REPORTS

The last two months have been extremely busy at the Club. For me, this past year has been somewhat uncertain and, at times, a little volatile, which has made planning challenging. However, thanks to a supportive General Committee (GenCom), I believe we have ticked quite a few boxes along the way. We will see whether you agree at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

During the year, the Club managed to move from a Type B food and beverage facility to a Type C facility with the ability to operate Type D spaces, such as we did at 24 Hour Dinghy Charity Race. The staff were instrumental in achieving this by being fully vaccinated.

We have also appointed a new General Manager, following the retirement of Rene Verhulst. Following an exhaustive five-stage recruitment and screening process, including independent and in-house interviews conducted in both English and Cantonese for all candidates, Paul Arkwright was selected as the strongest candidate for the role. Based on the feedback to date, Paul is a popular choice, and I am sure that he will continue to work for the Club in the same diligent and effective manner that he has done as Vice Commodore.

DON JOHNSTON Commodore

Some of you may recall a town hall meeting of members in 2019 to review changes to the Articles of Association. We explained a need to bring the Club’s Articles into line with the new Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622 gazetted in March 2014) and better align them with the Club’s current objectives and practices. As the vast majority of the changes were driven by the Companies Ordinance, we sought a policy statement of support from the Home Affairs Bureau followed by the approval of the Director of Lands (as required by the Club’s Private Recreational Lease). We now have this, and we are now seeking approval from the Company Registry. After this, we will conduct another members’ forum to update everyone and refresh memories about the key changes and why they are necessary. After that, we will call a General Meeting of members to seek your approval, which will probably happen in April or May 2022.

過去的兩個月非常忙碌。回望過去一年裡，本會面臨不少挑戰。幸得執行委員會的支 持，我們已合力解決了不少難題，年度股東大會上將一一闡述。 在這一年裡，本會餐廳成功從B類轉換成C類餐飲處所，部份區域甚至能以D類模式運 作，就如白沙灣遊艇會24小時慈善小艇賽的活動。是次活動的工作人員接種疫苗率為 百分百，因此能以D類模式舉行是次24小時慈善小艇賽。 另外，在人事方面，在Rene Verhulst 從本會的總經理一職卸任之後，本會需物色合適 人選填補職缺。經過五個階段的招聘和篩選過程，與所有候選人進行單獨面試和小 組面試，面試以英文和廣東話進行，Paul Arkwright被視為該職位的最強候選人。綜合 各方面因素，本會將任命Paul擔任本會總經理一職，相信他將繼續秉持以往勤奮、高 效的工作態度為本會服務。 或許一 部分人 還記得2019年的全民會 議，檢 視修訂後的本會 章 程。香港特區政 府 於2014年3月，在憲報刊登的新《公司條 例》（第622章），本會的公司章 程亦需隨 之修訂，確保與新條 例 一 致。大部分的修訂因應新《公司條 例》而作出，我們已向 民 政事務局尋求 支持政 策 聲明（本會已取得 該 聲明），然 後 又向地 政總署 署 長尋 求 批 准。在 此之後，我們將舉 辦另一 個 會員論 壇，再次向會員介 紹新 章 程 裡的修 訂，然後召集會員大會，徵求會員承認新章程一事的同意，論壇估計在2022年4月 或5月召開。

We are just adjusting back from what will surely be seen as the best 24 Hour Dinghy Charity Race in the Club’s 19-year history. There are some impressive statistics: no injuries or accidents, an event fully compliant with pandemic precautions, 600 sailors registered, over 300 volunteers, and it looks likely that we will raise a near-record sum for charity to boot. This was a truly magnificent event, and for me was topped off by having the best big band in Hong Kong on Saturday evening and a prize-giving on Sunday. A hearty thank you to all involved in the event.

There is a lot of ‘back office’ activity right now: updated and enhanced staff contracts and staff handbooks are being rolled out. Solar panels have been approved for installation on the clubhouse, as has a new crane to replace the 27-year-old green Kobelco crane we currently use. The passenger lift and the refurbishment plans for the Garden Bar are effectively through the regulatory process, and we have also agreed to refurbish the Club’s washrooms and toilets. We also now have Town Planning Board approval to replace the garden bar tent with a permanent structure.

The General Committee has carried on with the twin goals of good corporate governance and continuous improvement. We see many opportunities for improvement but four stand out: •

•

•

•

In the last 20 years, the Club has doubled its membership, and in the last ten years, the Club has quadrupled its sail training activities. Our infrastructure development has been outstripped, and our facilities are partly offsite, overcrowded and, in many instances, temporary.

While there have been many achievements in the last four years, we are still barely halfway there; patience and tenacity will get us to the end of this journey.

We are constantly working on ways to improve our sail training for all and inclusive of both sailors wanting to race and those who prefer to sail recreationally. Part of this is the pathway for elite sailors, including closer cooperation with the Hong Kong Sailing Federation and the Hong Kong Sports Institute.

A staff engagement survey yielded an 88% response rate from our full-time employees. The survey identified areas where we are doing well and, more importantly, highlighted areas requiring improvements to become an employer of choice. Some improvements are easy and quick, but others will require more time and involve changes in behaviour, systems and facilities.

Occupational health, safety and sustainability are all opportunities for improvement, and both have been the focus of recent GenCom decisions to improve the Club’s safety and sustainability performance as well as raise the awareness of these issues among staff and members.

The Club continues to have enthusiastic and dedicated staff, and I express my gratitude to them all. To give effect to our dreams, we have an army of volunteers from our membership, treasured sponsors and hardworking members of sub-committees. Please accept my thanks for your support and hard work and my congratulations on all your achievements. This year’s General Committee has done an amazing job, despite the difficulties in coping with pandemic restrictions. It has continued to be a pleasure working with you.

As we head into the festive season, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a great 2022!

本會最近舉辦了19年歷史以來最成功的24小時慈善小艇賽。是次比賽沒有人員受傷或事故記錄，活動前後依循防疫措施展開。這次盛大的活動共600 名水手報名，300多名義工參與。我們當天所籌集慈善捐款極有可能是歷來最多的一次。那一個週六晚上，有全香港屈指一流的樂隊來表演，週日的頒 獎典禮亦十分精彩難忘。在此，衷心感謝所有出席是次活動的人士。 執行委員會堅持以良好企業管治和持續改進的雙指標管理本會。我們觀察到本會有許多地方需要改進，以下四方面尤為重要： •

在過去的20年裡，本會的會員人數增長一倍；在過去10年裡，本會的帆船訓練活動數量增加了四倍。然而基礎設施不盡完善；部份設施須安置於 非會所的場地，有時設施出現過度擁擠的情況，也有不少設施屬於暫時使用性質；本會的系統也已經過時。雖然本會在過去四年取得了許多成 就，但仍未到達目標的一半。相信只要我們心懷信念和耐性，總有一日能達到終點。

•

本會一直致力為參與帆船比賽，或以帆船作爲優閒活動的所有人提供發展途徑。其中包括與香港帆船總會和香港體育學院加强合作，訓練精英帆 船運動員。

•

員工問卷調查獲得88%的回覆率。該調查顯示本會做得好的領域，更重要的是，本會也看到需要改進的領域，才能成為首選雇主。有些改進可快 捷落實；但有些則需要更多的時間，來改變員工行為、系統和設施。

•

職業健康、安全和可持續發展都是可進一步改善的方面，亦是近期執行委員會決策的重點，並進一步提高工作人員和會員對以上範疇的認識。

本會擁有敬業、盡責的員工，同時亦有大批會員義工、贊助商及小組委員會成員為本會的夢想付出努力。在此，我衷心感謝他們對本會的支持。儘 管現時疫情對我們的工作產生許多影響，今屆的執行委員會還是順利並出色地完成工作。我感到非常榮幸能夠繼續與各位合作並一起努力，為本 會共創佳績。 聖誕佳節即將到來，在此祝大家聖誕快樂，2022年事事如意！

REPORTS

Again another hectic month, and we have multiple projects approved by GenCom and coming online soon.

Masterplan and lease renewal We have now signed the contract with Knight Frank to help the Club with the submission to Lands Department to get the required lease modification for the Regatta Deck underway ASAP. Once we have the approval, we can then demolish the unauthorised tent and build the new Regatta Deck. Once we’ve demolished the tent, we can also reactivate the lease modification for the existing Boat Racks. We are also working out the planning and logistics for the builds of the access lift and new storage areas for the kitchen & garden bar.

Seawall repairs update GenCom has approved the engagement of a contractor to proceed with repairs to the existing sloping seawalls. This will include the reconstruction of existing sloping seawall adjacent to the car park, digging up rutted asphalt in the boatyard and restatement of concrete pavement, reconstruction of concrete slipway—near Marine office/tender moorings and reconstruction of concrete slipway—near the Restaurant.

PAUL ARKWRIGHT Vice Commodore

Marina pile long-term replacement project GenCom has approved a construction contractor’s engagement to conduct the Ground Investigation (GI) works in preparation for the complete replacement of the marina piles.

Boat rack safety walkways The contractor will prepare a mock-up for inspection by Matthew and the boatyard team before the full rollout of the build in December 2021.

Changing rooms projects After completing the designs for the complete refurbishment of the Club changing rooms and their ventilation system, we are now accessing tenders for the works.

At the same time, GenCom has approved the purchase of a temporary mobile shower and toilet block needs to be purchased before the renovation, so everyone has somewhere to shower and use the washrooms during the refurbishment. This refurbishment will be phased starting with the female washrooms, followed by the disabled washroom, and finally the male washrooms.

Solar power project We are finalising the contract with Amosola to ensure proper liability coverage, including property damage, third-party injury, and public material liability. Due to the structural strength of the existing roof of the clubhouse, we are also exploring the use of lightweight solar panels for this project.

Air-conditioning system reinstallation The appointed contractor, ProfitGo, will be placing the order of the VRV system with Daikin. Daikin has indicated the need for a complete shutdown of both the inner and outer restaurant for around two weeks in January 2022, and we will work out alternative dining arrangements for this period, which might well include a BBQ frenzy fortnight.

I am looking forward to helping oversee these projects from a much more operational perspective shortly after returning from Australia.

又是忙碌的一個月。目前有多個項目獲得執行委員會的批准，即將上線和各位會員 見面。 總體規劃和租賃更新 本會已與萊坊測量師行簽訂合同，協助本會向地政總署提交關於租賃更新的文件，以 加快建造新甲板的進程。一旦獲批，我們就可以拆除花園酒吧帳篷，建造新甲板。拆除 了帳篷之後，本會著手處理現有艇架的租賃更新事宜。至於入口安置升降機、廚房新 儲存室和花園吧貯物區等工程仍在規劃階段。 海堤修理工程 執行委員會已核准一家承建商維修海堤，該工程的修葺項目包括修復毗鄰停車場的 海堤、重鋪船塢上混凝土路面、修復船區附近混凝土船台及會所餐廳附近的混凝土 滑道。 碼頭樁柱長期替代項目 執行委員會已批准承建商進行場地勘察，為該項工程做前期準備。 船架安全通道 承建商將在2021年12月之前建造一條模擬通道，供 Matthew 和船廠工作人員參考。 本會更衣室和洗手間的翻新項目 在完成本會更衣室及其通風系統的翻新設計後，我們現正展開該工程投標的程序。執 行委員會已批准購置臨時淋浴和廁所設施，在工程進行期間，大家仍能使用相關設施。 是次翻新工程將分階段完成，先是女洗手間，然後是殘疾人士洗手間，最後是男洗手 間。 太陽能發電項目 我們正在與Amosola商討合約細節及釐定責任範圍，包括財產損失、第三者遇事責任 和公共財務損失責任。考慮到會所現時屋頂的結構強度，該項目可能會取用更輕身的 太陽能電池板。 重新安裝空調系統 承建商ProfitGo將購置Daikin公司的VRV系統，根據Daikin建議，本會的餐廳需在2022 年1月期間關閉約兩週，本會將儘快公佈期間的用餐安排，燒烤或許是不錯的選擇。 我即將前往澳洲，在 旅程結 束之後，將回歸本位，繼續 跟 進、監 督上 述 工程和項目 進展。

PORT SHELTER REGATTA 2021

There were a few farewell parties for Rene before he left the Club at the end of November 2021. Here are some shots from the official farewell party from his staff in the Garden Bar shortly before his last day. At the event, the Commodore gave a speech of thanks to Rene in English and the Vice Commodore echoed these sentiments in a short Cantonese summary. We all wish Rene the best in his future endeavours as he returns to Holland via Singapore.

Rene將於 2021 年 11 月底離開香港，在此之前，本會為他舉辦了歡送會。這些相片是他 在本會工作的最後一天，於花園酒吧舉行的歡送會所拍攝的。當日會長用英文發言向 Rene致謝，副會長亦用簡短的粵語致辭。Rene將經新加坡前往荷蘭，本會衷心祝福他 在未來的日子事事順遂，生活愉逸。

Quest, 6th in IRC A (UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2021, Race 5) For the predicted light conditions, and the needs of six competing divisions, Race Officer Inge Strompf -Jepsen took a while to brief her team before venturing out into Port Shelter to lay the marks for the islands courses in Race 5 of the UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2021 on Sunday 25 July 2021.

考慮到當天的天氣因素，以及六組不同競賽組別所需要的自然條

Hebe One dropped anchor northeast of Shelter Island and, in the sweltering heat and haze, the RO finalised her choices for courses, taking into account the wind readings submitted by the various support craft inside and outside Port Shelter. No windward mark was laid.

件，賽事主任 Inge Strompf 花了一些時間向賽事團隊介紹情況，然 後前往牛尾海，為 2021UK Sailmakers 颱風盃系列賽的第五場比賽 的環島賽做標記。

霧濛濛一片，賽事主任在分析牛尾海內、外支援船隻提交的風速數 據後，最終確定了賽道。 當日沒有設置迎風標。 根據會船上的工作人員記錄，當日東南風風速為4.5節；共52艘船

On the committee boat, a southeasterly of 4.5 knots was blowing. Fifty-two boats were counted, and the first warning signal sounded at 1050.

參與是次賽事；第一次警告訊號於10時50分發出。 IRC A組別被分到 106 號賽道。在11時00分，8 艘船隻跨越終點線（

The IRC A division was given course 106 and, at 1100, eight sleek racing machines cleared the line (although Zannekin’s bowsprit came within millimetres of an OCS). In store for them was a starboard rounding of East Nine Pin, a port rounding of a Ma Tsai Pai Mark, Port Shelter Mark (s), then Steep Island (s), Trio (p) and a finish off Little Palm Beach. A distance covered of some 18 nautical miles.

不過 Zannekin 偷步，賽事管理團隊予以警告）。他們先繞過東九 針，然後繞過孖仔排標記、牛尾海標記、青洲標記、大癩痢標記， 最後賽事於小棕林海灘結束，小棕林海灘標記與終點線距離約18 海里。 在11時05分，風速降至 2.5 節，但賽事主任的船隻仍在前進，並說： 「IRC B組別的船隊仍在前行。」話音剛落，11 艘船已越過終點線。

Five minutes later, the wind had died to 2.5 knots, but the RO pressed on, saying, “They are still moving.” as 11 boats in IRC B crossed the line. H3O was too eager and had to return (and later retired—not a good day for the MC31). The RO had chosen course 107 for this no-less-competitive division and off they went to North Nine Pin leaving it to port, Trio Island to starboard, then Port Shelter Mark (s), Trio (p), Table (p) and a finish off Little Palm Beach. This was approximately 5nm shorter than course 106.

一開始時，H3O過於進取，後來不得不返回重新開始（最後退出賽 事，這一天對 MC31 來說不是個好日子）。 賽事主任為這個競爭激 烈的組別安排了 107 號賽道，初始船伍以左舷行駛前往北九針，以 右舷行駛至大癩痢，然後經過牛尾海標記、大癩痢、平面洲和小棕 林海灘。 這一航程的平均距離，比 106號賽道上進行的賽事短每 小時 5 海里。 第三組出發的船隻屬IRC

C組，於11時10分啟航。此時，風向已偏南

IRC C started third at 1110 and, by this time, the wind had swung a good 40 degrees to the south. Arcturus was over and returned while Dexter II led the 10-strong division away, also on the 13nm course 107.

整整40度。在107號賽道上，以平均速度達每小時13海里的 Dexter

The next start (1115) was for the three J/80s and 10 HKPN A boats. The wind was holding at around 3.5 knots and the boats headed off on course 107, Bits & Pieces leading the pack.

Minutes later, with the starting sequence for HKPN B underway, the wind died and an AP was raised at 1118. The nine cruisers appeared to be struggling in the light airs and the RO decided a delayed start would be a better option, although, 10 minutes later, the wind was barely 1 knot! But the delay gave time to relay the line as the wind had swung back to 150 degrees. At 1140, in 5.6 knots, the horn sounded for the second-to-last start. Ma Cherie 2e came about at the pin, got into a tussle with La Vida Loca and Gecko, and retired minutes later.

幾分鐘後， HKPN B 級船的賽事開始，不過風勢開始明顯減弱，賽事

HKPN B had been given course 30, which took in Bluff Island (p), the Inner Port Shelter Mark (s), Ma Tsai Pai Mark (p) and a finish off Little Palm Beach – a distance of 11 nautical miles.

HKPN B級船在 30 號賽道上開始賽事，其航線需經過甕缸洲標記、

Last off at 1145 was the single entry in the Short-handed Class—disappointing, really, given the amount of lobbying these sailors have done for their own category. In future, it would be good to see more short-handers taking up the call.

最後，於11 點 45 分進行小型帆船組別的賽事，只有一組參賽者。即

Out in open water and around the islands, criss-crossing boats were enjoying increased winds and, at 12:58:59, Alpha Plus was the first boat home, followed by the other TP52, Phoenix, at 13:09:39. On handicap, the IRC A finishing order was Witchcraft 1st, Alpha Plus 2nd and Zannekin 3rd. Phoenix slumped to last place.

在開闊的水域裡，海面上船隻縱橫交錯，風力愈發增強。在12:58:59

Then, in IRC B, misinterpretation of the HHYC’s recently-updated Standard Sailing Instructions led to a dramatic final outcome. course 107 requires a port rounding of Trio Island, yet eight boats chose to regard it as a passing mark. In an annex to the listed courses, the Instructions read, “All marks for all courses, except starting and finishing marks, shall be rounding marks.”

Thus, Daydream, Kiasu!, Juggerknot, Rampage, Kingsman, Intrigue Plus, Outrageous and Bad Idea Bears on Full Tilt were blown out at a protest hearing on Wednesday, 28 July. That left protest instigator, Nightshift in 1st place on handicap and Tipsy Easy in 2nd.

然而，在 IRC B 組中，部份選手未能準確理解更新後的標準航行

管理團隊於 11 時 18 分掛起 AP 旗 。因風速較弱，9 艘 HKPN B 級船似 乎有些吃力，於是賽事主任決定延遲開始。再過了10幾分鐘後，風 速竟降至1節！幸好，因賽事管理團隊決定延遲開始，給予他們時間 重設航線，此時風向已變至150度。在11時40分，風速已達5.6節，賽 事管理團隊已倒數兩次並發出啟航信號。比賽終於開始， Ma Cherie 2出場，不久與 La Vida Loca、Gecko 交戰，在幾分鐘後退出賽事。

內牛尾海標記、孖仔排標記，最後賽事於小棕林海灘結束，小棕林 海灘標記與終點線距離約11海里。

使已努力遊說選手們參加該組別的賽事，但最後參與人數不算理 想。未來希望看到更多的選手報名參加。

內，Alpha Plus完成賽事，是第一艘返航的船；隨後是TP52，Phoenix， 在13:09:39內完成賽事。在IRC A組讓分系統排行榜上，Witchcraft排在 首位，Alpha Plus 排在第二，Zannekin則為第三。Phoenix跌至最後一名。

指南，導致賽果出現很大變化。根據賽事規則，107號賽道需要圍 繞大癩痢島的一個港口航行，但其中八艘船誤以為到達該港口 後，便已完成要求。在上述指南的附件中，寫明：「所有賽事的分 數，除開始和結束分數外，均以四捨五入方法計算。」因此，Full Tilt 上的 Daydream、Kiasu! 、Juggerknot、Rampage、Kingsman、 Intrigue Plus、Outrageous 和 Bad Idea Bears 在 7 月 28 日星期三的 抗議聆訊會上被淘汰。 最後，發起是次抗議的Nightshift 在讓分系 統排行榜上位居第一，Tipsy Easy 排名第二。

Things were better in IRC C, with Dexter II putting in a consistent performance to claim both line and handicap honours. Goddess chalked up a 2nd and Whiskey Jack a 3rd. Talkinghead retired. Likewise, in the J/80 division where Footloose took line and handicap honours with Jelik 7 in 2nd and Baring Asia 1 in 3rd. There were only three boats competing in this category.

UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2021, Races 6 & 7 UK Sailmakers 2021 颱風盃帆船系列第六丶七場比賽 On the rail of Alpha Plus (UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2021, Race 7)

At 0935 on Sunday 8 August 2021, Hebe One, the committee boat, left its berth at HHYC, venturing outside into Port Shelter for the start of Races 6 & 7 of the UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2021.

9點35分，會船 1 號離開了白沙灣遊艇會，前往牛尾海，參加 2021年 UK Sailmakers 颱風盃系列賽第 6 & 7 場賽事。 出發前，賽事主任 Barry Truhol 向他的賽事管理團隊做了簡

Prior to departure, the Race Officer, Barry Truhol, had briefed his race management team. Then, assisted by his deputy Race Officer, Leslie Anderson, and Assistant Race Officer, Howie Suen, set about determining the lengths of the geometric courses to be sailed, given the predicted wind conditions and out-going tide.

要介紹。然後，在副賽事主任Leslie Anderson 和助理賽事主 任 Howie Sun 的協助下，根據預測的風況和退潮情況，決定 浮標賽的航行路線。 會船Hebe One 在甕缸洲和火石洲之間的海峽西面拋錨，海

Further out than usual, the anchor of Hebe One was dropped near the western approach to the channel between Bluff and Basalt Islands. There, a 6- to 7-knot southwesterly was flicking between 220 and 250 degrees. Having initially set up the marks for 230 degrees, a major wind shift to 195 degrees meant relaying the marks to 195 degrees. The outer windward mark for the IRC fleet was set at a distance of 1.0 nautical mile and at 0.8nm for the J/80 and HKPN fleets, both with offset marks.

A leeward gate was laid in front of the 250-metre start line.

面吹著6到7節的西南風，風向在220到250度之間。初時在 230度方向投下賽標，後來因風向轉變，賽事管理團隊再調 整賽標，放於195度的風向。IRC船隊的上風標記，與船隊距 離1.0海里；J/80級和HKPN級的上風標記與其船隊距離0.8 海里，兩個組別皆有偏移標記。賽事管理團隊在起點前250 米設置了下風閘道。 其後賽事管理團隊揚起 AP 旗幟，參賽隊伍因此多了時間加

But this all meant an AP flag which, fortuitously, gave more time for the fleet to assemble – critical given the new 4-minute start window.

快集合。根據現時賽規規定，選手們須於 4 分鐘內啟航。 在11時26分，10艘 IRC A 組船開始三圈長航線的賽事。Alpha

First off, at 1126 were the 10 IRC A boats on three laps of the long course. Alpha Plus, Ambush, Zannekin, Witchcraft and Xena were closely aligned at the start. Quest brought up the rear on port tack.

Plus、Ambush、Zannekin、Witchcraft 和 Xena 在初時距離 非常接近。 Quest 因左舷搶風，落在後面。 五分鐘後，八艘 IRC B 組船開始兩圈長航線的賽事，Outrageous、

Next off, after five minutes, were the eight IRC B boats, on two laps of the long course, with Outrageous, H3O, Nightshift, Juggerknot, Daydream and Kiasu! all running the line. But Outrageous ran out of line and had to circle around to start.

H3O、Nightshift、Juggerknot、Daydream和 Kiasu！都在航 線範圍內，但是 Outrageous 超出航線範圍，不得不返回再 重新開始。

At 1136, the nine IRC C boats followed, also on two laps of the long course, with Arcturus, at the pin-end almost OCS.

在11時36分，九艘 IRC C組船跟在後 面，也開始了兩圈長航線，選手之一 Arcturus 差點偷步。在 11 點 41分，J/80

The J/80s followed at 1141, with Footloose getting the best start on two laps of the inner course.

Next, it was the turn of the eleven HKPN A boats. Team Michael Li on Baring Asia 1 and Ichiban were both over early and obliged to restart. Baring Asia 1, on their first attempt, failed to clear the line and had to try again, by which time the four-minute start window had closed.

Oh dear.

接下來，輪到11艘HKPN A組的船隻

成績是眾多開局之中最好的。

開始比賽。Michael Li所屬的 Baring Asia 1 與 Ichiban 都於指定時間前 起航，於是不得不重新開始。Baring Asia 1 的第一次嘗試失敗，不得不再 次嘗試，此時已經過了四分鐘內起 航的時間。

The breeze had swung further south and briefly eased to 3.5 knots when nine HKPN B boats started at 1151. Baby Beluga led off the line.

11 點 51 分，當九艘 HKPN B組船開始 航行時，風向南吹並短暫地減弱至 3.5 節。船隊 Baby Beluga 領先。

At the gate, it was the TP52, Alpha Plus, which completed the first lap in front, as it did for the remaining two laps, followed by the other two TP52s, Free Fire and Phoenix.

Several boats left it late to drop their kites at the gate and came unstuck. None more so than Ichiban, while others, including Phoenix, washed theirs. Ding Dong kissed the starboard gate buoy and exonerated itself with a penalty turn.

雖然有幾艘 船遲了將風帆放 於閘 道，最後順利通過。Ichiban、 Phoenix 在清洗自己的風帆。Ding Dong 撞上 右舷閘道的浮標，被罰航行一圈。

Meanwhile, the breeze steadily built to 10 knots resulting in all the competitors, other than seven HKPN boats, finishing within the estimated 60 to 90 minutes. The last of the HKPN B boats – La Folia – finished in an elapsed time of 1:59:14.

與此同時，風速穩步增強至10節。

With the breeze relatively constant between 9 and 11 knots, the course was extended out to 1.3nm for IRC and 1.1nm for the rest, with again three laps for IRC A and two for the rest.

由於風 速相對 穩 定，維 持在9到11

Would the forecast force 3 be blowing outside Port Shelter? Was it going to be a drifter, or worse, would Race 8 of the UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2021 on Sunday 15 August 2021 be abandoned? For some, perseverance would be rewarded; for others, it was going to be a long, tiring day.

As the boats sailed their respective courses, there were moments when the breeze, particularly near East Nine Pin, rose above 6 knots but, for most of the day, crews had to work hard to stay focused in the light airs. As the afternoon drew on, the breeze died even further, and many did not make it.

在大部分時間，選手們不得不專心致志，靠僅存的微風航行。 到了下午，因風勢越來越弱，許多選手未能抵達終點。 在極具挑戰的條件下，IRC A組裡的衝線首名以及讓分排行榜首 名由 TP52，Alpha Plus 奪得，他們於 14:31:40 完成賽事。 21 分鐘

First home in IRC A at 14:31:40 was the TP52, Alpha Plus. The crew can be rightly proud of their line honours and 1st on handicap in the challenging conditions. Twenty-one minutes later, arch-rival Phoenix crossed to claim 2nd on handicap, with Zannekin 3rd. DEA III Fire did not finish and Rampage 88 retired.

後， Phoenix 完成賽事，於讓分系統排行榜排名第 2，Zannekin 排名第 3。DEA III Fire 沒有完成比賽，Rampage 88 則退出比賽。 IRC B組的MC31，H3O 因團隊協作改善， 獲得該組賽事的衝線 榮譽和讓分系統排行榜首名，這使他們在第 9 場賽事的排名 進一步提升，得出總成績排在第四名。「我們希望參加浮標賽

Thanks to improved crew work, line and handicap honours went to H3O in IRC B. This put the MC31, now lying 4th overall in the series, in a favourable position for the final, Race 9. “We’re hoping for a triangular course to show what the boat can do,” said crewman Rowan. Now lying 1st in the series, Nightshift filled the 2nd spot with Kingsman 3rd and Kiasu! 4th. Juggerknot, with a long return journey home, retired early. So did Tipsy Easy.

Only three boats finished in IRC C. They were Dexter II, winning line and handicap honours, Blu in 2nd and Ding Dong in 3rd. Newcomer, Juice, a J/99, threw in the towel after five hours “Going around Steep was really a struggle.

They could have finished the race at Table,” said helmsman Peter Baer.

後就認輸了。「在青洲的賽程對他們來說極具難度，原以為他 們可以在完成平面洲的賽程。」舵手 Peter Baer 說。J/80級別 的三隊選手未能完成賽事因而退出。

團隊成員堅持不懈，終於在18:02:30完成比賽，獲得衝線榮

In the HKPN A fleet, Bridget Chan and her determined crew on Minnie the Moocher stuck it out and finished at 18:02:30 to claim line honours and 2nd on handicap. Tim Ridley’s Scintilla, finishing at almost six-thirty, emerged victorious, while Jibulai placed 3rd and Temujin 4th. Eight boats retired.

The day was a lot less frustrating for the HKPN B boats sailing the 14nm course 53. The ever-enthusiastic La Vida Loca finished at 14:09:04 to claim line honours and 2nd on handicap. Baby Beluga came out tops on handicap with Foxzhead 3rd.

需完成總長 14 海里的航行，被安排在 53 號賽道進行賽事。 熱情洋溢的 La Vida Loca 於 14:09:04 結束賽事，獲得了衝線 榮譽。Baby Beluga在讓分系統排行榜上位居第一；La Vida Loca 第二；Foxzhead 第三。至於小型帆船組別賽，唯一參賽 隊伍 Miss LeVa 於15時16分退出。

The only Short-handed entry, Miss LeVa, retired at 1516. 儘管賽事管理團隊能彈性調整賽程長短，他們還是讓選手在

Sending boats out to the Nine Pins in light airs was a bold move despite the ‘options for shortening’. Some felt a finish at the Inner Port Shelter Mark should have been considered, while others questioned why Steep Island had to be rounded. Forty-seven boats entered, 18 retired. A test of patience, strength and endurance for all.

風勢較弱的時候，前往果洲完成賽事，不得不說是一個大膽的 舉動。一部份人認為應該在內牛尾海內設置終點，一部份人則 質問為什麼要求選手一定要環繞青洲航行。是次賽事共四十 七艘船參加，十八艘退出。毫無疑問，這一次比賽考驗了所有 人的耐心、力量和韌性。

Rampage approaches the leeward gate (UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2021, Race 9)

UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2021, Race 9 UK Sailmakers 2021 颱風盃帆船系列第九場比賽 After four geometric and four island races, the final of the UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2021 was held on Saturday, 21 August 2021. For the 50 boats (out of 67 entries) that showed up, conditions were ideal with a constant 10 – 12 knots, blowing from 170 to 190 degrees.

On the committee boat, Race Officer, Inge Strompf -Jepsen, had Barry Truhol and Howie Suen to assist her, along with numerous volunteers taking times, monitoring wind and attending to the flags. 在2021 UK Sailmakers 颱風系列賽四場浮標賽和四場環島賽之後，決賽於 2021 年 8 月 21 日週六舉行。共 67 隊船隊報名，當中 50 隊參與賽 事。當日天氣條件非常理想，維持在 10 至 12 節的風速 ，風向在 170 到 190 度之間。 在會船上，賽事主任 Inge Strompf 有 Barry Truhol 和 Howie Suen 協助，還有許多義工負責計時、監測風向和照看旗幟。

With just the one geometric race, Truhol was given the task of determining the optimal length of the courses. His plan was for an IRC top mark at 1.3 nautical miles and another mark for the J/80 and HKPN divisions at 1.1 nautical miles, both at 170 degrees and both with offsets at about 200 metres. Having positioned the windward marks, the support boats then laid a 100-metre leeward gate, along with a 250-metre start line.

First off, on schedule at 1400, on three laps of the long course, were the nine IRC A boats. The TP52, Alpha Plus, led the field—a position it would not relinquish.

Witchcraft, having opted to race in this higher rating category, finished 2nd with Seawolf 3rd.

The third start was for IRC C at 1410. The fleet was well spread out along the start line with Arcturus and the J/99 newcomer, Juice, amongst the front-runners, also on two laps of the long course. Following in the footsteps of the veteran Tripp 40, Rampage, the new Fareast 28, Rampage 28, likewise came in at speed to the leeward gate, narrowly avoiding Intrigue plus and dropping its kite late. It, too, continued on towards Cascade Bay, losing valuable time. Talkinghead claimed both line and handicap honours ahead of Dexter II 2nd and Goddess 3rd out of the nine boats in the division.

At the first rounding of the leeward gate, Rampage left it late to drop its kite and continued on heading for Cascade Bay before recovering, only to retire shortly thereafter.

After completing two laps of the long course, Nightshift took line and handicap honours with Juggerknot 2nd and Kingsman 3rd.

Series result It was not all plain sailing in the Series, with some 26 requests for hearings lodged. Some related to the revised sailing instructions and courses introduced without sufficient notice at the start of the Series, when crews were still using the courses in the old sailing instructions and others unaware of the introduction of the new 4-minute start window.

系列賽成績

Race management teams, in general, did a great job and were praised

by Zannekin’s Ben Harding for getting all races completed in tough conditions. Had resources been available, though, certain courses could have been shortened, in particular, the last islands race when 18 boats retired out of 47 starters.

總結而言，賽事管理團隊出色地完成任務，並在艱

Earlier in the week, the Race Officer (RO), Rob Allen, was concerned that the two typhoons affecting the region—Conson (heading for Vietnam) and Chanthu (heading for Taiwan)— might result in the cancellation of the event. Fortunately, with both staying clear of Hong Kong, the event was able to proceed, although Hong Kong, and Port Shelter in particular, found itself sandwiched between the two, which still impacted sailing conditions.

本週早些時候有兩個熱帶氣旋康森（移動至越南）、燦都（

There was barely a whisper of wind as the committee boat, Hebe One, headed out into Port Shelter to appraise conditions for the first of two dinghy races at 1130 and 1500. The start of the Ladies Helm Race was scheduled for 1400.

兩場小艇賽事於 11:30 和 15:00 舉行，當會船Hebe 1號駛進牛

Around 1000, from 97 breezes, there were just two knots of wind. So, anticipating some improvement, the RO prepared a downwind start with the fleet heading straight back to the finish line in front of the clubhouse.

Taking into account the conditions, the RO then decided to set the start line closer to the entrance to Hebe Haven. The fickle breeze was in a playful mood, so the AP postponement flag was hoisted in the hope that things would stabilise and allow all the boats to assemble in the start area.

Meanwhile, the wind had swung from a southeasterly to a northwesterly, swinging between 290 and 320 degrees and ranging from 4.4 to 10 knots. The AP flag was finally lowered at 1159, with racing for all classes of the 55 dinghies on the water starting at 1205. Ultimately 48 recorded a result or retired.

Initially, there was 4 knots from 020 degrees as the boats approached the start line before it dropped off. Eliza Yeung’s J/80, Jelik 7, was best placed on the start line under mainsail before struggling to get its kite flying. Ichiban was further back and, likewise, struggled initially to hoist its kite.

Thereafter, the breeze continued to ease and after 45 minutes, after consulting the skippers, the RO had little option but to abandon the race.

此後，風勢繼續放緩，在45分鐘後，賽事主任詢問船長 意見，決定終止比賽。

By 1500, the dinghies were back at the start line but, with barely any breeze, the RO abandoned plans for a second race. He opted instead for a mass gathering of the fleet for a photo opportunity. The more competent Optimist sailors were encouraged to capsize their boats and stand on their hulls, whilst some RS Quests also ‘capsized’. Once pictures were done, the Optimist sailors were encouraged to splash the adults on the RS Quests with ‘battles’ breaking out all round the committee boat. They weren’t the only ones, with the Sailability 2.4mR sailors getting in on the action splashing their fellow sailors.

Despite the conditions, most were delighted to have at least got one race in, still making for an enjoyable day on the water, with over HK$22,000 raised for Sailability Hong Kong.

於 15:00 正，隊伍回到起跑線，因為海面幾乎沒有微 風，於是賽事主任取消第二場比賽。他讓 所有選手 在海面上集合，一起來張大合照。選手們站在自己的 船上，為拍照做準備。大合照之後，樂天小帆船和RS Quests的選手們玩心大發，互相嬉戲潑水。航能香港 2.4mR選手也參與其中，還有其他組別的選手也一同 加入。 雖然天氣條件不盡如願，但大部分人參加了至少一場 賽事，在水上度過了愉快的一天，為航能香港籌得超 過2萬2千元港幣。

PORT SHELTER REGATTA 2021, RACES 1

Big swells off Basalt Island (Port Shelter Regatta 2021, Day 1)

Port Shelter Regatta 2021, Day 1 2021 牛尾海帆船賽第一日賽況 A quick recce by one of HHYC’s support boats on Saturday, 25 September, found an encouraging 15 knots of easterly breeze outside Port Shelter. Great for big boats, not really so great for J/80s and Sportsboats having to contend with big swells and choppy seas for two and a half hours.

9 月 25 日（週六），白沙灣遊艇會的一艘支援船視察牛尾海 的天氣條件，當時海面吹來的東風風勢強勁，高達 15 節。 這 種條件非常適合大型船隻航行，但對於 J/80 和 Sportsboats 就不太理想，因為它們要在巨浪和波濤洶湧的大海中逗留兩 個半小時。

So, given the conditions, Race Officer, Barry Truhol, avoided courses 69, 72, 74, 77 and 107, and chose course 114 for IRC Division A (20 nautical miles); course 115 for IRC Division C, Sportsboats, J-80s and HKPN A (15 nautical miles); and course 116 for HKPN B (10 nautical miles). This selection, he believed, would primarily suit the capabilities of the mid-fleet and ensure that everyone else had a good afternoon’s racing.

考慮到以上因素，賽事主任Barry Truhol避開了賽道 69、72、74 、77 和 107，並為 IRC A 組（ 20 海里）安排了 賽道 114 ； IRC C 組、運動型帆船艇、J-80s 和 HKPN A組（ 15 海里）安排了賽道 115 ； HKPN B 組（ 10 海里）賽道 116 。賽事主任 Barry Truhol 相 信安排符合中型艦隊的能力，讓大家度過一個愉快的下午。

He then made his official welcome on VHF to the 38 boats assembled for Race 1 of the Port Shelter Regatta 2021. There would be four starts and, once again, no prizegiving, but there were bottles of champagne on board for the winners…

之後，賽事主任 Barry Truhol 在 VHF 上歡迎牛尾海帆船賽第 1 場 賽事的參賽者—— 共 38 艘船。第一場賽事有四個回合；頒獎 典禮因疫情限制不會舉辦，但準備了香檳與獲勝者共同慶祝。

Assistant Race Officer, Leon Man, announced the courses and starting sequences in Cantonese as an acknowledgement to the growing number of Chinese crews taking part in HHYC events. Incidentally, more than 21 of the 38 boats in Race 1 had all-Chinese crews. This is due, in large part, to the Club’s effective sail training programmes and diverse membership.

Truhol positioned the committee boat, Shun Fung, southeast of Sharp Island, with the outer distance mark laid towards Sharp Island. The AP was raised at 1355 to re-position the pin, which had moved 30 degrees. Finally, at 1416, eight boats in IRC A crossed the line, Alpha Plus taking an early lead into the 13-knot breeze from 110 degrees.

助理賽事主任 Leon Man 用粵語解釋了賽道和出發次序。越 來越多的華人選手參加本會的活動， 就第 1 場賽事而言，38 艘船裡超過 21 艘是華人，可見華人的參與程度愈來愈高，這 要歸功於本會多元的航海培訓活動和入會計劃。 Barry Truhol 安排會船 Shun Fung 駐留在橋咀洲東南面，在 橋咀洲外設置賽標。 AP 旗幟在 13：55 分揚起，其方向已移動 30 度。 最後，在 14：16 分，IRC A 組 有八艘船越線，Alpha Plus 位於 110 度方向，風速為 13 節的情況下領先。

接下來是六艘 IRC C 組及 七艘 運動型帆船艇組 別 的 船隻，五 分鐘 後 又有 三 艘 J/80 和六艘 HKPN A 組 緊隨 其後。之後 是 擁 有 七艘船的 HKPN B 組 DEA II，船上 人才濟濟。新來的 Naiad駕駛 Taipan 28，走 在最後。 被 Zannekin 緊追的 Alpha

Alpha Plus, chased by Zannekin, revelled in the conditions, taking the swells in its stride and gybing into the finish to claim line honours at 16:41:24, five minutes shy of Truhol’s predicted two and a half hour race time. Alpha Plus also claimed handicap honours in IRC A, followed by Zannekin and Witchcraft. Daydream found the going tough and retired just before six ’o clock. In fact, two other tail-enders in Division A also struggled in the dying breeze— Outrageous finished 6th at 18:06:12 and DEA III Fire finished 7th in an elapsed time of three hours and 48 minutes.

PORT SHELTER REGATTA 2021, RACES 2 & 3

Port Shelter Regatta 2021, Day 2 2021 牛尾海帆船賽第二日賽況

Clear start for HKPN B Day 2 of the Port Shelter Regatta 2021 comprised two geometric races, both of which proved challenging for the race management team.

牛尾海帆船賽第二日有第 2 & 3 場浮標賽，這兩場比賽對賽

Having opted to remain within Port Shelter, the Race Officer (RO), Barry Truhol, and his team on Hebe One, set about determining the optimal course for Race 2. The breeze was oscillating widely between 040 and 090 degrees, so he settled on a bearing of 85 degrees to the top A1 mark at a distance of 1.1 nautical miles for the IRC fleet and Sportsboats, and an inner A2 mark for HKPN and the J/80s, both with offset marks.

賽事在牛尾海舉行，賽事主任 Barry Truhol 和會船 1 號的團

First off on schedule was IRC A, with Quest well placed on the line. IRC C and Sportsboats followed with both Talkinghead and the VX One, Serendipity, caught on course side (OCS).

當日IRC A組與 Quest 保持領先，IRC C 組和運動型帆船艇緊

Then came the drama: it was realised that the windward marks did not correspond to the layout of the proposed course and some marks had drifted out of position! The third start for HKPN A and the J/80s was quickly postponed, and the N flag hoisted, abandoning Race 2 for those that had already started.

賽事進行期間還發生了一段插曲，賽事團隊發現迎風標記

Support boats sped to the top marks to assist in repositioning the marks before returning to adjust the pin-end start line mark.

在回去調整銷端起點標記之前，支援船隻助重新調整頂標。

事管理團隊來說都具有挑戰性。

隊已規劃第 2 場浮標賽的最佳路線。風向在 040 度和 090 度之間來回，所以賽事主任安排 IRC 艦隊和運動型帆船艇 在 1.1 海里處，與頂部 A1 標記成 85 度角；HKPN 級和 J-80級 有一個內部 A2 標記，兩組都有偏移標記。

追在後，更後面的則是Talkinghead和 VX One、Serendipity。

與擬定的路線不吻合，且有些標記已偏離位置。HKPN

A級

和 J/80級的第 3 場比賽因此延遲；同時揚起 N 旗，取消第 2 場浮標賽。

之後賽道重新設於 90 度的方向，IRC A組船隻於13時03分開

With the course finally reset at 90 degrees, countdown procedures recommenced for a 1303 start for IRC A. Pent up frustrations got the better of the 10 starters, and there was a general recall, putting the fleet at the back of the queue for a re-start.

始賽事。不過，其他10隊選手提出異議，認為IRC A組船隻未 能遵守賽規，要求他們排在啟航隊列的後方再開始賽事。 在13時18分，7艘HKPN B級船出發；IRC A組船則在13時23分

At 1318 it was the turn of the seven HKPN B boats before IRC A finally got its turn at 1323.

出發。

But, again, frustration got the better of the crews, and again there was a general recall. To impose some discipline, the RO hoisted a black flag. That meant disqualification for any further transgressors.

賽程進展不如預期，選手們因個別船

It was a case of third time lucky for IRC A as everyone enjoyed a clean start at 13:32:00.

這是IRC A組船隻的第三次啟航，與選

All classes were sailing course 6, which comprised two laps of the inner or outer course with a leeward gate providing options.

所有級別的船隻均在6號賽道比賽，須

The breeze remained fluky throughout the race, but all boats finished, apart from Outrageous in IRC A, and Naiad and Scrumpy in HKPN B. Thereafter, it was straight into the countdown for Race 3.

在 整 個 比 賽 過 程 中，風 一 直很不 穩

Having lost one hour in the morning, the RO was keen to get the last race underway quickly, choosing to leave the windward marks unchanged with a leeward mark, settling on a two-lap race for IRC A and one lap for the rest.

Unfortunately, the wind had swung further south, fluctuating between 120 and 180 degrees.

After consulting the IRC A fleet, the majority were in favour of continuing on what would be a reaching course.

在 早上 失 去了一 個 小 時 後，賽 事 主

隻的行為再次提出異議，要求重新啟 航。為了維 持紀律，賽 事主任 舉起 黑 旗，表示接下來若出現違規者，他們 即刻被取消資格。

手們於13時32分一同出發。

定。幸好大部分船隻皆完成賽事，除了 IRC A 組的 Outrageous，以及HKPN B 級的 Naiad 和 Scrumpy。之後便進入 了第 3 場浮標賽。

任 希望 最 後 一場 賽 事能 儘 快 進 行， 他 讓 迎 風 和 背風 標 保 持 不變，並 為 IRC A 組安排了兩圈比賽，其餘的則 安排了一圈。不 幸的是，風向進一 步 轉 向 南 面，在 120 度 至1 8 0 度 之 間 搖 擺。賽事管理團隊在諮詢了IRC A組 船 的 選 手 後，大 部分人 同 意 原 先 擬 定的航線。 在第 3 場賽事中，IRC C組船隻和運動

First off in Race 3 were IRC C and Sportsboats at 1449 in 7.7 knot winds with the VX One, FAB, well placed on the line. The Magic 25, Red Herring II, came through at speed beside the committee boat.

型帆船艇於 14 點 49 分以 7.7 節的速度 行駛，VX One 、FAB保持優勢。Magic 25 和 Red Herring II 快速駛過會船。 5 分鐘後，J/80 級和 HKPN A 級船緊隨 其後，在 155 度的方向以 7.8 節的速度

In IRC C, Whiskey Jack took line and handicap honours beating Juice into 2nd by 27 seconds on handicap in Race 1. Juice took revenge in Race 2 winning line and then handicap honours by nine seconds. Having won Race 1, Whiskey Jack took overall with Juice 2nd. Blu finished 3rd in both races, which added to a 4th from Race 1, gave them 3rd overall.

在 IRC C組中，Whiskey Jack 在第 1 場賽事中以 27 秒的優勢擊敗 Juice，

而 Ker 46 Zannekin 在 2 場賽事中均獲得第二名。 在第 1 場比賽中斬獲第 一、第 2 場比賽斬獲第二，Alpha Plus 幾乎取得所有榮譽；Zannekin 則排 在第二。 Quest 本身已斬獲 2 個第三名，但由於錯過了第 1 場比賽，最終 以第 5 名完賽，而 Witchcraft 則升至第 3 名。

Generations won line honours in both HKPN B races finishing 2nd in Race 2 and 1st in Race 3 on handicap—and a 2nd place in Race 1 gave it the overall title. Foxzhead won Race 2 and finished 2nd in Race 3 on handicap to claim 2nd overall. DEA II finished strongly with two 3rd places, but a 6th in Race 1 meant it lost out to La Vida Loca for 3rd overall.

Generations 在 HKPN B級中的兩場比賽中都獲得衝線榮譽，並在第 1 場 比賽中獲得第 2 名，在第 2 場比賽中獲得第 2 名，在第 3 場比賽中獲得第 1 名，總成績位居第一。 Foxzhead 在第 2 場比賽獲勝，第 3 場比賽在讓分 系統上排在第 2 ，總成績位居第二。 DEA II 取得兩個第 3 名，但因在第 1 場比賽中獲得第 6 名，未能擊敗La Vida Loca，總成績位居第三。

Although not ideal, the race management team did a good job to overcome the challenges they faced and complete the two races.

Hopefully, lessons will have been learnt to avoid any repetition.

The Garden Bar was relatively quiet as prize-givings are still not allowed, but the sponsored Carlsberg beer helped contribute to a memorable regatta.

雖然當日賽程進展遇到不少障礙，賽事管理團隊努力克服挑戰，使兩場 賽事圓滿結束。希望團隊可以汲取教訓，避免重蹈覆轍。 因疫情限制未能在會所的花園酒吧舉辦頒獎典禮，但好在還有贊助商嘉 士伯啤酒，讓大家享受賽後的歡樂時光，留下美好的時刻。

Sailability Updates The many roles of a

SAILABILITY COACH 身兼多職的航能教練

by Jack Shum

I remember on the first day of the RYA Sailing coach class, the trainer asked a seemingly simple question.

What are the traits needed to be a coach?

記得在英國皇家遊艇協會帆船教 練課的第一天，教練問了一個看 似簡單的問題：成為教練需要具 備哪些特質？

After thinking for a long time, I could only write a few points including: 1.

3.

決心

4.

毅力

5.

接受差異

6.

勇於承認錯誤

7.

8.

謹慎

After being a coach for some time, these theories are exactly that…theories, and they were left behind a long time ago. It was not until I went to Sailability to teach as a coach many years ago that I was suddenly awakened to what the real meaning of a trainer is.

在當了一段時間的教練之後，理

As a sailing coach in Sailability, you have diverse roles.

You look like a sailing coach, but you need the empathy of a social worker, the enthusiasm of an evangelist, the patience of a farmer, and the care required to complete a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle!

作為航能香港的帆船教練需扮演不

論就是理論，很快就被我拋諸腦 後。直到我去了航能香港當教 練，我才突然意識到教練的真正 含義是什麼。

THE TIDES 潮汐更迭 THEY ARE A CHANGIN’ What happened to the Waglan tide gauge? 横瀾島潮汐站現況如何？

It may not have escaped your notice, but the Waglan Island tide gauge on the Hong Kong Observatory's (HKO) weather page has been “under maintenance” for the last three years.

So I decided to contact the HKO to find out what the problem was and how long it usually takes to repair a tide gauge. Fortunately, their reply was a lot swifter than the repair.

By Paul Arkwright

根據香港天文台天網頁上的資訊，橫瀾島潮汐站在過去三年一直處於維修階段，所以我決定聯 繫香港天文台，想知道原因為何，以及是次維修工程需時多久。慶幸的是，他們給予回覆的速 度比維修要快得多。 該潮汐站位於橫瀾島橫瀾碼頭，負責測量潮汐，橫瀾碼頭是海事處轄下的政府碼頭。不幸的 是，該碼頭在2018年9月遭超級颱風「山竹」嚴重侵襲，對應天文台所說：「潮汐站和相關設 施在遭颱風吹襲期間被損壞。」 三年過去了，海事處終於在2021年8月2日發出海事工程公告，詳細說明橫瀾島碼頭的重建工

The tide gauge in question provides tidal measurements on Waglan Island at the Waglan Pier, a government pier maintained by Marine Department (MD). Unfortunately, the pier was severely damaged by Super Typhoon Mangkhut in September 2018 … and as the Observatory put it, “The tide station and related facilities were devastated during the strike.”

程。根據公告所說，重建工程預計需時8個月，即至2022年3月。該公告詳列以下橫瀾島區域 ((WGS84基準面)由 A 至 D 段及鄰近海岸線進行的重建工程：

Fast forward almost three years, and on 2 August 2021, MD issued a Marine Works Notice detailing the reconstruction of the Pier at Waglan Island, which is scheduled to take another eight months, which takes us to March 2022. The notice details the reconstruction works at the Island at the following location (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (D) and the adjacent shoreline:

(A) 22° 10.934’ N 114° 18.126’ E (B) 22° 10.994’ N 114° 18.078’ E (C) 22° 11.066’ N 114° 18.179’ E (D) 22° 11.012’ N 114° 18.223’ E Image courtesy of Marine Department

54

According to the MD notice, works will be carried out using one dumb lighter (aka barge) and one workboat, with one tugboat assisting. A working area of approximately 15 metres around the lighter will be established. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the positions of the anchors extending from the lighter.

根據海事處通知，工程將使用一艘躉船（非自航

A silt curtain, extending from the sea surface to the seabed, will be established within the works area. The silt curtain is a large piece of netting used to contain mud and sediment. Yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid to mark the extent of the silt curtain.

在作業區域內，將設置由海面延伸至海床的泥屏

The hours of work will be from 0700 to 1900 hours, with no works carried out on Sundays and public holidays. Vessels employed for the works will stay in the works area outside the hours of work. Diving operations will also be carried out from time to time during the hours of work.

工作時間為上午七時至下午九時，星期日及公眾

Vessels engaged in the operations will display signals as prescribed in international and local regulations. Vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and keep clear of the works area at slow speed, bearing in mind that divers are working in the area.

負責工程的船隻將展示國際通用和當地國際信號

Finally, after the pier’s reconstruction, a new set of tide gauges will be installed and resume the tidal measurement at Waglan Island.

最後，在碼頭重建工程完成後，當局會購置新的

駁船）、一艘工作艇和一艘拖輪。將在非自航駁 船周圍圈出一個約15米的作業區域。該區域將設 置黃色閃爍燈的浮標，以標示從非自航駁船到錨 的大概位置。

障。泥屏障是一種用來容納淤泥和沉積物的大 網。該區域將設置黃色閃爍燈的浮標，以標示泥 屏障的範圍。

假期休息。在非工作時間期間，負責工程的人員 所使用的船隻將停在作業區域內。工作人員在工 作時間內會不時進行潛水作業。

旗。在附近航行的船隻應小心行事，並以慢速遠 離作業區域，同時應留意周圍是否有人員正在該 區域潛水作業。

氣象儀器，恢復橫瀾島的進行天氣監測工作。

GWEILLOS IN THE HOUSE at the Sai Kung District National Day Reception in celebration of the 72nd Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China

By Paul Arkwright

Gweillo 賀國慶 參與西貢區慶祝中華人民共和國成立七十二周年酒會有感 As I gingerly stepped into the Sai Kung Jockey Club Town Hall on 29 September, to attend HHYC’s formal invitation to celebrate the 72nd birthday of the People’s Republic of China, the traditional dragon dance had just begun to welcome everyone to the event. It was unlike previous District Council events I had been to, in that everyone was standing and masked rather than seated and chatting around tables. Out in force, the ushers held up signs to remind everyone to keep wearing their masks throughout the event. I mopped the sweat from my brow and purposefully settled in a spot directly below a big air-con vent to help cool me down as I had just rushed over sporting my HHYC blazer—not such a clever idea when it was 32 degrees in the shade.

在9 月 29 日，當我小心翼 翼地踏入西貢賽馬會大會 堂，代表白沙灣遊艇會慶祝 中華人民共和國 72 歲周年 酒會，會堂內已開始舞龍舞 獅的表演。這與我在疫情前 參加過的區議會活動不同， 因疫情關係，每個人都戴著 口罩站著，不能坐下聊天。 在現場，工作人員舉牌提醒 大家在活動期間必須佩戴口 罩。從另一處趕來現場的 我滿頭大汗，趕緊找一個冷 氣較大的地方坐下，因為當 天酷日高照，氣溫高達32 度，我還身著本會的西裝外

The cymbals and drums of the dragon dance were followed by a performance from a local school choir, which, from the bits I could understand, featured song about all the different villages and communities that make up Sai Kung. Then came the serious bit, delegates and dignitaries were asked to face the screen (including those standing on the stage) so we could look at the Chinese flag as a mark of respect as the national anthem was played a full volume. There followed a couple of pleasantly short speeches welcoming everyone for coming and a few other bits I did not quite catch—as by then, I was at the limit of my Cantonese skills.

套趕去活動現場。 在舞龍舞獅過後，便是本區 學校的合唱團的演出，他們 表演的歌曲內容圍繞關於 西貢不同村莊和社區。演出 結束後便是儀式，所有人包 括地區代表和區議會議員 面向台上的國旗（包括那些 站在舞台上的人），然後奏 國歌。儀式之後，便是地區 代表和區議會的歡迎致辭， 當中有些內容因粵語水平有 限，未能完全理解。

As the dignitaries lined up on the stage and popped a string full of red balloons to reveal five bright red and gold Chinese banners that read: 昌盛富強 (thriving and prosperous), 繁榮安 定 (flourishing and stable), 國運昌隆 (rising and invigorating), 物阜民康 (abundant and healthy), 欣欣向榮 (booming and growing). I thought briefly about Nena and her 99 from the 80s. Then, I came back to the future again.

After the speeches were done, I felt compelled to go and do the rounds and say hello to a few people—after all, I’d put my posh HHYC blazer on, complete with a China flag pin that Fansy helped me source especially for the event.

And, thinking I was the only Gweillo in the room, I soon accidentally stumbled upon Nigel Williams, Divisional Commander for Marine East Division of the HKPF. Flanked by his colleagues, whom I imagined would form very suitable bodyguards, it was my first time to meet Nigel, who turned out to be a thoroughly great person. First, we chatted about his former postings and his current role in Marine, then measures to enhance marine safety and possible future appearances at HHYC for safety enhancement and educational activities. Then we were ushered over for a photoshoot, each holding a little Instagramstyle cut-out of various Sai Kung icons like the church in Yim Tim Tsai and the Tin Hau Temple. Finally, rather fittingly, I was given a boat to hold for my groupfie.

當地區代表和議員在舞台上排成一排，彈出一串裝滿紅色氣球的氣球時，出現了五個鮮 紅色和金色的中文橫幅，上面寫著：昌盛富強、繁榮安定、國運昌隆、物阜民康和欣欣 向榮；這讓我突然回到 80 年代，想起歌星 Nena 的 99 Red Balloons。 然後，我又回到了 現實。 致辭結束後，我在活動現場走動，想多和在場嘉賓交流。畢竟，我為這次的活動精心 打扮，又是西裝外套，又在胸前別上一枚國旗的胸針，感謝 Fansy 專門為這次活動幫 我找來的。 初時以為我是當日出席人士裡唯一的「Gweillo」，但之後眼角一瞥，竟看到香港警務處 水警東分區指揮官Nigel Williams也在現場。這是我第一次見到Nigel本人，他非常平易近 人，在我們短暫的交流中，聊了他以前的職位和他目前在水警東分區的角色，他亦提到 加強海事安全的措施以及未來會和遊艇會聯繫，舉辦安全和教育活動。之後拍大合照的 時候，我們每個人都拿著一個代表西貢的地標或物件，比如鹽田梓的聖若瑟小堂。而我 拿到的是一艘船，再合適不過了。

CLUB UPDATE

Fall is in the air. The past few weeks we’ve felt a distinct chill in the temperatures in Hong Kong as the northeast monsoon has brought in a refreshingly cooler change in seasons. Just in time, as the Monsoon Winter Series kicked off late in October.

The Monsoon weather brings with it the finest sailing weather in Hong Kong, however instead of looking forward, for just a moment, lets pause to reminisce.

Remember the good ol’ days? It must have been, oh I don’t know, a couple of years ago. Bear with me as I go down this nostalgic path but remember when we used to meet at The Garden Bar after racing, a chance to swap race stories, to thank the volunteers and acknowledge the race winners. I miss that very Hebe tradition.

We have continued to have a strong showing of race boats and volunteers to help run the races. As the pandemic unfolded, there were so many small, little issues that at the time seemed unmanageable. Can we use the slipway to launch boats?

How many racers could you have on board? 4? 8? Looking back, there were so many hurdles and somehow, despite it all, you still showed up on race day ready to go racing. We have also continued to have new volunteers – new to Hebe and new to sailing - join us.

ADAM GLENDINNING Rear Commodore—Sailing

The good ol’ days, a chance to publicly say thank you to the volunteers and hand out race pennants. I miss those days and they will be back; hopefully soon! Thank you for reminiscing with me but in the meantime, we have racing to do in the Winter Monsoon series. I will see you on the start line and to the volunteers, a big thank you wave as we cross our respective finish lines.

秋天的脚步到来了。過去幾週東北季候風一掃酷熱，帶來乾燥、清爽的天氣。冬季 系列在也差不多約十月下旬開始，這種氣候條件於帆船比賽來說，再合適不過了。 這讓我不禁回想起以前這個時候。 還記得那些美好的日子嗎？大概是幾年前，我們常常在比賽後，和所有人在花園酒 吧慶功、感謝義工協助，和大家暢意交談。這個是白沙灣遊艇會的傳統，一提起便 讓人懷念不已。 這些日子以來，我們得到許多義工的熱心支持，協助賽事。因遵循防疫措施，許 多細微末節都需要兼顧：我們能使用這條船排讓船下水嗎？船上能負載多少人？4 個？還是8個？回顧過去，即便面臨種種障礙，大家排除萬難，於比賽當天現身， 務求比賽順利舉行。我們陸陸續續有許多新義工加入，對此我們非常高興。 過往美好的回憶歷歷在目，那些頒獎典禮、致謝義工的場面，我無比想念。希望很快 我們的生活能恢復以往。與此同時，冬季系列賽即將開展，希望到時候看到你們的身 影。當我們穿過各自的終點線時，也不妨和我們的義工們揮手示意，表示感謝。
