯，潮 汐的範圍要大得多， 漲潮和低潮之間的 差異可達6米，而且 潮 汐 也 大 得 多。天 氣 條 件 也有 很 大 的 不 同，普 利 茅 斯 潮 濕、多風，空氣和海 洋 溫 度 低 得 多。同 時，普 利 茅 斯 是 一 個海軍和商業港口， 這 是 航 行 的 另一 重 障 礙，我 們 必 須 留 心海 面 上 的交 通 狀 況，讓 小 朋 友 們 和 他們 的小 艇 遠 離 渡 船、商船、海軍艦艇 和核潛艇。

What are your impressions of Sailability Hong Kong? 你對航能香港的印象如何？

It’s been wonderful being able to volunteer for Sailability Hong Kong. It’s an incredibly friendly and welcoming group where everyone pitches in and gets involved. The sailing is very different because of the boats used. Sailability uses a range of boats that are accessible for all, including the Hansa 303 and International 2.4mR. Whereas Horizons Plymouth uses Hawk 20s (2 adults + 6 children), a range of Laser dinghies (Pico, Vago, Bahia), and RS boats (Feva, Cat 16, Aero Foiling). The charity also has a Mitchell 31— Friendship of Plymouth—a purpose-built workboat specially fitted out to carry wheelchair users.

36

能成為航能香港的義工真是太棒了，這是一個非常友好和歡 迎的團體，每個人都參與其中。由於所用的船隻不同，航行方 式也有很大的不同。航能使用的船隻可供所有人使用，包括 Hansa 303和國際2.4mR號；Horizons Plymouth使用的是Hawk 20s(2名成人和6名小童)、一系列Laser划艇(Pico、Vago、Bahia) 和RS船(Feva、Cat 16、aerefiling)。該慈善機構還有一艘Mitchell 31——普利茅斯友誼號，這是一艘專門為運送輪椅使用者而 建造的工作船。

Sailability a two-way street 航能香港——與我相知相惜的歷程

by Captain Richard Blacklaws Master Mariner MNI

Volunteer Day 2018

I have been in love with the water since I was a small boy. When I was able to read, I read books about sea adventures. (Authors Douglas Reeman and Joseph Conrad were favourites). I was raised near the English Lake District, and when my parents bought a 27-foot boat (8.23m), even though neither could swim, a sailor was born.

我從小就喜歡水。從識字之後，我開始讀關於海上冒險的書。

There was no looking back; I went to sea aged 16 and travelled around the world on general cargo ships. This type of ship generally spent two weeks in port to discharge or load any cargo, unlike the modern ships, which barely touch the quayside before leaving for another voyage. The time in port allowed me to experience the delights of different cultures, the ones I had read about as a small boy. I had circumnavigated the world twice before I was 18 years old.

沒有任何遲疑，我16歲就已經第一次出海，乘坐普通貨船環

38

(作者Authors Douglas Reeman和Joseph Conrad是頗受歡迎 的作家)。我在湖區（是英國西北部坎布里亞郡的一片鄉村地 區，是一個度假勝地）附近長大，當時我的父母買了一條27英 尺(8.23米)長的船，他們倆都不會游泳，但卻培育了一個水手。

遊了世界。這種類型的船通常要在港口停留2週，不時要卸 貨、裝載貨物，不像現代船隻在離開碼頭之前幾乎不接觸碼 頭邊。在港口的這段時間讓我體驗了不同文化的樂趣，是那 些我小時候在書本裡接觸的文化。之後，我在18歲之前又經 歷了兩次環球航行。

I have steamed across the Indian Ocean, at night not a single cloud, just the sound of our engine and its vibration under our feet and the firmament of stars from horizon to horizon and bioluminescence glowing green in the sea which 'sizzled' as we moved through it. I have been surrounded by dolphins off the coast of West Africa. There are many highlights.

我曾遊歷印度洋，那裏的夜晚一片雲彩也沒有，天際繁星點點。

There have been storms too. Passing through the centre of a Hurricane in the Pacific Ocean in which we almost became overwhelmed was a memorable one, as were three or four other occasions where the wind maintained a speed in excess of 110 knots.

有些時候天氣不盡人意。有一次暴風雨夾帶颶風，導致我們和船

我只聽到引擎的聲音，感受到它在腳下的震動。當我們的船隻駛 過時，海面皆是綠色的粼波，那是不同浮游生物發出的冷光。我 還試過在西非海岸時，船隻被海豚團團包圍。這類的趣事數不勝 數。

隻幾乎被淹沒。還有幾次風速維持在110節以上，這些都是讓人難 忘的體驗。 當我來到香港的時候是退休、半退休的狀態，我的太太在這裡有

When I came to Hong Kong, it was for retirement or semi-retirement; my wife had a good job here and wanted me to stay at home, at least for a while.

What was I, a sailor, to do? All this glorious weather, these islands, all this water, I must find something to occupy me related to the water, the sea!

This is where the two-way street becomes apparent.

從那以後，我便開始和遊艇會開始了相互扶持的旅程。

I expected to give something back in honour of all those crew members who gave me their time to teach me, of which there were many. But what actually happened was I, once again, became the one receiving.

我當時希望自己能回饋那些曾經花時間教我航海的船員，但出乎

交談後，我被邀請到白沙灣遊艇會，為周六的常規帆船活動提供 協助。

So, I gave my advice, encouragement or was simply there to enable other people to enjoy the thing that I love. What surprised me was they gave back so much. The clients, sailors—or however you want to label our friends—gave friendship, fun, comradeship and laughter. I honestly did not expect that. I think the modern term is 'feedback'; well, at times, it was overwhelming.

情的人，或者單純分享我對帆船的這一份熱愛。讓我驚訝的是， 他們還是源源不絕地給予許多幫助，讓我受益良多！客戶也好， 水手也好，這些稱呼都掩蓋不了他們是朋友這一事實，為我的生 活增添了不少樂趣和笑聲，我是真的沒料到會有這麼多收穫。現 代人比較常用「回應」代替收穫一詞，我覺得描述得不夠準確。

SAILABILITY A TWO-WAY STREET

As I have said, I have met, talked to and worked with people from all over the world.

It is the same at Sailability the range of nationalities is almost beyond belief, a United Nations of people with one goal, to share our knowledge, enable people, and have fun. Maybe governments around the world should study Sailability to see how it is done.

正如我上面所説，我非常樂意和來自世界各地的人們見面、聊

We as a team are proud of our friends, the amount of effort they put in and what they achieve when given a little assistance and simply a chance.

生活是一條雙行道，

此感謝他們。

你定能獲益良多！

My favourite poem

BY JOHN MASEFIELD 1902 From Salt-Water Poems and Ballads

我最喜歡的詩歌

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by; And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

我必須再次出海，去那看孤獨的海和天

BY JOHN MASEFIELD 1902 選自《鹹水詩歌與民謠》

我只要一艘大船，還有一顆星星為大船導航 船、風兒、白帆與我前行 四處籠罩灰色的薄霧籠罩，黎明即將來臨 我必須再次出海，迎接奔騰的潮水的召喚 不可忽略、野性、清晰的呼喚 我只求有風的日子，白雲飛揚 飛舞的浪花、鼓脹的泡沫，還有海鷗的鳴叫

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the seagulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

40

我必須再次出海，過吉普賽人的流浪生活 與海鷗、鯨魚相會 冷風凜冽 我只想聽一個動人的故事 在一天漫長的航行後，靜謐入眠

Notes: "go down to the seas" was a poetic way of saying going sailing. "the lonely sea" was simply talking about open water rather than a specific sea. "trick" indicates a period of duty on a specific task such as handling the wheel or lookout. "go down to the seas"是對航行的一種富有詩意 的說法。"the lonely sea"是指開闊的水域，而不 是具體的海。"trick"是指某一特定任務上執行一 段時間的任務，例如操縱方向盤或四處觀望。

I have been sailing in Hebe for four years; I have learned many sailing skills during these four years. Thank you Alfred and Antonio, for coaching me. Also, thank you Rob and Hebe, for organising and making every single sailing event successful.

Without their support, it would have been impossible for me to get first in Hebe Open Regatta and South Side Regatta.

CCF Sailor of the Year 2020

I was so surprised to be nominated as the CCF Sailor of the year 2020!

First of all, I would like to thank CCF and HHYC for the support and guidance in all the training sessions and competitions over the years. I have been sailing for seven years, both as a crew member and an individual sailor—as I can sail in races all by myself now! Other than skills in sailing, encouragement given by my teammates is also an important motivator. They shared their experience and techniques with me so that I could make improvements in every dinghy race. Our Sunshine Crew team is just like a family supporting each other. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the Club was unable to hold as many practice sessions and competitions as usual. But despite this, I enjoyed and cherished each and every time I sailed on the sea.

Looking forward to sailing without a mask very soon too!

Hebe Dragons Most Improved Sailor 2020

At the age of 15, I started my sailing career with Sailability HK under the Scallywag Programme. After a year with the group, I was invited by the Hebe Dragon’s Head Coach, Alfred, to try out the Lasers and join the Fleet. It was an honour to join when I had so little experience at that time.

1 5 歲 時，我 透 過 Scallywag認識航能香 港，由此開始了自己的 航 海 生 涯。在 航 能 香 港呆了一年之後，我受 白沙灣 遊 艇會的龍隊 主教練Alfred邀請，嘗 試Lasers類別的船隻， 並其後加入主隊。在沒

There are a few individuals and a group I would like to say thanks to.

First is my Laser coach, Alfred. He has put a lot of effort to get me into this competitive class of sailing. And he is the one giving me the chance to enter the competitive sailing world.

Next up are Paul, another coach from Sailability HK, and Kay, Co-founder of Sailability HK, both of whom have helped kick-start my sailing career and supported me along the way.

Next is the Scallywag Foundation, which has sponsored me since the start of my career. Last, but not least, is my mother, June, who has always supported me to do anything—and stayed with me along the way.

我想感謝教練Alfred，

入是莫大的榮幸。 我從未幻想過自己能 被 授 予此 獎 項，我 是 主隊裡經 驗最淺的水 手，卻是水手中年齡最 大的。

Still, the team kept strong; and we met up together to do fitness training like cycling and jogging, also did some yacht sailing to keep the team together and keep up our level of sailing.

5 MINUTES WITH SAM LAU, MAINTENANCE, MANAGER

5 minutes

with Sam Lau

Maintenance, Manager

五分鐘 ... 和你談一談 You have been with the Club since 2004; what made you first want to work here? 您是2004年開始到遊艇會工作，到現在已經16年了，當初為什麼選擇白沙灣遊艇會呢？

Going back in time, I liked to study electronic engineering and loved assembling different components for radios and other electronics. Later in life, I started my first job in merchant seaman; I also tried a few new things, acquired a maritime licence, and seagoing for several years. Then I was posted to the Royal Navy base during colonial times and became involved in the operation of ships' electronic equipment. In retrospect, my career path seems to have had a lot to do with water, and I ended up working in the Club for more than 16 years.

自小就喜歡研究電子工程的東西， 組裝不同零件。18歲進入社會後， 除了從事和商船海員有關的工作， 又嘗試新事物，考獲航海牌照後出 海行船幾年；其後又到軍部（回歸 前的皇家海軍基地），參與操作船 艦電子設備的工作。回想起來，我 的職業道路彷彿和「水」有不解之 緣，之後我就到遊艇會工作，一待 就待了16年多。

What's your daily work routine?

能否分享一下日常的工作流程，例如平時每天的工作大概是什麼？

Our regular work includes water and electricity maintenance of the Club and the Restaurant; the repair of machinery and electrical equipment onboard club boats, as well as mooring facilities. We are pretty much continually welding, cutting, lifting, painting or installing something around the Club. We ensure new colleagues have already acquired these skills when they apply for a position at the Club. This means, with their related experience, they are already up to speed when they join and can help contribute their skills when we handle different challenging projects.

46

恆常的工作包括會所、餐廳的 水電維修；船上機器和電器的 維修和保養、還有碼頭設施， 每天要做大大小小的焊接、切 割、吊重、塗 漆和安裝部件等 工作。一般同事在入職已具備 以上的基本技能和知識，之後 便能和團隊靈活合作，遇到不 同項目的時候每個人都能發揮 所長、分享個人見解。

During the past 16 years, what have been your fondest memories? 在這16年的工作經驗當中，有沒有一些難忘的回憶能分享一下呢？

During peak racing season, the Club organises various races and events such as the 24 Hour Charity Dinghy Race, and our department will conduct a complete inspection of all equipment and facilities one month before each event to ensure that all equipment is in place and is in good working order two weeks before the big day.

In the summertime, the Club's schedule is packed with all kinds of water activities and races; you can imagine this is both mentally and physically challenging as we work under the blazing sun.

逢遊艇會的賽季、活動盛 事，例如24小時慈善小艇 賽，我們的部門須在活動 舉 辦 一 個月前完成 所有 設備、設 施的檢查，活動 前兩個星期就要確保所 有設備到位、可用。遊 艇 會不少重大活動集中在夏 季，在烈日當空下工作又 是另一重考驗，對體能、 耐性的考驗可想而知。

If a young talent would like to become an apprentice shipwright, what advice would you give?

What kind of person is suitable for this job? 如果您身邊有一個年輕人想做遊艇維修學徒，您會給什麼建議呢？什麼樣的人會比較適合進這一個行業？

Young people who want to enter the industry need firstly to acquire fundamental knowledge of mechanical engineering and electromechanical technology. After they take up the job, this will be supplemented with internal training, and they can partner with senior technicians to carry out their first projects.

Generally speaking, the focus will be on the technical side in the first few years of the job. After the apprentice becomes more familiar with different aspects of the job, they can gradually transition into project management—an essential role in planning, monitoring, and controlling entire projects.

想入行的年輕人需要具備基本的機械工

Also, since the indoor workspace is relatively small, most maintenance projects are carried out outdoors, and we spend a lot of time under the elements. So that is another thing that young people should take into consideration, apart from the working environment, they should also ensure that they are physically fit. We know it is boiling almost every day during summer here, and the repairmen need to go out there and provide support for multiple events and races— none of which is easy work. It often takes you a day or two to complete a single maintenance task.

另外，因為遊艇維修常常在戶外進行，

程、機電科技的知識和技術；入職後，輔 以內部的專業培訓，和資深技術人員一 起共事，這樣在工作的時候也能同時學 習，改善自己的不足。一般來說，剛入行 的人頭幾年專注在技術範疇，熟悉工作 後便能慢慢往項目管理的方向發展，掌 握船舶維修、保養工程的項目管理的知 識和技巧後，通過計劃、監察及控制，提 高修船及改裝工程能夠效率和效能。

室內的工作空間比較小，我們得長時間 待 在 室外工作。年 輕 人若是喜 歡 戶外 的工作環境，又有一定的體能基礎，就 比 較 適 合 這份工作。尤 其 是 夏季 的酷 熱 天 氣 下，在 室 外埋首 工作 不是 一 件 容易的事，少一點耐性也不行。因為維 護、保 養 的工作 不是 一 時半會就 能 結 束，有時候一出去就一整天在機器、部 件裡埋頭苦幹。

What are your plans after retirement? 在退休後，有什麼計劃呢？

I think I will take some well-earned time off; it has been a wonderful journey for me here. I want to thank all the colleagues and friends for their support and help over the years. In my leisure time, I might go hiking with friends and family on weekends and participate in volunteer activities too!

應 該會休 息一 段日 子，這 1 6 年 來 感 謝 遊艇會的所有同 事、朋 友 的 支 持 和 幫 助，祝 願 日 後 各 位 同 事 工作 順 利， 生 活 愉 快！我 應 該 還會參 與一 些 義工 活 動。或 者 週 末 的 時 候 找 朋 友、家 人 行 山 鍛 鍊，有 益 身 心健康。

BROKEN BACK BOB AND THE PINK PIRATES

Broken Back Bob and the

Pink Pirates 斷背 Bob 和粉红海盗

by Stu Pryke

It was the second race of the HHYC monsoon series, and the wind was blowing good enough to even clear the stains off Outrageous, the notorious boat with the hull cleaner than its topsides! The Committee boat was standing fast on its anchors as the marks were laid out for the first race, and Captain Rob brought his crew to orders.

這 是 季 候 風 系 列 的 第 二 場 比 賽，風 刮 得 很 好，甚 至 把

"First things first, you lot," said Captain Rob, with his orders book slung like a cutlass around his neck. "Don't miss a trick with these pesky race boats; they never start a clean race, just like those young pirates on the Optimist fleet… cheats the lot of them."

「先說一些要緊的事，各位，」船長Rob停頓，他的命令簿像一

"Keep your eyes on Scratch my Bum and especially Nits n Pizzas, both scandalous boats that will even steal your Grannie's undies if it meant for a bigger sail."

「特別當心Scratch my Bum還有Nits n Pizzas這兩艘臭名

"Don't you mean Ichiban?" said Tia, who was Assistant Race Officer for the Day, “and Bits n Pieces?”

「你說的是Ichiban嗎？」當日的助理賽委會主任Tia問道，「還

"Yes ... Ummm ", said Rob, "Itchybum indeed"… "Now all to stations and keep your ears skinned," said the Captain.

「是的…嗯，」Rob承認，「的確是Itchy，令人撓頭煩惱。現在

" Its eyes peeled", said Tia with a chuckle as Andy, the backwards countdown Official, continued to practice his backward counting, "Nine, eight, seven … uuuuh ... seven …five…three … two ... go!"

「應該是keep your eyes peeled，眼睛睜大留意任何動靜吧！

Captain Rob put his head in his hands and wondered why he bothered, leaving a smudge of black ink from the board rubber on his forehead. Andy bit his top lip as Tia gave him a proper countdown list … with all the numbers written in pastel colours. "Ahhh, that's better; counting in colours is even better."

船長Rob用手摀著頭，不知道自己為什麼這麼在乎Andy倒數

"Now … it's all hands on deck and watch out, since I have just been told by Manky Moiles on the radio that we have an unscrupulous challenger joining the race, and I know he is full of dastardly tricks," said Captain Rob, wondering why he was dripping black sweat, "And not only that, he flies a Jolly Roger from his mast top at every start of every race."

「 現 在 甲 板 上 所 有人都 要 留心，我 剛 剛 透 過 無 線 電 通 知

Phil, Dave and Max, the ship's appointed scribes, raised their arms, nearly knocking Captain Rob off his bare feet with a the stench of a mix of ship's bilge armpit and Hebe Singapore noodles…

Phil， Dave和Max，船上指定的抄寫員，舉起了他們的手臂，腋

Outrageous船身上的污跡都吹掉了。當第一場比賽的範圍被 標記出來的時候，委員會的船已經牢牢地停泊在錨上。參賽隊 伍之一的船長Rob讓他的船員們遵從指示。

把彎刀掛在脖子上。「對於那些討厭的船伍，千萬不要錯過任 何竅門，他們從來沒有公正地競賽過，就像樂天級帆船主隊的 那些年輕海盜一樣，你們不要被他們欺騙。」

昭著的船，如果 他們想要 航行加速，可能連你嬤 嬤底衫 褲 也拿走。」

有Bits n Pieces？」

大家各就各位，豎起耳朵放精神點」船長說。

」Tia笑著說。負責倒數的安迪Andy繼續練習倒數，「九、八、 七…呃…七…五…三…二…去吧！」

這件事，無意間在他的額頭上留下了墨跡。Andy苦惱地咬著 上唇，Tia給了他一張倒計時單，上面的數字都用柔和的顏色寫 著。Andy感嘆： 「啊！這樣更好，數顏色好多了。」

Manky Moiles，我們即將有一個肆無忌憚的挑戰者加入比賽。 我知道他玩的都是卑鄙的把戲。」船長Rob一邊說，一邊疑惑 自己為什麼大汗淋漓，「不僅如此，他在每場比賽開始前，還 會在桅杆上綁上海盜旗。」

窩散發出一股混合的新加坡麵和船艙的氣味，一不小心會就 熏死船長Rob。

"Do you mean Bob's lot, Sir?" they said in smelly unison …"The ones who always wear pink shirts when they're racing to hide the stains of their favourite drink … Campari?"

「你指的是Bob嗎？」他們齊聲（難聞的口氣）問道，「就是那

"That's him … and the boat is called Ex Cream … it's so fast; I think Bob has a secret motor called a velocitizer under the keel. The acceleration is so fast he has to wear a black corset," said Rob.

「就是他。他那艘船叫Ex Cream，非常快；我想Bob在他的龍

Tia corrected him again, shaking her head, "That's Broken Back Bob and The Pink Pirates," she said, "And they don't have a secret engine, since that would have been discovered by ‘countdown Andy’ … and that would mean cheating in the Xtreme, which is exactly what the boat is called, not Ex Cream." Andy nodded, his hat slipping off his very shiny head revealing the numbers, three, two, one, just in case he needed reminding…

Tia再次糾正他，搖著頭，「那個是斷背Bob和粉紅海盜」她說，

些總是穿著粉紅色襯衫，爭先掩蓋飲料的污漬的人？好像他們 特別喜歡金巴利酒？」

骨船下安裝了一個秘密發動機，叫做velocitizen。速度太快了， 他不得不穿上黑色緊身衣航行。」

「他們沒有秘密引擎，因為負責倒計時的Andy會發現。安裝秘 密引擎是作弊的行為，是非常極端、不值得鼓勵的，,恰巧這艘 船的名字正是Xtreme，非Ex Cream。」Andy點了點頭，帽子從 他腦袋上滑落，跌出了數字卡，以防他倒數的時候忘記順序... 「管他呢，」船長說，「跟那群人在一起，一定會出現很多問

"Whatever," said Rob, "Xtreme problem either way with that lot … and as for his Jolly Roger. I have a surprise for him and his flag." Rob chuckled and changed his radio channel to 77 to speak with Manky over something the rest of the fleet couldn't hear.

Something was up, and Tia wondered what it might be?

題。我倒是向為他的骷髏旗準備一個驚喜。

The horns went … 15 minutes to go … then five … then three, two … uuuhh ... come on Andy, who then dropped his uncapped head so Tia could mime ...

"ONE". The final horn blew like a muffled fart since the gas bottle was almost empty and the race was on. But … where was Ex Cream … sorry, Xtreme (you've got me going now)?

汽笛聲長嚎。還有15分鐘…5分鐘…然後是3分鐘、2分鐘…「算

」船長咯咯地笑

了笑，把他的無線電頻道調到77，用其他成員聽不到的聲音和 Manky說話。看來有人在醞釀一些不可告示的計劃，Tia想知道 他葫蘆裡賣的到底是什麼藥。

了吧，Andy」，Andy低下頭，只留下Tia一個人自言自語…「一 分鐘」。最後一聲汽笛像是被悶住的屁一樣響了起來，就好像 汽油瓶幾乎空了，而比賽還在繼續。Ex Cream在哪呢？抱歉， 應該是Xtreme(你讓我越說越激動了)？

BROKEN BACK BOB AND THE PINK PIRATES

JeDai turned through the race line start, nearly hitting Pepper and Salt, who almost knocked the salt bowl off the dinner table of Hebe One, as her wake struck the bow of the big catamaran. The big boats steamed through with their professional crews all tight-lipped and dressed like Hollywood mannequins, even the New Zealand crews! Ricochet, with an all-girl crew, wafted Channel Number 5 downwind to Intrigue, who promptly did a big circle and had to restart, holding their noses and pointing in the direction of the last boat, approaching the start line. Captain Rob and the scribes, oh and Tia, all looked aft. With full sail flying, spinnaker already on the deck … crews all symmetrical on the weather rail and bare toes getting cleaned by sea spray, it was Extreme … or to be precise … Xtreme. And on the helm, resplendent in his black corset belt and pink shirt, was Broken Back Bob and yes, together with all his Pink Pirates. Captain Rob shook his head and yelled, "Clean Startttttttt!"

Max, Phil and Dave started scribing and doing some pretty interesting science stuff with the race mathematician, Lanky Leon (otherwise known as Algi since he could only speak in algorithms). "Mikey," Rob said to the Coxswain, whose real name was My Kee, on account of having the ONLY key to start Hebe One and open the cold drinks locker, "Mikey, drop the flags..."

Just then, Tia looked again at Xtreme as she caught up with Outrageous and shouted at Captain Rob, "Look, look, that's no Jolly Roger on Broken Bob's boat."

All the crew of Hebe One and Intrigue's crew, still holding their noses, looked aghast at Xtreme. Flying off the top of the mast was certainly a flag of sorts but definitely not the Jolly Roger. "I told you there might be a surprise in store for that sneaky crew,' said Rob, for fluttering from the masthead was a pair of Bob's giant unwashed underpants. No wonder, Intrigue held their noses, thought Tia. Andy blushed; he thought they might have been his. The scribes all marked for the record, "Clean pants required next race for Xtreme," and Rob cracked a very satisfying cold beer. Revenge, he thought, is all in the surprise.

JeDai在賽道起跑線上轉彎，差點撞上Pepper和Salt，後者 的尾巴撞擊中了一艘大型雙體船的船頭，差點撞飛Hebe One的餐桌上的鹽碗。大船上的專業船員都是一聲不吭， 穿 得 像 好萊 塢的模 特 一樣，甚至 還有來自新西 蘭的船 員！Ricochet和全體女船員向順風方向駛向5號航道，然後 迅速進行了一個大轉圈，重新起航，昂首挺胸指向最後一 艘船的方向，逼近起跑線。船長和抄寫員，還有Tia，都朝 船尾望去。風帆飄飄，三角帆已經在甲板上了，船員們都是 對稱地站在氣象欄杆上，裸露的腳趾頭被海浪沖刷得乾乾 淨淨，這是真的是太棒了，或者確切地說太Xtreme了，非常 厲害。掌舵的是一名身著黑色緊身胸衣，還有一個身著粉 紅色的襯衫的人，那是斷背Bob和他的粉紅海盜。船長搖 了搖頭，大喊：「乾淨的開始！」 Max、Phil和Dave開始紀錄賽況，同時和Lanky

Leon(又名

Algi，他只能用算法說話)做一些非常有趣的科學研究。 「Mikey這個名字」Rob對Coxswain說，他的真名是My Kee（my key的諧音） ，因為他只有一把鑰匙可以打開冷飲 櫃，「Mikey，放下風帆。」 就在這時，Tia看了看身旁的Xtreme，自己的船隻趕上了 Outrageous，對Rob喊道：「看，Bob的船上沒有骷髏旗。」 所有Hebe One和Intrigue的船員，捏著鼻子，對Xtreme目瞪 口呆。從桅杆頂上飄下來的肯定是一面旗幟，但肯定不是 骷髏旗。 「我不是跟你說過，我為那些鬼鬼祟祟的傢伙準 備了有一個驚喜嘛？」Rob說道。從桅頂上飄來的是Bob一 條的未洗的內褲，Tia想這也難怪這些人捏著鼻子。 Andy臉紅了，他以為那條內褲是他的。所有的抄寫員不約 而同地記下：「下一次有Xtreme的比賽得準備一條乾淨的 內褲。」Rob開了一罐冰爽的啤酒，心想這個驚喜總算是成 功的復仇了。

MY5 CATAMARANS NOW IN HONG KONG

MY 5 catamarans now in Hong Kong

We'll soon be seeing some new motor yachts on the horizon, as the MY5 cat is introduced in Hong Kong. The recent appointment of Asia Yachting as the exclusive dealer for Fountaine Pajot Motor Yachts builds on their existing Philippines dealership, as they now explore the seas around the SAR.

Bright, breezy expansive cabin areas

The move sees the launch of the first-ever MY5 fleet in Hong Kong.

Already acclaimed as the Best Multihull Motor Yacht (up to 50 ft) at the Asia Boating Awards, the MY5 has outstanding performance for exploring Hong Kong's waters with power, sophistication and bags of space.

Shedloads of space One of the key differentiators for the MY5 is it features shedloads of space onboard, with an expansive, well-lit, comfortable interior— she is incredibly spacious for her length. All the onboard spaces are, as you might expect, pretty luxurious, featuring a lounge saloon, a comprehensive galley and driving station, as well as spacious cabins and a generous owner's suite. Kevin CORFA, Head of Fountaine Pajot Asia, noted, "Our yachts are well known to be superior in terms of space and functionality, bringing the pleasure of living on board to owners seeking to explore new territories and new horizons."

Bold, modern design With her energetic lines, contemporary design and distinctive bows, the MY5 makes a sleek impression on the water. Her Volvo IPS propulsion systems, enabling a much quieter, more comfortable journey—so you can easily hear them calling for more cocktails— and brings better handling and impressive performance at cruising speed. The IPS is available at both control stations: in the saloon and on the flybridge, makes docking on the pontoon a cinch. The system can even hold the vessel entirely still if required; great if you're waiting for a spot when it's a bit blowy.

52

Massive owners' suite—unprecedented in size for a boat in this class.

The MY5 features equally spacious exterior spaces for relaxing, like its almost 200 ft² flybridge and fore cockpit with sundecks.

HERCULES, HAINAN CHICKEN AND HALLUCINATIONS AT HHYC

Hercules, Hainan chicken and hallucinations at HHYC 大力神、海南雞還有在遊艇會用餐的奇遇 The further ramblings of David Lam

David Lam 漫談的另一序章

In the year 1177 BC, Hercules, the hero of the strong and the brave, stood atop Mount Taygetus in Greece overlooking the magnificent Aegean Sea. There appeared the beautiful goddess of the sea, Salacia, smiling and basking in the warmth of her marriage to Neptune. Against the backdrop of the battle-weary soldiers on chariots from the Trojan War, Hercules confided to Salacia that one day the recipe of Ambrosia—a food of the gods which, according to Greek mythology, would bring immortality—must be retrieved from a place somewhere in the Far East known as Hebe Haven. If not, there would be an avalanche of unmeasurable proportions.

The food at HHYC continues to hit new heights, and this issue I’m sharing my thoughts on Chef Eric’s Hainan Chicken. 公元前1177年，大力神赫拉克勒斯站在希臘 的泰 吉 圖 斯山頂俯 瞰 雄 偉 的愛 琴 海。那 裏 也是 海神涅普頓與他的妻子 — — 美麗的薩 拉 喀 亞佇 立 的 地方。可以 想像 薩 拉 喀 亞 此 時 正 新 婚 燕 爾，嫣 然 一 笑。對 照 另一 個 場 景，特洛伊戰爭下厭戰的士兵，臉無生色。 大力神告訴薩拉喀亞關於一種仙饈的食 譜，根 據 希 臘 神 話 記 載，這 是 能 讓 人長 生 不 老 的美 味 佳 餚，只 能在 遠 東 地區 的白沙 灣 遊 艇會 獲 取，否則 將會發 生不 可 預 料 的 雪崩。遊 艇會 的 食 物質素 不 斷 達 到新 的高 度，關於這一點，我想分享一些對主廚Eric 烹製的海南雞的想法。

Soy, garlic or chili sauce…the choice is yours 醬油、蒜蓉或辣椒醬，任君選擇

Hainan Chicken Rice

海南雞飯

The carefully chopped chicken pieces were placed back almost to their original avian owner’s positions on a clean, white, square plate engraved with tropical leaves. With a shiny and custardcoloured skin, the chicken embraced by green vegetables seemed there to be admired rather than eaten. Next to this display of artwork, was a rectangular sauce dish with three compartments for three different kinds of delicious sauces. “This is going to be my day,” I said to myself.

I recall the farm on which I had stayed where I found free-range chickens taking their stroll between two rows of trees. From sunrise ‘til night, the change of temperature and natural lighting are governed by the superpowers, but it is your own choice as to how to tingle your tastebuds as you decide which of the three condiments you’d like to dip your Hainan chicken into.

小心切好的雞塊被放在一個乾淨的、刻 著樹葉紋路的的白色碟子上，到了食客 的桌前。雞肉披著鮮亮的奶黃色外皮， 被綠色的蔬菜包裹著，似乎是受人愛慕 而非供人食用。在這個「藝術品」的旁 邊，是一個長方形的醬碟，有三個隔 間，裡面放著三種不同的美味醬汁。「 這一天將因此而美好。」我對自己說。

我想起了我曾經住過的一個農場，在那 裡放養的雞會沿著兩邊樹木散步。從日 出到夜晚，溫度和自然光線都由大自然 控制，但如何刺激你的味蕾是你自己的 選擇，你可以選擇其中一種醬汁來蘸海 南雞。

After the first bite of the most tender piece of chicken I’d ever had, my tongue was unwilling to let go the jade-like chicken skin, I wanted time to be frozen. It was at that moment that my heart was smiling and my mouth already salivating for the next bite.

Salacia would have sent a message to Hercules that he should skip Kolokithokeftedes (Greek zucchini fritters) for a day and come to HHYC for lunch instead.

While my hunger quickly whisked away some of the chicken pieces, this revealed carrots, cucumber and turnip nestling under the chicken, a vegetable melody that minded me of a musical keyboard.

Beethoven came and played Symphony No. 9 so there was music at the beach, where any proud sailor would be tempted to show off his or her trimmed body. Meanwhile, in my mind, the dipping of the chicken into the different sauces became synchronised with this orchestrated symphony.

第一口咬下最嫩的雞肉後，我不願意捨 棄像翡翠一樣晶瑩的雞皮，我希望時間 就此停止。在那一刻，我的心在微笑， 已經準備吃下一塊。薩拉喀亞應該會給 大力神捎個信，讓他一整天都不吃希臘 的櫛瓜煎餅，而是來遊艇會吃午飯。 當我饑腸轆轆，暴風速度般消滅了不少 雞肉時，卻發現胡蘿蔔、青瓜和白蘿蔔 還蜷縮在雞塊下面，像琴鍵整齊排列， 這是一段蔬菜的「旋律」，讓我想起了 樂器的鍵盤。假若貝多芬演奏第九交響 曲的旋律在海灘上響起，任何驕傲的水 手都會被誘惑，展現美好身姿。與此同 時，在我的腦海裡，眼前的醬汁已與這 首交響樂曲融為一體。

The pure white rice was scooped to a bowl where I sensed beautiful island girls having sprinkled coconut water thereon. The pork bone soup containing snow fungus must have been the workmanship of a retired skipper because there were two colourful melons like Hawaiian molten lava floating on the surface, and a sponge like piece of snow fungus akin to a jellyfish hidden near the seabed. The more I indulged in my Hainan Chicken Rice combo, the more I began to hallucinate: a catamaran became the chicken, the sand on the beach became the rice, and Hebe Haven became the soup.

白米飯被舀到碗裡，鮮甜的滋味讓人感覺 彷彿是美麗的女孩在碗裡灑了椰子水。豬 骨湯有黑木耳，這一定是一位退休船長的 手藝，因為有兩個五顏六色的蜜瓜漂浮在 水面上，就像夏威夷熔岩，還有一塊海綿 狀的雪菌，類似水母，隱藏在海床附近。 我沉溺於海南雞飯之中，開始產生幻覺： 雙體船變成了雞，沙灘上的沙子變成了米 飯，遊艇會變成了湯。

Moh Lee Twee, who operated a restaurant by the name of Swee Kee, would have been proud that, after he popularised Hainan Chicken Rice in Singapore, the magical dish had become a national dish of Singapore. In Hong Kong, it is our Chef de Cuisine, Eric, who has perfected the Hainan Chicken Rice to the level where it would delight even Hercules and Salacia.

令海南雞飯變成新加坡的國菜之一的Moh Lee Twee，他感到非常自豪，是一家名為 Swee

Kee的餐廳的老闆。在香港，遊艇

會餐廳的主廚Eric把海南雞飯做得非常完 美，甚至能讓大力神和薩拉喀亞都高興。

HERCULES, HAINAN CHICKEN AND HALLUCINATIONS AT HHYC

Pie in the sky stories

天下掉餡餅的故事

Freud also came to HHYC that afternoon, to help heal my hallucinations. He placed me in a hypnotic state and psychoanalysed me. I revealed to him what had happened one day when my professor came into our Psychology 101 class. The professor said he was going to put us under hypnosis. He mumbled something, I took to be a prayer of some sort, and asked us if were feeling anything. It was a big class with about 200 of us sat in the lecture theatre. All of us kept quiet and closed our eyes, pretending that the Professor had done his magic, and we all ended up getting good grades at the end of the term.

那天下午，弗洛 伊 德也 來了遊 艇會，為了幫助治療 我

The truth is that in the 1600s, King Charles I loved eating pies. One day, Queen Henrietta Maria introduced the King to a court dwarf. As the King was a fanatic of pies, the royal kitchen created a humongous pie and let the court dwarf walk out of it, in the presence of his Majesty. The dwarf was later knighted and became Sir Jeffrey Watson.

17世 紀 的 查 理 一 世 國王 是 批（餡餅）的 狂 熱 粉絲，有

的幻覺，他把我置 於催眠 狀態，然後 對我 進行心理分 析。有一天，我的教 授 來 到我們的心理學101課 上，我 向 他 透 露了發 生 的 事 情。教 授 說 他 要 讓 我 們 進 入催 眠 狀 態。他 咕 噥 著 什麼，我以為是在祈禱，他問我們 是 否 有什麼 感 覺。那是 一 個大 班，大約 有20 0人 坐在 教 室 裡。我們 都保 持安 靜，閉上 眼睛，彷彿像 是教 授 施了魔法 一樣，最後我們都在期末 取得了好成 績。

一天，王后向國王介紹了一個宮廷侏儒名為

與國王時從批中走出來。這個侏儒後來被封為爵士。 場景移到另一個時空。很久以後，當Charles

On another day, much later, when a Professor Charles Watson Townsend ordered his favourite apple pie together with ice cream from the Cambridge Hotel in Cambridge, in the state of New York, another diner Mrs Berry Hall, sitting next to Townsend, suggested the dessert should be called “pie à la mode”. It was claimed that the Professor liked the name so much, he asked for the dessert each day during his stay at the hotel by that name.

Townsend 教授在紐約的劍橋酒店點了他最喜歡的蘋果批 和冰淇淋。同行的 Berry Hall坐在教授的旁邊，建議甜點 應該被稱為「時髦的批」（ à la mode原意指流行、時髦 的；後世意思演繹為附加雪糕的甜點）。據說教授非常 喜歡這個名字，他每天都要用這個稱呼點這個甜品。

Apple pie à la mode

雪糕蘋果批

It is the fusion of the crumbling pie crust, the gently stewed apple, and the melting alpine ice cream which created the avalanche at HHYC that Hercules had rightly predicted. Tiny blueberries revealed deep within the layers of fruity apple were engulfed by the thunderous rolling ice cream in the jaw of avalanche. In the midst of another hypnotic state of mind, and whilst Salacia, the Goddess of the Sea, was still looking for a space at our beloved yacht club to moor her sea chariot, I found sun-soaked blueberries rolling out from the avalanche onto a Mars-like plateau scattered with strawberry rocks and tiny chocolate ponds. No one came walking out from my pie; so King Charles might have been disappointed, but this is the year 2021 and I certainly was not.

Coffee

鬆脆 的餅皮、軟 腍 的蘋 果和 融化的阿 爾 卑 斯 冰 淇 淋 的 融 合，一 口 咬 下去，如 同 當時大力神正確 預 測 的雪崩。在 蘋 果 果 層深處 露出的小藍莓被崩塌的雪糕吞沒 了。另一邊，海洋女神薩拉喀亞仍在我們 的遊 艇會 裡尋 找停泊 的區域，好 讓 她 的 戰 車歇 息。我 發 現了曬 過 陽 光的小藍 莓 從雪崩中滑落到散佈 著士多啤梨岩石和 細小的 朱 古力池 塘 的高 原 上，就像在 火 星一般。沒有人從我的批中走出來，所以 換了是查 理一 世國王的話他可能會很 失 望。但現在是2021年，而我當然不會因為 這樣的事不高興。

咖啡

After Salacia had gone into our kitchen and snatched the Ambrosia recipe from our Chef Eric, the sweating dolphins and seahorses which drew the sea goddess in the chariot were still munching our Impossible Burger on Hebe One.

薩拉喀亞走進我們的廚房，從我們的廚師

Lunch wouldn`t have been complete without a good shot of great Italian Espresso. Thanks so much to Luigi Bezzera from Milan who created the spirit-lifting Espresso in 1901. With the words, “Bene, bene” in my ear, I finally came round from my hypnosis and headed home with a little sense of guilt. Please don`t tell my other half what I had, because she is going to tell my cardiologist, and my cardiologist is going to tell my mum. Forget about the cholesterol and the triglycerides or whatever, try intermittent fasting afterwards if you have to, it`s worth it. Don’t let me see you pushing aside the chicken skin, and don’t let me see you skipping the vanilla ice cream, life wouldn’t be that fun without them.

If you want to try what I had, no worries, the original recipe is still here, Chef Eric secretly hid it behind our bar, but, beware of the avalanche!

如果沒有一杯美味的意大利濃縮咖啡，午

I can't guarantee you will find it on our yacht club`s menu, but if you want to order what Hercules had for lunch, you should at least pronounce it right, skipper, here it is again, Kolokithokeftedes, Mrs Berry Hall might just be listening nearby.

我不能保證你能在遊艇會餐廳的菜單上找

Eric那裡搶走了美味佳餚的食譜，她的坐騎 海豚和海馬還在我們的會船上津津有味地 吃著遊艇會的植物肉漢堡。

餐就算不上完整。非常感謝義大利米蘭的 Luigi Bezzera，他在1901年發明了提神的意 式濃縮咖啡。耳邊迴響著“Bene Bene”，我 終於從催眠狀態中清醒過來，帶著一點內 疚感回家了。請不要告訴我的另一半我吃 了什麼，因為她會告訴我的心臟病醫生， 然後醫生會告訴我媽媽。忘掉膽固醇和甘 油三酯之類的東西吧，如果有必要，嘗試 間歇性禁食，值得一試的。別讓我看到你 把雞皮丟在一邊，也別讓我看到你跳過香 草雪糕不吃，沒有它們生活就少了樂趣。 如果你想嚐嚐我吃過的食物，不用擔心， 原汁原味的食譜還在這裡，主廚偷偷把它 藏在我們的吧台後面，但是，要小心吃到 一半發生「雪崩」喔！

到我吃過的東西，但如果你想點大力神的 午餐，你至少應該發對Hercules的音。得留 意希臘的櫛瓜煎餅還有Berry Hall可能就在 附近聽著呢。

CLUB HISTORY

Club History 遊艇會歷史足跡

by Mark Ashton, Club Historian (2021– ) The idea of a Club Historian was brought to my attention during an online search for descriptions of the roles and duties of club officers and committee members.

That piece of research was rewarding because many other yacht clubs had given thought to what they expected from their committee members and had posted these descriptions online for the benefit of other clubs.

當 我 在 網 上 搜 索 關 於 遊 艇會 幹 事 和 委 員會成 員 的 角色、

This particular role, Club Historian, had traditionally been placed with the Honorary General Secretary (HGS) in a manner such that it was for each elected HGS to ensure that a person was appointed and tasked to ensure that the significant milestones in the operation of the Club were archived appropriately. The value of doing this was brought home to me during a recent Zoom meeting of my UK Yacht Club (Redclyffe Yacht Club), where one of our members gave a talk about Redclyffe YC history going back to the founder member, Percy Westerman’s first visit in 1908!

這 個 特 殊 的 角色 — 遊 艇會 歷 史 記 事 者，傳 統 上 是 由 名 譽

While a little more recent, our own history is no less interesting as anyone who has read our fantastic 50th Anniversary Book will know. In reading this book, the photograph showing the destruction of many of the Club’s archived records (seen below) was particularly poignant and a wake-up call to the need to organise safe storage of the important part of our records.

回 過 頭 來 看 現 在，白 沙 灣 遊 艇 會 的 舊 日 歷 史 遊 艇 會 5 0

58

職 責 時，我 腦 海 裡 浮 現了一 個 念 頭：遊 艇 會 裡 需 要 一 個 紀 錄 遊 艇 會 歷 史 的 人，因 為 許 多 其他 遊 艇 會 已 經 將 成 員 對 遊 艇會的展 望的文字，上載 至網 站，能 讓 其他的遊 艇會 作 為 參 考。

秘 書 長 擔 任，以確 保 遊 艇會 的 一 些 重 要 里 程 碑 能 妥 善 存 檔、留下記錄。在 英國遊 艇會Redclyffe最 近的 一次Zoom 會 議 上，我 得以了解 妥 善 存 檔 的 價值。根 據 記錄，白沙灣 遊 艇 會 發 表 關 於 R e d c l y f f e 遊 艇 會 的 歷 史 的 講 話，可 以 追 溯到創始人Percy Westerman 1908年的第一次訪港的 時 候!

週 年 的 紀 念 刊 物 相 比，一 樣 有 趣。在 閱 讀 這 本 刊 物 的 時 候，裡 邊 有 張 照 片顯 示了 許 多 遊 艇 會 的 存 檔 記 錄被 破 壞 （ 見 下 圖 ），這 令人 非 常 痛 心，日 後 我 們 得 妥 善 儲 存 重 要 的 記 錄。

Fortunately, at Hebe, we have the unique benefit of still being able to talk to members who were involved with the development of the Club through the ’70s to today, and many of our members keep copies of old Hebe Jebes or the minutes of subcommittee meetings, where the evolution of much of our club planning takes place. We are also fortunate in that the work led by Andy Miller to producing the 50th Anniversary Book has been safeguarded by Andy and is now being digitised.

What’s next?

幸運的是，在白沙灣我們仍能和目睹、參與遊艇會從70年代 到今日的發展的成員聯繫，許多成員保留了往日的遊艇會雜 誌和委員會會議記錄，而委員會就是成員們訂立遊艇會發展 方向的平台。我們非常開心由Andy Miller帶頭牽起的五十週 年紀念刊物的出版事項，現在正在進行數字化的流程。 下一步是什麼？ 就像遊艇會裡的許多「好建議」一樣，它們總是會回到最新

Like many ‘good suggestions’ at the Club, they have a habit of coming back to the originator, so I found myself tasked to get the ball rolling with this one. My thoughts on the priority to seek out and digitise records are set out below.

提出的那個人身上，所以我發現自己的任務就是啟動記錄遊

•

•

•

• •

Reach out to members to see how many issues of Hebe Jebes pre-2013 can be located and digitised.

Research the various phases of Club development through photographic and drawing records—it may surprise some members to know that we have three buried seawalls under our car park—capturing the historical footprint.

Research the development of the Club’s sailing programme from the first Port Shelter Regatta in 1966.

Interviews with our village neighbours to enrich the background to the Club story.

I hope to establish an online ‘deposit box’ to allow members to post relevant material. After collection and no doubt some curating, the aim is to create a history corner on our website. If anyone reading this has an interest or suggestion, please let me know, and the same goes for any collectors out there with backdated Hebe Jebes or subcommittee meeting minutes.

艇會歷史這個項目，我對蒐集和數字化檔案的優先次序的看 法如下： 聯繫會員，看看2013年以前有多少遊艇會雜誌可以被數 字化； •

搜集遊艇會發展的各個階段的資料，相片、畫作也是參 考資料之一；有些會員可能不知道，我們的停車場下面 有三座埋在地下的海堤，見證不少歷史；

•

搜集1966年首屆牛尾港帆船比賽的相關資料，研究帆船 項目的發展歷程；

•

採訪遊艇會的鄰里，以豐富遊艇會歷史的故事。

我希望建立一個網上「寄存箱」，讓會員可以張貼相關資料。 在收集相關資料後，希望在遊艇會的網站上創建一個歷史角 落。如果讀到這篇文章的人有興趣或建議，歡迎提出；若有 舊日的遊艇會雜誌和委員會會議記錄的收藏人士，也歡迎提 供資訊，為記錄遊艇會歷史出一分力！

CLUB UPDATE

To facilitate better management of the use of our pontoons and facilities, HHYC has recruited additional staff to help reduce the incidences of non-members accessing such facilities and affecting regular use by members. We are also helping ensure that all our members are using the pontoons safely and maintaining a clean and hygienic environment.

Recently, car parking labels have been issued to members for ease of identification of their vehicles. Members with vehicles registered at HHYC should apply for their car park label(s) from the Marine Office.

On 13 May, the Fire Services Department and Marine Police will be conducting a joint fire drill at the Club. The drill is a regular exercise to ensure the safe operation of all fire prevention facilities. We appreciate your patience and understanding with any inconvenience caused during this essential safety exercise.

Sitting down to write this article for the current issue of Hebe Jebes, we are seeing a slow change in the weather in Hong Kong, pivoting slowly toward summer conditions. The NE monsoon has stayed with us fairly consistently throughout the winter until late April, even as the temperatures have crept up, reminding us that summer is just around the corner.

The combination of warmer temperatures combined with a consistent fresh monsoon has resulted in some sublime sailing conditions.

Naturally, mother nature always has surprises instore, and we’ve had to postpone several of the Monsoon Spring Series races due to lack of wind which is frustrating for the crews, and race management team, but that is sailing for you.

There are a number of exciting racing events on the horizon at the club. The Monsoon Series will have wrapped up by the time you read this, but the Typhoon Series, and Summer Saturday Series are just around the corner, with both commencing in June. The Open Dinghy Regatta, one of the highlights of the year for the youth sailors takes place 22/23 May, and will once again be an extremely busy, and exciting weekend. Also taking place in May is the Women’s Sailing Festival taking place at the club from 21 – 30 May. There a number of on water, and on shore events taking place during the festival including the first Inter-club girls / women’s sailing championships. For full details on this exciting festival, visit the club website.

With the summer season fast approaching, Hong Kong is getting into the best cruising weather of the year. The past year we have all added a new phrase to our general vocabulary: “staycation”. Even being on the water regularly, it is easy to forget just how fortunate to live in a place that has such excellent cruising grounds so close at hand. The waters just to the north of Sai Kung, whether it be Long Harbor, Double Haven, or so many other hidden gems offer a fantastic opportunity to get away from it all, for a day, weekend, or a week.

The Sailing Office will soon be adding a cruising tab to the club website as a resource for member to access or add to. If you have a favorite cruising spot you want to share, we would love to hear from you. E-mail, your feedback to the sailing office, and if there is something you would like to see added to the website, input is always welcome.

With vaccinations for Covid-19 progressing, there is a glimmer of hope travel bubbles beginning to appear on the horizon. But in the meantime, let’s not forget what a wonderful playground we have right outside our doorstep. Stay safe, and see you out on the water.

坐下來為遊艇會雜誌寫這篇文章時，香港的天氣正在緩慢變化，夏天就快到了。東北季風貫穿 整個冬天一直持續到四月底，即使最近氣溫已經上升，提醒我們夏天即將來臨。溫暖的氣溫加 上持續不斷的季風，是航行的絕佳條件。 大自然時不時會丟一些「驚喜」給我們。前些日子我們延遲了幾場春季系列賽，因為缺少風， 隊員和賽委會都十分沮喪，但這就是航行，無法勉強。 本會即將舉行許多激動人心的比賽。當你讀到這篇文章時，季風系列已經結束了，但颱風盃帆 船系列和夏季週六系列賽即將於6月開展。

在5月22日至23日將舉行公開小帆大賽，這是年度

活動亮點之一，能想像這將是一個忙碌又讓人十分期待的週末！ 5月份還有女子帆船節，於5月 21日至30日進行。活動期間將進行許多水上和岸上的活動，例如首次舉辦的遊艇會內部的女子 帆船錦標賽。欲知詳情，歡迎瀏覽本會網站。 隨著夏季逼近，香港正迎來一年中最好的航行天氣。過去的一年裡，相信我們對“staycation”( 宅度假，即留在自己國家或家中度假)並不陌生。即使經常在水上，人們也很容易忘記，生活 在一個擁有如此出色的航海條件的地方是多麼幸運。若能踏上西貢北部的水域，無論是長港、 雙港抑或許多其他隱世寶地，遠離一切一天、一個週末或一個星期，想想就覺得十分美好。航 海中心的辦公室不久將在本會網站上添加一個關於航行的網頁，提供更多資訊和資源。如果你 想分享自己喜歡的航行地點或者對網站內容的建議，歡迎透過電郵聯繫，我們樂意聽到你的意 見。 隨著新冠疫苗接種的開放，旅行氣泡開始出現一線希望。但與此同時，別忘了我們腳下就是絕 佳的消遣去處！希望大家注意安全，水上見！
