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. 30
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。
