General Manager's Report

PAUL C. ARKWRIGHT General Manager We have had some beautiful days recently for getting out on the water, lots of sail racing kicking off again and it has been great to see the Garden Bar full of young sailors learning the ropes before they go off out on the water. We are also trialling extendable rain shades to help provide some coverage in poor weather conditions. Stop by and grab yourself one of our delicious freshly made sandwiches, wraps and nut bar combos as part of the Meals on Keels deal. You can also supersize your snack-pack-to-go with a six-pack of beers or a bottle of vino on ice in a yours-to-keep HHYC cooler bag.

Getting back to normal The social distancing regulations were relaxed on 19 May, which now means: • the Restaurant is open until 23:00 (last orders are 10.15 pm for food and 10.45 pm for drinks) • maximum eight people per table • Private functions in the inner restaurant can have a maximum of 30 people, and in the Restaurant 120 people, with 12 per table for banquets. • Guest policy is back to normal—each member account can sign in up to four guests.

Triple vax rules • From 31 May, members and visitors now have to be either triple vaccinated, or if within six months of their second jab—having booked their third dose, or be able to provide evidence of a medical exemption; to enter the Club.

Faster Club Wi-Fi From the beginning of June, we have upgraded the Club’s Wi-Fi, which is now five times faster than before, as we switched from our old wire cable to a swanky new fibre one.

Hebe Golf Society Following the reopening of golf courses in Hong Kong, the Hebe Golf Society has swung back into action with everyone back out on the beautiful greens of Kau Sai Chau. We have multiple flights booked throughout the year at the beautiful Kau Sai Chau courses. Simply scan the QR code at the end of the report if you would like to join us on the green and/or back at HHYC for a BBQ and a few sundowners. The next ones are on 23 August (Tuesday) and 22 September (Thursday).

Wonderful washrooms The lush new female and accessible washrooms should be online by the time you read this report, and we will then shift to renovating the male washrooms (so it will be the men’s turn to use the temporary washrooms). The new design and complete refit provide extra showers, loads more locker space, and a bright and modern feel throughout. Check out the beautiful artwork with images from around the Club when you visit the throne rooms. Both male and female washrooms come with baby changing stations and the female washroom also features a private changing room/nursing room—for those breastfeeding.

Speedier restaurant entry We have a new speedier scanner at the Restaurant entrance that also takes your temperature—allowing quicker and more reliable scans—with additional spot checks by front-of-house staff.

Masterplan Soon you will see some pits being dug in and around the Garden Bar to allow contractors to test the ground ahead of the build of the new access lift and Regatta Deck.

It is great to be back out on the water again and whatever the weather … happy sailing and happy clubbing.

最近我們在海上渡過了一些美好的時光，許多帆船比賽又重新開始了。 看到船員們坐滿花園酒吧，在出海前學習使用繩索，實在令人非常高興。 我們亦現正試用伸縮遮雨屏，希望能在惡劣天氣下多提供一些遮蔽的地 方。既然來到Meal on Keels ，不妨順道來一份我們剛做好的三明治、捲 餅和堅果條組合——您還可為零食包加碼，加配白沙灣遊艇會冰袋冰鎮 的六罐啤酒或一瓶 Vino。

回歸正常 社交距離限制已於5月19日放寬，即 • 餐廳將營業至23:00(最後點餐時間為晚上10:15，飲料為晚上10:45) • 最多8人一枱 • 餐廳內可以舉辦最多30人(85%)的私人活動，餐廳宴會可容納120 人，每枱12人。 • 訪客政策恢復正常──每個會員帳戶最多可登記4位訪客。

三劑疫苗規定 • 由5月31日起，會員和訪客必須已接種三劑疫苗，或是在第二劑接種 後6個月內——已預約了第三劑疫苗，或提供豁免醫療證明書—— 方能進入本會。

更快的會所Wi-Fi 我們已於6月初升級本會的 Wi-Fi，由原來的舊式數據線改為新型光纖線 路，網速比原來提升了五倍。

白沙灣高爾夫球會 香港的高爾夫球場重開後，大家一起回到滘西洲的青草地，白沙灣高 爾夫球會再次開始活動。我們在美麗的滘西洲為一整年安排了多場分 組賽事。只需掃描報告末的二維碼，就可以加入我們和/或回到白沙灣 遊艇會享受燒烤和日落。下次活動將於8月23日(星期二)及9月22日(星 期四)舉行。

別緻的洗手間 當您看到這份報告時，全新便利的女洗手間應該已開放使用了。然後我 們將接著翻新男洗手間(因此現在男士們得使用臨時洗手間了)。新的設 計和全面重新裝修提供額外的淋浴間，並有更多的儲物櫃空間，整體明 亮和摩登。當您進入洗手間時，可以欣賞到由本會環境照片製作的精美 藝術品。男洗手間和女洗手間均設有嬰兒尿布台，女洗手間更設有私人 更衣室/哺乳室，供女士餵哺母乳使用。

進入餐廳更快捷 我們在餐廳入口安裝了速度更快的新型掃描器，可以測量您的體溫，進 行更快、更可靠的掃描，並由前台職員進行額外的抽查。

主要計劃 不久之後您就會在花園酒吧內部和四周看到一些承包商在建造新的升 降機和帆船甲板前進行地面測試而挖掘的坑洞。

能再次出海真是太好了……無論天氣如何，祝您航海愉快，在遊艇會渡 過愉快時光。
