Christina Weemaes-Lidman and guests—NYE Countdown Party Jelik 7 at Kowloon Cup

I am regularly reminded of the metaphor of the three-legged stool The three legs at the Club are the members, the staff, and the facilities. If we fail to manage just one of these legs then we fail in all three.

The last four years have been fraught with uncertainty and we have paid the price in a reduced cash flow. Steering the Club back on track financially has required considerable effort. There are signs that in the last month or so the Club has turned the corner following the relaxation of pandemic restrictions and the dropping of the mask mandate.

The Club is much more active on all fronts whether it be yacht racing, sailing development, infrastructure development, entertainment or membership development. (The downward trend for members is reversing and the Club is attracting many who are interested in the sports on offer as well as redressing the imbalance in ages.)

The coming six months is chock full of events and it is great to see the committees and the staff working together to make these events happen. The Chinese New Year Lion Dance was over-subscribed (with some extremely acrobatic lions) as was the long-awaited new members’ cocktail party coupled with awards recognising long serving members. After this I decided to put a table together for the Burns Night supper and it was a fantastic evening – to their credit the staff did not miss a beat! These three events bode well for the future and I am feeling extremely optimistic.

The big issues lurking in the background are the lease modification due in 2025, the renewal of the private recreational lease due in 2027. More imminent is the Budget for Financial Year Ending (FYE) 2024. So, it seems that a few words on these are warranted.

Renewal of the Private Recreational Lease.

The metaphor of the three-legged stool applies here as well. There are three categories that the Cultural, Sports and Tourism Bureau (CSTB) looks at – regularity compliance, liquidity, and “opening up” to Eligible Outside Bodies (EOB). Renewal can take years (in fact, experience suggests between six and nine years) and the outcome should not be taken lightly.

We are slowly but surely working towards regulatory compliance for staff accommodation and remedying other minor matters.

Liquidity means having the cash to meet commitments. The big unknown is the size of the Waiver Fee for the new lease; and the CSTB has offered to give a non-binding indication in 2023. Because of this unknown and the uncertainty surrounding renewal we need to generate more cash and then preserve it. Therefore, until there is clarity there should be no major development expenditure.

“Opening up” is a complex and evolving experience. There is a popular perception that opening up simply means letting members of the public use the Club’s facilities; when it actually means allowing EOBs (who might otherwise strain the Government’s resources) use the Club. There are complex definitions and detailed calculations which determine whether the Club will meet the criteria for renewing the lease.

Budget FYE 2024

We are nearing the end of the budget preparation for FYE 2024. The goal is to ensure the Development Capital Expenditure is minimal and that there is Capital Expenditure to maintain the operations as a going concern; and this constitutes the minimum cash from operations. The indications are that either fees for services increase or capital expenditure reduces—we will need to wait and see.

Enjoy your mask-free Club again!

DON JOHNSTON Commodore

我經常想到「三腳凳」這個比喻。本會的「三腳」指會員、員工、設施。只要任何一 隻凳腳管理不善，便會全部一齊跨倒。

過去四年充斥著種種未知之數，導致現金流轉減少。我們需更盡力讓本會的財務 重回正軌。隨著新冠肺炎限制逐漸放寬及口罩令取消，本會在過去一個多月來情 況開始稍有轉機。

本會也積極參與各項活動，例如遊艇比賽、航海發展、建設發展、娛樂及會員發 展等。(會員數量下降的趨勢也慢慢減緩，許多人開始對本會提供的運動感興趣， 不平衡的會員年齡層漸趨穩定。）

未來六個月的活動包羅萬有，很高興看到各委員會與員工攜手舉辦這些活動。無 論是農曆新年的舞獅表演（配上高難度雜技動作的醒獅），還是期待已久的新會 員雞尾酒會和表揚長期服務會員的獎項，都反應熱烈，參加者遠超預期。一連串 慶祝活動後，我還出席了十分精彩彭斯之夜晚宴；值得稱讚的是，各位員工為大 家安排一個美好的夜晚。這三項活動預示著一些好預兆，我對本會的將來感到 非常樂觀。

目前還有一些重要問題，就是 2025 年到期的租賃合約修訂，以及 2027 年到期的 私人遊樂場地租賃合約續約事宜。更迫在眉睫的是2024年財政年度預算。因此， 似乎有必要就這些說句話。

私人遊樂場地租賃合約續約事宜

「三腳凳」的比喻亦可應用於此。文化體育及旅遊局 (CSTB)主要關注三個類別： 合規性、流動性和對合格外部團體(EOB)「開放」。續約可能需要數年時間（從經 驗判斷大約六至九年)，這個結果不可輕視。

我們正在緩慢但穩定地努力實現員工住宿的合規性及補救其他小問題。

流動性表示需要透過現金保證。最大的未知數是新合約的豁免費用；文化體育及 旅遊局 (CSTB) 已經提出在 2023 年交出一個不具約束力的指示。基於這些未知 之數及續約的不確定性，我們需要增加現金來源，作為日後的儲備金。因此，在 情況明朗之前，不應該有重大的發展支出。

「開放」是一個既複雜又多變動的體驗。很多人認為，「開放」僅表示讓公眾使用 本會設施；這就等於允許合格外部團體(EOB)(否則可能使政府資源緊張)使用本 會。繁複的定義加上詳細的計算，將決定本會是否符合續約的條件。

2024 年財政年度預算案

我們即將完成 2024 年財政年度預算案。我們的目標是確保發展資本支出降到最 低，並且有資本支出來維持持續營運；這就構成最低的運營現金。數據顯示，要 達到目標就需要增加服務費，或減少資本支出，讓我們拭目以待。

請再次享受您的無口罩會所！

SONNY PAYNE Vice Commodore

The composition of the Planning and Works Committee (PWC) for 2023 was formally approved by the General Committee at its first meeting of 2023 and I am pleased to report that the PWC for 2023 comprises Inge Strompf-Jepsen, Chris Tidball, Mark Ashton, Frances Hurley along with myself as chair.

Inge and Chris have been instrumental in overseeing the design and implementation of the washroom refurbishment and the boat rack safety walkway projects over the past year and, going forward, their input on the Regatta Deck project is already proving to be invaluable. I am very grateful to them for agreeing to continue to serve on the PWC.

I am also very grateful that Mark and Frances—who many of you will already know— have agreed to join the PWC. Mark is a former commodore of the Club and the current Club Historian, as well as being an accomplished engineer and former general manager of Leighton Contractors in Hong Kong, and brings a wealth of knowledge and capability to the PWC. Frances is a current member of the General Committee and, as chair of the 24-Hour Race Committee, has overseen the implementation of two 24-Hour Charity Dinghy Race events over the past 2 years under very challenging conditions.

The conceptual design for the Regatta Deck (to support the lease modification application) and the existing marina piles are the main projects with which the PWC is currently dealing with. With regards to the Regatta Deck, the PWC resolved to press ahead with exploring a one-storey option and a two-storey option and to present these two options to members (through a Members Forum) once the architect (Matter) has developed a concept design for both, an estimate of construction cost and time line this can then be presented to members.

For the marina piles, the PWC has resolved to conduct a further risk analysis in light of the new design “extreme sea levels” set out in a recent amendment to the Port Works Design Manual—the primary code governing the design of marine structures in Hong Kong—before committing the Club to replacing the piles, which would be a substantial cost. I hope to be in a position to report on the conclusions of this risk analysis in my next report.

執行委員會在 2023 年第一次會議上正式通過了 2023 年規劃與工作委員會 (PWC) 的成 員組合。我很高興地向大家報告，2023 年 PWC 成員包括 Inge Strompf-Jepsen、Chris Tidball、Mark Ashton、Frances Hurley 以及擔任主席的我本人。

在過去的一年裡，Inge 和 Chris 在監督洗手間翻新和船架安全行人道項目的設計和決 策上發揮了重大幫助。期望他們繼續為多用途活動大樓 (Regatta Deck) 項目輸入寶貴 的意見。我非常感謝他們同意留任 PWC 委員一職。

我也非常感謝Mark和Frances(很多人應該已經知道)同意加入PWC。Mark是本會的前 會長和現任本會歷史專員，同時也是一位出色的工程師和香港禮頓建築的前總經理， 他為 PWC 帶來了豐富的知識和能量。 Frances 是執行委員會的現任成員。作為 24 小 時小艇賽委員會的前主席，在過去 2 年，極具挑戰性的條件下監督了兩次 24 小時慈善 小艇賽活動。

多用途活動大樓的概念設計（為支持申請續租）和現有的碼頭樁都是 PWC 目前正在著 手處理的主要項目。關於多用途活動大樓項目，PWC決定繼續探索加建一層或兩層的 方案，並在建築師（Matter）為這兩個方案制定了概念設計後，將這兩個方案提交給會 員（透過會員論壇），然後再向會員提交建築成本估算和時間表。

關於碼頭樁項目，PWC已決定根據最近修訂的《海港工程設計手冊》中的新設計「極端 情況下最高水位」進行進一步的風險分析，該手冊是指導香港海上洋結構設計的主要 規範。分析完成後，再讓俱樂部承諾更換樁基，這將是一筆不小的開支。我希望能夠在 下一份報告中公佈此項風險分析的結論。

PAUL C. ARKWRIGHT General Manager

Return to Hebe

It’s been heart-warming to see the start of the—albeit gradual—return to Hong Kong; with a slow but steady influx of both new members and some familiar far-too-longunseen friends returning to Hebe after we emerge from our COVID hibernation. The new member’s cocktail party on Friday 13 January proved to be a great success, this time combined with a much-needed catch-up on saying thank you and kudos to some of our longest-serving members on the same evening.

Magic in the mist

The Garden Bar was transformed into a beautiful engagement venue for David Choeng’s son and future daughter-in-law. Even the foggy, misty weather didn’t dampen spirits on that day and the F&B team had done an amazing job to make the place look magical. We could hear the tunes and laughter right from the fairway buoys as we made our way back to Hebe after day one of the Big Boat Monsoon Spring Cup 2023 which was held in Shelter Cove. The Spring Cup wasn’t so lucky on Sunday, as the fog continued to roll in, with the AP over H hoisted in the morning, and the race having to be abandoned later in the day.

Further greening Hebe

You might notice a few new planters around the General Office, which is the start of our herb garden, so we can grow our own herbs and use them in some specially prepared wholly-locally sourced dishes. This not only allows us to make the local pasture-to-plate dishes a reality (well local plant pots at least) to bring you super fresh produce, but it also helps us to further reduce our carbon footprint a bit by minimising the distances that food travels to reach the restaurant. Speaking of fresh, in case you didn’t notice your salad just got a whole lot crunchier and even cleaner as we switched over to hydroponic lettuces that are grown locally and healthier and greener as they are entirely organic and never exposed to any pesticides or chemicals.

Once we’ve used up our current stock of sugar sachets (there are a fair few to go yet), we will switch to sugar cubes in little pots—with sugar tongs for hygiene. This allows us to reduce unnecessary packaging waste.

The ESG Committee continues to work hand-in-hand with Marine Operations to look at converting our sampans to electric ones.

All these little steps over time continue to help lead the club in a greener and fresher direction.

Staff Annual Dinner

As a thank you to all our hardworking staff we have scheduled the Staff Annual Dinner on 28 February for all staff, with cover security staff on-site at all times.

Have a brilliant Easter, looking forward to seeing you all at the Club soon and hosting a shedload of fun member events throughout the year.

重返白沙灣

看到香港開始復甦（儘管步伐緩慢）著實令人振奮；新會員和久未謀面的老朋友都從 新冠肺炎的冬眠中醒來，逐漸回來白沙灣。復甦雖緩慢，但好在穩定。事實證明，1 月 13 日星期五的新成員迎新雞尾酒會極為成功，當晚，我們與部分服務時間最長的會員聊 起了大家的近況，還向他們表達了謝意和向他們致敬。

迷霧中的魔法

花園酒吧搖身一變，成為 David Choeng 的兒子和未來媳婦美麗的訂婚場地。即使當天 大霧瀰漫，但沒有影響到當時的氣氛；餐飲團隊為此精心安排，佈置出甜蜜夢幻的場 地。當天更是2023春季大船杯(Big Boat Monsoon Spring Cup 2023) 在白沙灣舉行的日 子。我們在比賽結束後返回白沙灣的途中可以聽到從訂婚派對傳來的歌聲和歡笑聲。 週日的賽事就沒那麼幸運了，大霧於早上繼續籠罩四周，H旗上方升起了代表比賽推遲 的 AP 旗，稍後更需要終止比賽。

進一步綠化白沙灣

大家可能會注意到，總辦公室的外圍添置了一些新盆栽。我們將會在此搭建香草園種 植香草，待香草收成後用於烹調百分百採用本地食材製成的特色美食。此舉能讓我們 把本地牧場生產的食材（或者最起碼會是本地農耕蔬菜）直送餐桌，讓大家能品嚐到 一級新鮮的農產品，而且能將食材運送至餐廳的距離降到最低，從而進一步減少碳足 跡。說到新鮮，不知道大家有否注意到，沙律變得更脆、更乾淨，這是因為我們改用本 地種植的水耕生菜，更健康環保而且完全有機，從無接觸過任何殺蟲劑或化學物質。

現有的砂糖包庫存用完後（還有相當多的糖包要用），我們將改用以小罐盛載方糖。出 於衛生考慮，餐廳將提供糖夾讓大家使用。這樣可以減少產生不必要的包裝廢物。

環境、社會及治理委員會 (ESG Committee) 繼續與海事部攜手合作，研究將現有的舢 板改為電動舢板。

長遠下去，這些小行動將繼續有助我們朝著更環保、更有機的方向發展。

員工年會

為感謝各員工過去一年的服務，我們為全體員工於 2 月 28 日安排了慶祝年會，於白沙 灣會所的保安服務如常。

祝大家度過一個精彩的復活節，期待在白沙灣見到大家，並在本年內舉辦一系列有趣 的會員活動。

KOWLOON CUP

With the winter monsoon affecting coastal areas of southern China, sailors were looking forward to a challenging islands course on Day 1 of the Kowloon Cup 2023. On the dock, aboard the committee boat, Hebe One, race officer Simon Jones and his assistants discussed wind readings sent in by the club’s reconnaissance team and considered various course options, including a geometric, if there was a risk of the wind dying later in the afternoon.

From the club, a bank of fog could be seen covering the entrance to Hebe Haven. Would this ‘burn off’ by the scheduled 1400 start?

As Hebe One sailed out into Port Shelter on Saturday, 14 January, there were genuine safety concerns as visibility was down to about 30 yards. Nevertheless, the sky above was blue so management was confident that conditions would improve. But, they didn’t and, at 1330, the AP flag was raised on the committee boat.

An hour later, with visibility improving, the RO announced Course 32 for all boats and began the countdown at 1430. At 1440, a fleet of 21 boats sailed away in just over 4 knots of northwesterly breeze, Talkinghead and Outrageous in the lead.

The course would take in a club mark, then a Port Shelter Mark laid in open water, then a port rounding of Trio Island, a starboard rounding of Table Island, a Cascade Bay Mark and finally a finish off Little Palm Beach. Covering 11 nautical miles, the RO calculated that most would be home by 1700. Turned out he was right.

But not before he decided to shorten course. Progress had been slow and a finish at Table Island made a lot of sense. So, Hebe One dropped anchor and it wasn’t long before the front runners were approaching the line under kite.

隨着冬季季侯風影響中國南 部沿海地區，航員都期待在 2023年九龍盃的首日迎來極 具挑戰性的環島航線。在碼 頭，賽事主任 Simon Jones 和助手團隊在司令船Hebe One上討論著本會偵察團隊發 送的風速讀數，並考慮了如 下午稍後時間風勢減弱時的 各種航線選項，包括一條繞 泡航線。

從本會可見白沙灣的入口被一 片霧氣籠罩。比賽預定於 14:00 開始，霧氣能及時退散嗎？

在 1 月 14 日星期六，Hebe One 駛進牛尾海時，能見度驟降至 約30碼，確實帶來安全隱患。 然而，上方的天空蔚藍一片， 賽事管理團隊相信天氣會有所 改善。但可惜的是，霧氣並無 消散，於 13:30 時，司令船掛 起了 AP 旗。

1小時後，隨著能見度轉高，賽 事主任公布了讓所有船隻參與 32號航線賽事，並於14:30開 始倒數計時。14:40，21艘船隻 組成的船隊在只有4節西北風 的情況下出發，由Talkinghead 及 Outrageous 帶頭。

此航線由本會浮標賽至牛尾海 開放水域的浮標，然後兜過大 癩痢，右轉環繞平面洲及滘西 灣浮標，最後以小棕林作結。 全程覆蓋11海里，賽事主任預計 大多數船隻將於17:00前回來。 而事實證明他的預測準確。

但在他決定縮短航程之前。由 於航程進度緩慢，所以當時他 作出極合理的判斷，改以平面 洲為賽事終點。領先的選手們 在Hebe One下錨不久後陸續衝 線完成緊張的賽事。

RB with Cythia at the helm

Tommy Tang at the helm with crew on Jazz

Now this is where it gets interesting. Talkinghead and Minnie the Moocher both crossed at 16:06:21 but, the RO declared, Minnie was inches ahead and, thus, line honours went to Bridget Chan and crew. But Joe Leung and crew can be pleased that Talkinghead placed 2nd on handicap, ahead of Minnie and behind consistent performer, No One Else

In 4th place came Goddess with Maiyo Hood at the helm, and in 5th, the seniors on X-Terminator with Juliet Ashton calling the shots. Orca this time put in a controlled performance with Mark Houghton advising and Andrea Sangiorgi driving the big Hanse to a improved 8th place.

Last boat home was Coral Harbour at 16:56:56 while four boats – Saphira, Happy King, Scrumpy and Modesty Blaise – retired.

The forecast for Sunday, 15 January 2023, was Force 4 and even Force 6 at times, with the arrival of a cold front and temperatures as low as 11 degrees. The difference on Day 2 of the Kowloon Cup 2023 was that racing would be in ‘pursuit’ format. The course would take the 21 boats through Rocky Harbour to a ‘sausage course’ and, following as many laps as possible before a 1400 cut-off, a dash to the Yau Ley Seafood Restaurant for a prize-giving, all under the watchful eye of David Rule (aka Cabbage).

First away at 0956, in 5 knots of breeze, was Modesty Blaise, next Scrumpy, then Coral Harbour and, at 1022, Cynthia Law’s RB

At midday, things began to change. The temperature dropped and winds rose to 15 knots, with gusts of 23. Wild conditions for those doing their ‘sausages’ with the time limit fast approaching!

The finishing order for the second day of the Kowloon Cup 2023 was much changed. In 1st place came Orca, with the crew of Bits & Pieces on board and a confident Italian owner at the helm. Outrageous, with Collin Johnson at the helm and club General Manager, Paul Arkwright on main, placed 2nd, Manbude (ex-Kingsman) took 3rd with No One Else in 4th.

Regular high achievers took a beating, though. Talkinghead finished 7th, X-Terminator 10th, Minnie the Moocher 15th and Ichiban second to last. Saphira, again, retired.

此後情況愈來愈有趣。Talkinghead 和 Minnie the Moocher 同時在 16:06:21 衝線，但 賽事主任宣布 Minnie 領先數寸，此由 Bridget Chan 和她的船員獲得了勝利。但讓 Joe Leung 和他的船員感到安慰的是 Talkinghead 在讓分系統中排名第 2，領先於 Minnie， 僅落後於表現向來出色的 No One Else。

排名第 4 的是由 Maiyo Hood 掌舵的 Goddess，而第 5 位則由 X-Terminator 的資深船 員及掌舵的 Juliet Ashton 奪得。這次在 Mark Houghton 的指導下，Andrea Sangiorgi 駕駛著漢斯大帆船(Hanse) Orca 表現穩定，名次有所進步，獲得第 8 名。

最後一艘駛回的船隻 Coral Harbour 到達時間為 16:56:56 ，另外有 4 艘船退出了賽事， 當中包括 Saphira、Happy King、Scrumpy 和 Modesty Blaise。

2023 年 1 月 15 日星期日的天氣預報是風力 4 級甚至 6 級，加上冷鋒到來，氣溫跌至最 低 11 度。九龍盃 2023 的第二天賽事形式有所轉變，採取追逐賽形式。航線將帶領 21 艘船隻穿過糧船灣前往「香腸航線」，並在 14:00 前盡量駛出最多圈數，最後駛至有 利海鮮漁村參與頒獎禮，賽事由 David Rule (aka Cabbage) 全程監督。

首先在 09:56 於 5 節的微風下由 Modesty Blaise 先拔頭籌，接下來是 Scrumpy，然後 是 Coral Harbor，之後為 Cynthia Law 的 RB 於 10:22 出發。

到了正午，形勢開始有變。氣溫下降，而風速上升至 15 節，並有 23 節的陣風。在時 限將滿時，為參與追逐賽的船員帶來狂野的氣氛！

2023九龍盃第二天的完賽排名亦產生了巨大變化。首名衝線的是Orca，有來自Bits& Pieces 的船員登船，並由充滿自信的意大利船主掌舵。本會總經理 Paul C. Arkwright 登上 Outrageous 並奪得第 2 名， Manbude（前Kingsman）得第 3 名，No One Else 排名第 4。

一向成續優秀的參賽者均遭遇打擊。Talkinghead 以第 7 名完成賽事，X-Terminator 第 10 名；Minnie the Moocher 獲第 15 名；Ichiban 排名倒數第 2。Saphira 再度中途 退賽。

頒獎禮於 15:30 於有利海鮮漁村舉行。兩天賽事的全場總冠軍由 No One Else 奪得。老讀 者一定記得 No One Else 也曾於 2020 九龍盃中奪得全場總冠軍。第 1 名、第 2 名(Orca) 和第 3 名(Talkinghead) 獲頒發美酒和日曆，餐廳還送出了現金券。在 16:00 左右，隨著 氣溫轉冷，船員們都回到船上，為非常精彩的2023年九龍盃畫上完滿的句號。

The prize-giving at the famed Yau Ley Seafood Restaurant started at 1530. Overall winner of the two days’ racing was No One Else. Older readers will remember that No One Else also claimed overall victory in the Kowloon Cup 2020. Bottles of wine and calendars were awarded and Yau Ley restaurant issued vouchers to 1st, 2nd (Orca) and 3rd (Talkinghead ) places. Soon after 1600, with the cold beginning to bite, crews headed back to their boats and thus ended an enjoyable Kowloon Cup 2023. No One Else overall Winner Kowloon Cup 2023

A CRAZY COVID YEAR OF SAILING AKA MEETING HHYC MEMBERS ABROAD (PART 2)

疫情籠罩下的瘋狂出航年與白沙灣會員於海外相見

Continued from last issue……

Following our adventures detailled in the previous issue of Hebe Jebes, six weeks of hard work followed for us, before we were re-launched and fit to resume our sailing.

Scrubbing, replacing upholstery, servicing equipment and simply throwing a lot of stuff out. We missed our Christmas deadline, but were in time for our daughter Bonnie’s visit in Mid January and set off to explore the fantastic coastal scenery and beaches of Langkawi. It also became clear that all of Langkawi had suffered badly from the long period of isolation with severely restricted income for the small businesses. Hotels, restaurants and related services were all struggling to get back on their feet. The beaches and waterfalls we visited on this trip were virtually empty and only rarely did we see another yacht sailing. We sailed around the Langkawi archipelago, visiting the Marine Park of Palau Payer and saw Whale Sharks feeding in the plastic detritus laden water. Our favorites were the Eagle feeding anchorage at Tanjung Rhu and the dinghy trip from there through the maze of waterways which link through to Hole in the Wall. En route, we paddled in silence through the Crocodile Cave, but fortunately it was only only Bats and Swallows in residence.

Our theme of meeting Hebe members on our travels continued with the arrival from Hong Kong of Andy Kellow (Dragon Marine) who was berthed next door. ATÉ, and Andy and Kylie’s boat Ikaroa making up the HHYC Cruising Division in this part of the world! With such an eventful period there was a lot of Hong Kong news to catch up with. In our travels we were always being asked “What’s happening to Hong Kong Kong ?” as the picture in the international news was pretty bleak.

Our three-month visa for Malaysia was soon up and as we had hoped, Australia was finally coming to terms with Covid. We left for Sydney in early April and thanks again to the Hebe connection, we were soon hooked up to racing a Sydney 38 at Pittwater and a TP52 on Sydney Harbor with Past Commodore Peter Weiley.

Wait, but what about the new baby?

The focus of this article is a crazy year of sailing, so I won’t divert to family matters, except to include two photos of our son Rory, one 'driving' a Club sampan in his Clearwater Bay school uniform, under the watchful eye of the driver and the second with Marloe, a baby daughter of his own. As you can see, HHYC has been part of our lives for a very long time!

With a very rainy Autumn in Australia now moving into winter and Hong Kong still clinging on to its three-week hotel quarantine, it was again the time of year to head back to UK waters and that ancient trimaran for the summer. We did this via a three-week stopover in Langkawi where Hebe GenCom member Kay Patterson joined us for another circumnavigation of the islands, this time sailing in the SW season. The SW season proved to be better than we expected with short duration rain showers bringing a welcome cooling effect and mostly sunny conditions. We visited different anchorages in this season and found many new gems.

承接上一期

by Mark Ashton

在我們重新開始計劃並恢復出航前，我們刻苦努力地度過了 六個星期。

擦洗船隻、更換椅套、維修設備,而且棄掉了很多東西。我們 沒有趕上聖誕節的最後期限，但卻趕及在我們的女兒 Bonnie 於 1 月中旬來訪前完成相關工作，然後開始探索浮羅交怡的 美麗海岸風光和海灘。明顯的，浮羅交怡的所有地區均因受 長期孤立而蒙受嚴重損失，小企業的收入亦受嚴重限制。酒 店、餐廳和相關服務都在努力地重新站穩陣腳。我們在這次 旅行中遊覽的海灘和瀑布可謂荒無人煙，且很少看到另一艘 遊艇航行。我們在浮羅交怡羣島上航行，到訪芭雅島海洋岸 公園，看到鯨鯊在充斥著塑膠廢料的海水中覓食。我們最喜 歡的是丹絨魯的老鷹餵食錨地，以及由此出發，駛過連接至 Hole in the Wall 的迷宮水道。在路上，我們在鱷魚洞穴靜靜划 船。幸好，這裡只有蝙蝠和燕子居住。

我們未有忘記這次旅程的主題是與白沙灣遊艇會成員會面， 而來自香港的Andy Kellow(來自 Dragon Marine)亦已抵達，而 其船隻已在隔壁停泊。在這個地區，ATÉ 還有 Andy 與 Kylie 名為 Ikaroa 的船隻已構成白沙灣遊艇會的分支！在這樣充實 的日子裏，我們還要了解香港的眾多新聞。由於國際新聞中 看到的情況嚴峻，在旅程之中，我們總被問到「香港發生了 什麼事？」。

我們在馬來西亞的三個月簽證快要到期，而一如我們所盼 望，澳洲終於開始接受新冠肺炎。我們在四月初離開前往 悉尼，再次感謝白沙灣遊艇會的連結，我們很快便能在 Pittwater 參與 Sydney 38 競賽。不僅如此，我們更與船隊隊 長 Peter Weiley 在於悉尼海港舉行的 TP52 比賽碰頭。

等一下，我們的新生寶寶又怎麼樣？

這篇文章的重點是瘋狂出航年，所以我不會把話題轉移到家 事上，不過這兒也載有兩張兒子 Rory 的照片，一張是他穿着 清水灣小學制服在駕駛員的看顧下駕駛郵艇會的一艘舢舨， 另一張則是他與「女兒」Marloe的合照。如你所見，白沙灣 遊艇會很久以前已成為我們生活的一部分！

今年秋季，澳洲下著滂沱大雨，而現在已步入冬季。而香港 仍需三星期酒店隔離，所以我們又一年一度回到英國水域， 並在夏天駕駛古老的三體帆船。途中，我們在浮羅交怡停留 了 3 星期，而白沙灣遊艇會 GenCom 成員 Kay Patterson 也 與我們一起在西南季候風中環島航行。事實證明，西南季候 風帶來的效果比我們預期的好，大部分時間都陽光普照，而 短暫的細雨更帶來教人沁人心脾的冷卻效果。我們在這個季 節參觀了不同錨點，發現了許多滄海遺珠。

We lifted ATÉ onto a slot on the Rebak hardstand at the end of June, this time we hope for a much shorter break until our next visit! The UK turned on for a lovely Summer in ‘22 with easterly breezes and a mini heatwave. Travel restrictions had been dropped completely and It was delightful to be out of the all pervasive grip of Covid, like taking off a heavy rucksack after a long walk.

A highlight for us was a cruise to Normandy to see the beautiful French countryside and harbour towns. St. Vaast, Bayeux and Honfleur being our favorites. The tidal cycle rules all on this coast, due to powerful streams and the fact that many of the harbours are locked a few hours either side of HW. This calls for careful passage planning at all times. Sailing is popular in France and we found the customs procedures simple (in spite of Brexit) and prices for berthing is low by UK standards. Our passage back to Poole from Le Havre on the Seine River was just in time to beat a weather change back to the more seasonal rough weather and as it was we had the rail pressed to keep speed ahead of the predicted shift to head winds. The Channel was busy with shipping which kept us alert, but navigation was simplified by the fact that we could see the lights on the huge TV ariels on the Isle of Wight from just off the French coast.

Back in the UK in late September, good news finally arrived from Hong Kong in the shape of what is known here as “0+3”, just in time for the 24 Hour Charity Dinghy Race. This was our green light to get back to our home after 15 largely unplanned months. We arrived in time to rejoin Bob and Lesley on the X99 XTerminator for the Port Shelter Regatta, on a beautiful weekend of sunshine and nice breeze.

A better welcome we couldn't have imagined and it was lovely to be sailing again in home waters and amongst a fleet of friends!

我們在六月底將ATÉ停泊 在瑞巴克島，希望在下次 出航前有個較短的休息時 間！2022年，英國展開 了一個明媚宜人的可愛夏 天，吹送柔和東風，還有 微微熱浪。旅遊限制已經 完全取消，我們很高興能 夠擺脫新冠病毒無所不在 的制肘，那種興奮感覺恍 如在長途跋涉後放下沉重 背包一樣教人愉快。

我們的行程重點是乘船遊 覽諾曼第，欣賞美麗的法 國鄉村和海港小鎮。St. Vaast、Bayeux 和 Honfleur 是我們的最愛。由於水流 強勁，HW兩側的許多港 口都關閉了幾個小時。我 們因此需要仔細規劃行 程航道。帆船運動在法國 深受歡迎，我們發現海關 程序很簡單(除了Brexit以 外)，而且停泊費用比英國 相對便宜。我們在塞納河 由 Le Havre 回 Poole 的航程 正好規避了天氣變化，我 們全速前進，在風向轉為 逆風前一馬當先，才能免 受季節性的惡劣天氣所影 響。海峽正因為運輸而繁 忙起來，我們得時刻保持 警覺，但由於我們可以從 法國海岸附近看到威特島 上的大型電視天線上的燈 光，因此導航得到了簡化。

我們在九月下旬返回英 國，而香港亦終於傳來了 好消息，就是所謂「0+3 」的安排，這樣我們正好 能趕及參與 24 小時慈善小 艇比賽。在經歷大部分時 間均沒有任何計劃的 15 個 月後，我們終於能回家。

我們趕及在一個陽光普照 且微風送爽的美麗周末加

入 Bob 和 Lesley，駕駛X99 Xterminator 參加 牛尾海 帆船賽。

我們無法想象更溫暖的歡 迎方式，因為在「自家」 水域與友好團隊並肩航行 是很棒的！

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM

浮游廢物

With the Festive seasons of Christmas and New Year and the year of the Tiger, well behind us, it’s time to look ahead for the Spring series and the business of bringing our boats up to specification for another busy season of sailing.

2023 brings in the year of the Rabbit and more specifically, the Water Rabbit, so its incumbent on the sailors amongst us to heed some of the protocols that this water zodiac might bring. Rabbits need a strong social net and a reliable but solid circle of friends, friends good enough to proffer up sound advice and tactics. Might this mean addressing our racing with greater gusto than the Tiger offered? Better strategies at the start line and in our respective classes and maybe greater efforts to get both our newer members and youth sailors into Race management? This will also be the time to clean those winter hulls, cut and polish the topsides and even a thorough check of all the shackles, pins and blocks. Halyards to renew, winches to service and sheets to replace?

On the cruising side, the CSOH have been an active mob, with a Boxing Day sail out to Yau Ley. To say this was a "tribal" event is rather an understatement with crews of a dozen boats, GPS marker clues, signature songs and fender dressing, the day was a total blast. Crews wore pyjamas,( thank you to Harvey and mob), to Santa outfits and of course the inimitable Santa hat, that like the Rabbit in our new Zodiac, appeared to replicate all over Yau Ley's festive tables. The grog flowed and it’s true to say, the flag of the 193 is definitely gaining traction for the year ahead.

Depending on where your boat is berthed will pretty much dictate the amount of foul on your hull. In the Hebe basin, there are three predominant areas that marine bio mass tends to propagate:

1. East of the Southerly Cardinal Buoy

2. The HHYC Marina

3. South of the South Dock to the PSW Public Pier.

All three areas are common to what I call, the "significant two". Tube Worms, (Hydroides elegans) and the Acorn Barnacle, (Balanus glandula). Barnacles and worms constitute the mainstream of most of the fouling we see at Hebe and in area 1, both species are prolific. The land water run-off in the rainy season and the location of the neck towards Trio, creates an almost perfect water mass for these two species to do the most damage to our hulls. The key to trigger the free floating larvae that represent the barnacle and the tube worm, are the bacterial layers that build up on the hull, often seen as a green slime just below the water line. Much like land fertilisers, nitrate run off into a febrile marine environment, encourages a bedding layer on solid surfaces that larval stages of oysters, barnacles and tube worms can adhere to. Interestingly, Nam Wat was at one time an area of intense oyster farming, indicating how fertile the shallow water sand beds are to Hebe Haven. This of course is little help to the business of stretching our antifoul windows but none the less, remains a barometer to the water quality index.

在歡度聖誕與新年後，我們已歡送虎年，現在是時 候展望春季活動，並把船隊引領至另一個繁忙的航 行季節。

2023年迎來了兔年（更準確的話是水兔)，因此我 們當中的水手有責任注意這種屬性為水的生肖可 能帶來甚麼啟示。兔子需要強大的社交網絡和穩 固可靠的朋友圈以提供合理的建議和策略。這是 否意味着與虎年相比，我們能為賽事注入更多熱 情？不論是賽事還是課程，我們均有更佳策略， 也許應貫注更多努力把新成員和青年水手加入 競賽管理行列？這也許是時候清潔冬日的船身、 打磨和拋光船面，甚至徹底檢查所有鉤環、釘子 和擋板。升帆索是否需要更換、絞盤是否需要維 修、帆腳索是否需要更換？

在出航方面，CSOH一直是活躍的組織，並它在節禮 日航行至有利漁村。當時共有十幾艘船參與，還有 GPS線索標記、經典金曲和護舷裝飾大賽，可謂聲勢 浩大，若說這只是一場「小圈子」活動實在是謙遜 之辭。工作人員都穿上睡衣(感謝 Harvey 和 mob)、 聖誕老人服裝，當然還有獨特的聖誕老人帽子(就像 十二生肖中的兔子)，有利漁村充滿喜慶氣息的桌子 上坐無虛席。這感覺很棒，我們可以說，193 的旗幟

在未來一年裏肯定會穩步發展。

您的船隻停泊地點幾乎能決定船身上的髒污程度。

在白沙灣，海洋生物會在三個主要區域大量繁殖。

1. 南方航標的東方

2. 白沙灣遊艇會船塢

3. 白沙灣公眾碼頭南方船塢以南。

在這三個區域，我稱為「最重要的兩種生物」均 不難發現。管蟲、(盤管蟲屬，優雅）以及橡子藤 壺。在白沙灣和第一區，藤壺和蟲子是我們所見到 的大部分主流生物，且兩者的物種均相當豐富。在 雨季，陸地水量流向三個地區，為這兩種生物創造 了幾乎完美的水量，使我們的船體嚴重受到破壞。

代表藤壺和管蟲的自由浮動幼蟲所以大量出現，其 關鍵是於船體上形成的細菌層（通常被視為水下的 綠色黏膜）。與陸地肥料一樣，硝酸鹽會流入極活 躍的海洋環境，在堅實表面構成溫床，而生蠔、藤 壺和管蟲均能黏附在上面。有趣的是、麻籃笏曾經 是一片密集的生蠔養殖區，說明了白沙灣淺水沙床 有多肥沃。這當然對我們延展防污工作沒有甚麼幫 助，但儘管如此，這仍是水質指標。

A misnomer, is believing tube worms and barnacles are molluscs. They are not. The Acorn Barnacle is a type of shrimp that in the post larval stage, once its decided to adhere to your lovely clean, though slightly grimy spade rudder, locks its head onto the surface of choice and begins the process of settling in. This rather sardonic green slime needs attention as soon as you notice it. The trouble is once you or the appointed cleaner, ashore or submerged, wipes the hull back to anti foul , you will remove a thin layer of this paint and thus remove a percentage of its efficacy to address the whole matter of preventing foul build up. However, if the immediate post larval stage has been reached then the sticky head of the barnacle and its soft casing shell, will likely be removed. For the Tube Worm, matters are a little different. The mineral tubes that each worm, or more accurately, a bristle worm creates, can often be found in sea cock outlets, vents, teeth gearings of props and bearings. They are difficult to clear until they have reached considerable mass. Propeller blades can often encourage, (through sitting on swing moorings for over a year), massive colonies of these worms rendering the whole propeller utterly useless. Their calcium tubes, though easy to remove off smooth surfaces provide a marine bio infrastructure in itself. Whole colonies of shrimp. crabs and demersal fish will thrive once the worm has established itself and other than a sharp scrapper, there are few predators that threaten it. Some species of Wrasse will feed on the fleshy protrusions and bristles of the worms but this is a canny Polychaeta and once alerted, rapidly returns to its calcified tunnel and ultimately, protection.

The Acorn Barnacle, with a lifespan of 8 to 10 years is actually edible, along with the Gooseneck Barnacle but at just less than 1cm across the casing, will be a pretty hard extraction to savour, much like eating a periwinkle.

Area 2 seems to be tube worm country and with a high agree of electrical leakage from the dock areas, appears to limit much of the growth of the Acorn Barnacle. A good area for a marine Biology Phd student here.

Area 3 is definitely tube worm heaven. Water movement is limited to tidal flushing and surface action from boat craft. Sub surface, the benthos or seabed, is largely a mix of shale and mud and with tidal shifting, seabed agitation can be ideal to encourage the "business" of tube worm activity from the floating larval stage to the phase that triggers adherence via enzyme release, to your hulls.

So, short of using extremely toxic paints, anti foul mixed with chilli? Or introducing our venerable Wrasse in larger numbers, or indeed eating our little Acorns, there is little we can do other than stick to the traditional aspects of painting below the waterline, scraping and power washing. From tube worms to hard-cased barnacles, its the annual haul out and the 12 month repeat. Wherever you berth in the long term, keep Flotsam and Jetsam aware after you haul out, what of these two bio hooligans you find and just maybe, what one of them might taste like!

謠傳管蟲和藤壺是軟體動物。但它們不是。藤壺是一種已結 束幼體階段的蝦，一旦決定黏附到您已細心清潔但卻有少 許骯髒的船舵上，它便會將頭鎖在選擇的表面上，並安頓下 來。如果發現這種較為鮮明的綠色黏性物質，則需要立即注 意。問題是不論是在岸上或水中，一旦你或指定清潔人員將 船體擦至防污狀態，你將會清除一層薄薄的油漆，從而消除 其處理整個防止污物堆積的效力。但是，如果這種生物已達 到了幼體結束後的階段，則很可能會因為藤壺的黏性頭部及 其軟殼而能將其輕易移除。管蟲又是另一回事。每條蟲（或 更準確地說是剛毛蟲）製造的礦物油管，通常可以在船身上 的海底閥出口、通風口、螺旋槳和啤令的齒輪中找到。在繁 殖至一定數量前，牠們是很難清除的。螺旋槳槳葉通常會鼓 勵（通過在繫泊設備上存放超過一年）這些蠕蟲大量繁殖， 使整個螺旋槳報廢。牠們的鈣管雖然容易從平滑表面上清 除，但卻為其他海洋生物的生長提供了基礎設施。一旦蠕蟲 站穩陣腳，蝦群、螃蟹和底棲魚就會隨之繁衍。除了鋒利的 刮刀外，僅有很少的獵食者能威脅牠。部分品種的隆頭魚會 以蟲子突出的鮮肉或刷毛為食糧，但這生物是一種機靈的多 毛綱，一旦注意到危險，就會迅速縮回其經鈣化的管道並取 得最佳保護。

壽命長達 8 到10 年的橡子藤壺其實可供食用，牠通常與狗爪 螺一起食用，但連同殼子僅為不到 1 公分大小，就像是吃濱 螺一樣，相當難拔出品嚐。

第 2 區似乎是管蟲國度，且碼頭區的電力洩漏情形相當嚴 重，似乎限制了大部分橡子藤壺的成長。這是一個很適合海 洋生物博士生的地方。

第 3 區絕對是管蟲天堂。海水流動僅限於潮汐變化和船隻在 海面航行而造成。海底、底棲或海牀基本上是頁岩和泥的混 合體，加上潮汐變化，海牀構成對管蟲活動而言極為理想， 不論是從漂浮的幼蟲階段，到出現黏性，以至向船體發放 酶，均是理想之地。

不想使用毒性極強的油漆、混合辣椒的抗污劑？那你或可大 量引入我們值得尊敬的隆頭魚，又或者是把小小的橡子藤 壺都吃掉。否則，除了堅持在水下油油、刮擦和高壓清洗之 外，我們幾乎沒有甚麼可以做的事。不論是管蟲還是硬殼 藤壺，船隻每年都要上岸維修一次，然後12個月的周期又重 覆。不管你長期在哪裡停泊，在你上岸維修之後，都要留意 Flotsam and Jetsam，如果發現這兩種流氓生物……你也可 以品嘗一下牠們其中一個的味道如何！

安全簡報 SAFETY BRIEFING

Crew briefing and safety on board

For all boats and crews, it is imperative to know how to avoid accidents and how to react if anything does not go according to plan. Part of that process is knowing how to use the safety equipment provided on each boat and as the case may be, additionally ashore. Every boat should be assessed using a format driven by a STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, (SOP). These SOP's are described below and are not exclusive. However they provide each crew and skipper with a basis, from which threats can be interrogated, assessed, risk valued and then acted upon.

Ultimately, crew safety is an absolute and is paramount to the successful operation of every boat, inclusive of crew and the systems that depend on its functionality. This will involve an improved knowledge base from which a threat analysis can be processed for each specific boat. The responsibility for boat safety lies ultimately with the Skipper and his or her leadership. Every crew member has the authority under the direction of Command, to functionally lead as required and in accordance with additional experience that may not be garnered by the appointed Skipper.

An example of this might include a crew member on trapeze who may have better forward visibility than the authorised skipper on helm. To avoid collisions, that crew member can direct the helm accordingly by functionally leading. “Turn to starboard to avoid."

Where SOP's have been formally laid out by The Club, there are fluid processes that should be applied additionally, both to enhance the operation specifically and to adapt the functionality of that operation if a positive threat exists. This process will involve assessing each decision problematically by clarifying if each decision or judgement has merit.

Two systems are considered in this briefing that should provide tools to assess problem management, risk review and decision control.

Problem management and the "CLEAR "model

C—Clarify the problem. Does a problem actually exist? Confirm with crew.

L—Look for solutions. Brainstorm with crew or shore based personnel.

Prioritise these potential solutions.

E—Evaluate the better or best solution to employ.

A—Activate the process or processes the above has realised.

R—Review, recycle the model then close as necessary.

Use the 'Fire Triangle' analogy—DNA Desire? Need? Appropriate?

The DNA model is a decision making tool and depends on the triangle being complete. If the triangle remains broken then there remains an argument for NOT making this particular decision.

An example for this model may include the need to anchor on a gusty lee shore with no engine available. Is there a desire? Possibly. Is there a need? Possibly. Is it appropriate? NO. Thus the triangle remains incomplete and the decision to anchor elsewhere may be made.

船員簡報和船上安全。

by Stu Pryke

為保障所有船隻和船員安全，我們必須知道如何避免事 故，以及在任何事情不按計劃發生時該如何作出反應。此 過程的一部分是了解如何使用每艘船上提供的安全設備。 此外，也有在岸上使用相關設備的可能。

每艘船均應透過標準作業程序 (SOP) 所驅動的格式來評估。

這些 SOP 說明如下、但它們並非唯一方案。但是，它們爲每 個船長及船員提供了一個基礎以就威脅作出訊問、評估，然 後評估相關風險並採取行動。

船員安全始終是不容疏失的。不論是船員還是依賴其功能 的系統，船員安全對每艘船的成功操作而言至關重要。這 將涉及一個經改良的知識庫，由此我們能就每艘特定船隻 進行威脅分析。船長及其領導層應為負責船隻安全負上全 責。每位船員都有權在指令的引導下，在指定船長可能 不具備相關額外經驗的情況下，根據需要在職能上作出領 導。

例如：高空鞦韆上的船員可能比掌舵的受委託船長擁有更 佳的前方能見度。爲避免碰撞，該船員或能相應地在功能 上指導掌舵者。「轉到右舷以避免碰撞。」

若 SOP 已由遊艇會正式發布，則應另外套用流暢程序以加 強特定作業，並在有正面威脅時調整該作業的功能。此程 序將涉及解釋每項決定或判決是否有好處，從而評估每項 決定的問題。

本次簡報會將兩個系統納入考量，提供評估問題管理、風 險審查和決策控制的工具。

問題管理和「CLEAR」模式

C—釐清問題。問題是否確實存在？與船員確認。

L—尋求解決辦法。與船員或岸上的工作人員討論方案。 為這些潛在解決方案排定優次。

E—評估要採用的較佳或最佳解決方案。

A—實踐上述流程或程序。

R—檢視、再次利用「CLEAR」模式，然後按需要將其結案。

使用「火三角」作類比—D. N.A. 渴望？需要？合適？

DNA模式是一種決策工具，取決於完成的三角形。如果三角 形仍未閉合，則仍有理由不作出這一特定決定。

此模式的一個例子可能包括需要在沒有可用引擎的情況下 冒着強列陣風於下風岸上錨定。有否渴望？可能。有需要 嗎？可能。是否合適？不。因此，三角形仍然不完整，可 以作出將其錨定在其他地方的決定。

This safety briefing addresses the following criteria:

• Lifejackets & harnesses

• Safety & lifelines

• Fire extinguishers

• Flares & EPIRB

• VHF radio

• First aid kit

• Man overboard

• Life raft

• Galley

• Heads

• Garbage

• Engine

• Bilge

• Deckware

• Crew welfare

On all sailing boats and RIB's, each crew member will possess a PLJ, (personal lifejacket). All rib crew members should wear their PLJ at all times.

Sailing crew will wear their PLJ under the following conditions:

• At all times if a non-swimmer.

• At night and in heavy weather during daylight hours, (F5 and above).

• In reduced visibility, when horizontal distance is less than 1000m.

• At the Skipper's request.

• At any time the crew member desires, notwithstanding the above.

Safety lines

The use of safety lines is mandated for all excursions from the cockpit at night and during the day in conditions greater than F5. The clip on should be made on jackstays, shrouds or D rings but NEVER guard rails, hand holds and stanchions. In the case of very heavy weather with decks awash, reconsider the need to leave the cockpit. If an excursion is required then consider doubling up the safety lines and placing a safety carabiner at both ends of the line. Always advise other crew when departing the cockpit and pre discuss the tactics for action on deck, e.g., keeping the centre of body gravity low, slippery areas on deck, use of goggles in heavy spray etc.

Fire extinguishers

All fire extinguishers must be in date and fit for purpose. Their detachment from grab points, use and purpose must be fully understood by crew BEFORE use.

All crew must be aware if fire extinguishers are dry powder, BCF or H2O and location of additional units and fire blanket

Flares & EPIRB

The rules for using flares are:

• Orange smoke: daylight use only for position and pin pointing.

• White: preventing collision at sea.

• Red parachute flares: long range distress signalling.

• Laser flares: as above but caution for blinding of personnel.

Crews must know prior to slipping; the location, how to use flare and number on board. All EPIRBS will activate on 406 MHz and some on 121.5 MHz though since 2009, most will process alerts via a complex satellite system. Crews must know where the main EPIRB for the vessel is located and does it have an auto alert function? Be familiar with its mode of operation, Cat 1 or 2?

本安全簡介側重下列標準：

• 救生衣和安全帶

• 安全與救生索

• 滅火器

• 閃光訊號與應急指位無線電示標

• VHF 無線電

• 急救箱

• 拯救墜海人員

• 救生筏

• 廚房

• 廁所

• 垃圾

• 引擎

• 艙底

• 帆船設備

• 船員福利

在所有帆船和剛性充氣船上，每位船員都擁有 PLJ（個人救生 衣)。所有剛性充氣船上的船員都應隨時穿上 PLJ。

帆船船員將在下列情況下穿上 PLJ：

• 如果不諳泳術者，則應則隨時穿上。

• 夜間和天氣較為陰沉的日間（F5 或以上）。

• 可視性降低，水平距離少於 1000 米時。

• 根據船長的要求。

• 無論上述情況如何，只要船員願意就能隨時穿上。

安全繩 在高於 F5 的夜間和日間，所有從駕駛艙出發的短途旅程都必須 使用安全繩。固定夾應用於撐杆、護罩或D形環扣，但不得用 於欄杆、手持和支柱。如果天氣非常惡劣，且海浪衝上甲板， 請重新考慮是否需要離開駕駛艙。如果需要短途旅程，請考慮 加倍使用安全繩，並在線路兩端放置安全鉤。如要離開駕駛 艙，請務必告知其他船員，並預先討論在甲板上採取行動的策 略，例如保持身體重心偏低、甲板上濕滑區域、在海浪衝擊嚴 重時使用護目鏡等。

滅火器 所有滅火器都必須在有效日期內，並且適合使用。在使用前， 船員必須完全了解如何提取，其用途和目的。

所有船員都必須注意滅火器爲乾粉、BCF 還是 H2O，以及其他 裝置和滅火毯的位置

閃光訊號與應急指位無線電示標 使用閃光訊號的規則是：

• 橙色煙霧：僅在白天使用，用於描述定位。

• 白色：防止在海上碰撞。

• 紅色降落傘：長距遇險訊號。

• 鐳射閃光：如上所述，但請留意可能對人員致盲。 船員在移出正確位置前必需知道；位置、如何使用閃光訊號和船 上的號碼。自 2009 年以來，所有EPIRBS 將在 406 MHz 上啟動， 有些則在 121.5 MHz 上啟動，但大多數將透過複雜的衛星系統處 理警報。船員必須知道該船隻的主要 EPIRBS 位於何處，且是否 具備自動警示功能？熟悉其操作模式，它屬第 1 類還是第 2 類？

VHF radio

As long as one crew member is a licensed VHF radio operator, then any member of the crew can use either a mobile VHF or the vessel's fixed VHF radio. Familiarity with use of CH16 and relevant local channels appropriate to your operation. Never use CH16 as a chat Channel. Is the radio DSC and does it have GPS? Know the system each radio possesses for activating a MAYDAY. At the Skippers briefing, revise with the crew, the methodology of PAN calls and MAYDAY. A MAYDAY should be broadcast at 25 watts and full power on CH16.

A MAYDAY call out checklist, positioned next to the fixed VHF radio, to include references to SOB, (Souls on board), position relative to prominent land falls or latitude/longitude and nature of emergency.

First aid

Appoint a first responder and a secondary back up on a larger crew if necessary. Functional leadership should apply if a crew member is medically qualified. Location and basic contents of kit should be known and additionally, any unique components such as morphine, suture kits, dental care kits and O2 systems.

Man overboard (MOB)

Ensure all crew are familiar with the MOB button on the Navigation system, the recovery systems and the best point of recovery on your vessel. Lifting strops, appropriate halyards for victim recovery and unique recovery aids should be discussed and if possible practiced both under power and sail. Random Q and A on this subject is a good way for the Skipper to break the ice in the crew briefing and a sound way for the crew to relate to each other. If known poor weather will be encountered then it is essential to discuss the benefits of a leeward recovery or if large swells dictate, the location proximity of airborne Coastguard services. Who on the crew have their own MOB EPIRBS/PLB?

Liferaft

Use of the LR is a LAST decision and should only be made if the boat is on fire and or sinking. Inherently, the LR is a point of last refuge but NOT necessarily safety. The sense of the cliché, "it’s better to step UP to the LR and not down to it" should not be overstated.

Location of the raft and its use MUST be discussed at crew briefing and this will include a cross check of maximum numbers for the LR compared to souls on board, (SOB). Position and contents of the grab bag with fully powered up hand held VHF radio.

Galley

The crew as well as the appointed galley slave should be familiar with the following:

• ON/OFF switches and valves for gas bottle together with gas bottle stowage location and type of regulator used at the bottle.

• Gas isolation and gas detection system.

• Location of fire blanket and or BCF FE.

• Consider use of hot water flask prior to slipping to reduce risk of burn accidents if weather poor.

• Deep, rubber footed food bowls and drinking cups are best suited for use at sea.

• Pressure cookers with menus appropriate such as hot stews, soups etc are ideal items for stoves that must be fiddled. Check fiddle screws operate soundly.

• Matches are dry and location known.

• Bring relevant to crew galley items to front of stowage lockers for ease of use and location.

• Keep personal food in personal bags and NOT in the general galley area.

• Do NOT use personal camping stoves in lieu of the ship's stove.

VHF 無線電 僅需其中一名船員為持牌VHF無線電操作員，則任何船員 均可使用流動VHF或船隻的固定VHF無線電。熟悉CH16的 使用以及適合操作的相關當地頻道。切勿將 CH16 用作聊 天頻道。無線電是否 DSC，且是否有 GPS？了解每個無 線電都有啟動MAYDAY的系統。在船長簡報會上，與船員 一同審視修改PAN通話和MAYDAY的方法。MAYDAY 應在 CH16 上以 25 瓦特功率和全功率廣播。

放置於固定 VHF 無線電旁邊的 MAYDAY 發送清單包含對 SOB(船上人員)的參考、重要登陸的位置或經緯度以及緊 急情況性質。

急救

如有必要，在船員較多的情況下指定第一個應答員和第 二個後備人員。如果船員具備醫療資格，則應採用功能 性領導。套裝的位置和基本內容應為已知且額外的任何 獨特元件，例如嗎啡、縫合工具組、牙科護理套裝和 O2 系統。

拯救墜海人員 (MOB)

確保所有船員都熟悉導航系統上的 MOB 按鈕、恢復系 統和船隻上的最佳恢復點。應討論起重帶、適當的升降 索和供受害人使用的獨特恢復輔助工具，並在可能的情 況下，在使用發動機和航行時進行演習。此主題的隨機 問答是船長在船員簡報中破冰的好方法、也是船員相互 交流的良好方式。如果遇到已知的不佳天氣，則必須討 論逆風恢復的好處，又或者，如果受巨浪影響，則決定 空中海岸警衛隊服務的位置。船員中誰有自己的MOB EPIRBS/PLB？

救生筏

使用 LR 是最終手段，僅在船隻發生火災或沉沒時才應使 用。自然而然，LR是最後的逃生門，但卻未能保證一定 安全。「最好是向上踏上 LR 而非向下步落 LR」這種陳腔 濫調的意見不應誇飾。

救生筏的位置及用途必須在船員簡報會上討論，這將包括 把LR的最大數量與船上人員的數目作比對。附有已完全開 啟電源的手持式 VHF無線電的手提袋之位置和內含物件。

廚房

• 船員和被任命的廚房苦工應熟悉以下情況：

• 石油氣罐的開關和閥門，以及其存放位置和罐身上 使用的調節器類型。

• 氣體隔離與氣體偵測系統。

• 滅火毯和／或 BCF FE 的位置。

• 考慮使用暖水瓶，藉以降低天氣惡劣的情況下發生 燒傷事故的風險。

• 縱深的膠底食物碗和飲水杯最適合在海上使用。

• 可調製燉物、湯品等適當菜式的壓力鍋，是理想且 必須的爐具。檢查螺絲運作是否正常。

• 火柴是乾的，位置已知。

• 將與廚房全體船員相關的物品放在置物櫃前方，以 便使用和放置。

• 請將個人食物放在個人包裏，而非一般的廚房區域。

• 請勿使用私人露營爐具取代船上的煮食爐。

Heads

If there is ANY part of the boat that demands demonstration of use, it's the heads. Show all crew the functionality of the head from seacocks to wet and dry pump out. Dispersal of paper waste etc, holding tanks and pump out protocols off shore, (3 miles). Heads etiquette and sea sickness protocols, (leeward side or bucket). Syphoning systems if appropriate and sink drains, shower water egress mechanisms.

Garbage

Organic, non-waxed food waste MAY be discarded at sea. Do NOT discard banana skins and citrus peelings at sea. All other waste to be bagged and disposed of ashore with recycle items as appropriate. Old fuel and oil, coolants and paint residues should be left on board for discarding at the dockside.

Garbage bags should have a dedicated location away from quarters such as anchor locker or sugar scoop on the stern.

Bilge pumps

Most lager boats have an auto bilge pump operated off a float switch. Additional manual pumps may be present and their operation known and this will include bilge handle location. Any unique bilge pumps and purpose should be discussed such as dedicated bilge pump to engine room floor and its outlet; alternate main bilge pump systems should the primary system fail and location of relevant spares.

Bilge pumps lead to knowledge of seacocks and this maybe complex to discuss on larger boats. However, each seacock will have a "blocker plugging cone" attached to the sea cock on off handle. Should the valve fail, then the cone can be hammered into place to stop ingress of water. There may be a suite of cones in the area of a number of seacocks due to differing sizes of valves.

Blockage of bilge pumps is not uncommon. Should the bilge area become full then check the float switch for damage or blockage by a heavy item. Paper, plastic and general waste can easily block a bilge intake. A digital and or a visual check, even if the bilge area is deep, is certainly in order to isolate other reasons for blockage.

If a manual bilge system is employed then the reason for use, i.e. source of water ingress, must be ascertained. Long pump out periods may need a shift system and or a diversion procedure if further damage or risk is imminent.

廁所 如果船上有任何部分需要進行使用示範，那就是衛生間。 從船身上的水底閥門到乾濕兩用泵，向所有船員展示使用 衛生間的注意事項。分類紙張廢物等，將儲槽或泵出離岸 水域 (3 哩)。衛生間禮儀和暈船情況、(逆風側或水桶)。可 選擇虹吸管抽取系統（如適用)和水槽排水、淋浴出水裝 置。

垃圾

有機且未有塗蠟的食物廢料可棄置海上。切勿在海上丟棄 香蕉皮和柑橘皮。所有其他廢物均會在適當情況下與循環 再造的物品一起袋好及棄置於岸上。應將已用燃油和油、 冷卻液和殘餘油漆留在船上，以便在碼頭邊丟棄。

垃圾袋的位置應遠離船尾的固定鎖或船尾梯級等角落。

艙底泵 大部分大型遊艇均有 附浮動開關的自動艙 底泵。可能有額外的 手動泵及其已知操 作，且這將包括艙底 把手位置。應討論任 何獨特的艙底泵及其 用途，例如專用艙底 泵連接到引擎室地板 及其出口；若主要系 統故障，相關備用零 件的位置以及可更換 的主艙底泵系統。 艙底泵可讓您了解水 底閥門、這可能是大 型船隻上討論的複雜 問題。但是，每個水底閥門都有一個「阻塞錐頭」連接到 手柄上的水底閥門。如果閥故障，則可以將錐頭錘擊正確 位置，藉以阻止進水。由於閥門尺寸不同，許多水底閥門 可能會有一組錐形筒。

艙底泵阻塞並非罕見。 如果艙底已裝滿，則檢 查浮動開關有否因重 物／垃圾損壞或堵塞。 紙、塑膠和一般廢物可 以很容易阻塞艙底進氣 口。為排除其他阻塞原 因，即使艙底區域很 深，電子檢查和或目測 也絕對值得一試。

如果使用手動艙底系 統，則必須確定使用 原因，亦即進水來 源。如果即將發現生 有機會進一步損壞或 其他風險，側可能需 要切換換檔系統或分 流用程序。

Deckware

Boom system: Does the boom have a preventer and how is this used? Will the boom be above head level?

Sails: All crew need to be familiar with the ship's reefing system and the vagaries of any unique in mast/in boom systems. If reefing requires "at the mast" crew action, then be familiar with best safety locking on points, solidness of granny bars and location of spare winch handles should they be needed at the mast.

Genoa reefing systems and power sources with usage (if hydraulic or electric) may require better knowledge since failure of complex power units will need complex manual interference.

Anchors: At sea, anchors should be stowed either on the bow roller with an additional tether or strop. Never rely on the gypsy to secure the chain but none the less, it is good practice to have the gypsy lock secured in its gate. If the anchor is secured off the bower then a crew member should be appointed as anchor leader and be familiar with re attachment to the chain should it be needed quickly, (e.g., engine failure in reduced visibility, grounding and waiting for tides etc.)

Winches: Know the winches, dedicated purpose, functionality, (hydraulic or electric), location of spare winch handles. Position of windlass and if it’s a primary trip threat.

Locate all the deck D rings and know where the best hand holds are located. Be familiar with hatch opening and if the hatches are forward facing or stern. Dorade vents or boxes; reverse face if necessary or store below if they have screw hatches to replace, especially if poor weather expected.

Crew welfare

"A bad day at sea is worth a hundred of good ones in the office." Remember, we are on the water to enjoy the experience and we are all part of a crew system to make that experience a positive one.

The Skipper should both manage and lead a crew. That means that crew welfare through means of proper counsel, feeding and hydration and appropriate teams-man ship, ( the suiting of best personnel together ), should be at the fore. Any member of the crew should be at ease voicing concerns, asking advice and procuring knowledge, under the command of a good skipper. Of course, that expectation also means that a good crew member must be compliant, observe SOP's and ships protocols and be prepared. A crew of six, with all possessing a Leatherman device have a high probability of being a robust team.

Alcohol: At sea, many skippers run a DRY ship. If the passage is long, then the matter of a 'sundowner' to improve crew morale can be contentious but ultimately, excessive drinking and certainly drinking on watch should NOT be tolerated. “A dry topside can lead to a permissibly wet gullet."

The skipper should always complete the safety briefing with “are there any questions?" This would be an apt time for you as the skipper to detail your concerns and thus foster a better attitude within the dynamic of the team. This might include, a first passage in this area; that you are a type 2 diabetic; or a whimsical.” btw, I don't drink coffee.” Be honest, approachable and share your knowledge with your crew. And from that, you can probably be satisfied that your safety brief. has been complete.

The safety briefing is a broadchurch outline to demystify the processes the Skipper should go through to assess the risks of taking his or her boat to sea. Its not exclusive but should provide a generic guideline where some SOP's, (standard operating procedures ) will be of benefit.

帆船設備 橫桿系統：橫桿有否防搪塞，其使用方式為何？橫桿是否高 於頭部高度？

帆：所有船員都必須熟悉船隻的縮帆系統，以及桅杆／橫桿 系統中任何獨特且變幻無常的情況。如果縮帆需要「在桅杆 上」行動，則應了解最佳安全鎖定、扶手的穩固性以及備用 絞盤手柄在桅杆上的位置。

Genoa縮帆系統和正在使用的電源(如果是液壓或電動)可能 需要更多知識，因爲複雜的電源設備故障將需要複雜的手動 干擾。

錨點：在海上，錨栓應以附加繫繩或滑輪環索放在船錨輥 上。千萬不要依靠吉卜赛鎖來固定鏈條。然而，儘管如此， 最好把它鎖在扣上。如果將錨栓固定在船首錨上，則應指派 一名船員擔任錨栓主管，並在需要快速連接時熟練地重新連 接鏈條（例如：引擎在能見度降低、接地和等待潮汐等情況 下故障)。

絞盤：了解備用絞盤把手的位置、專屬用途、功能（液壓或 電動)。如果是主要旅行威脅，則說明錨機的位置。

找到所有甲板 D 環扣，並知道最佳手持物的位置。熟悉艙口 開口，了解艙口朝前或向後鏟形通風孔或箱；如有必要，請 翻面；如果有螺帽需要更換，請將其存放在下方，在天氣不 佳時更需如此。

船員福利 「在海上度過嚴峻的一日，比在辦公室裏度過上百日的好 天氣更有價值。」請緊記，我們出海是為了享受這次體 驗，而我們都是船員系統的一部分，目的是讓這次體驗更 為正面可貴。

船長應同時管理並領導團隊。這意味着，船員福利是透過適 當的輔導、飲食以及團隊精神(最佳人員集合一起)來得的。 任何船員都應在一位優秀船長的指揮下，輕鬆表達疑慮、提 出意見，還有獲取知識。當然，相關期望也意味着優秀的船 員必須合規，遵守 SOP 和船舶協議，並且作好準備。所有人 均配備 Leatherman 裝置的 6 人團隊，很有可能成為強健的 團隊。

酒精：在海上，許多船長經營着無酒船。如果旅程較長，則 用來提高船員士氣的「日落酒」也是可以斟酌的，但最終不 應容忍過度飲酒，當然也不能在值班時喝酒。「乾燥的表面 可能會導致潮濕小溝出現。」

完成安全簡報時，船長應始終問「是否有任何問題...」。這 將是個恰當時機，讓您作爲船長詳細說明自身的顧慮，並為 團隊培養更佳態度。這可能包括首次航行至這地區：您是 2 型糖尿病患者；或是任何奇人奇事。「順便說句，我不喝咖 啡的。」開誠相見，平易近人，並與船員分享您的知……從 此出發，您可能會因已完成安全簡介而感到滿意。

安全簡報為包容各種不同意見的大綱，旨在易於讓船長能進 行相關程序，評估將船隻帶往海上的風險。它並非唯一答 案，但會提供一項通用準則，當中一些SOP(標準作業程序) 將帶來益處。

WORD PLAY FOR MIDSHIPMEN

GRAND TRAWLER 62

When the 2022 "EuropeanPower Boat of the Year" award, gets pinned to a 62 foot Trawler, you either figure out the size of her nets or how many fish freezers she has under her deck winches. But, hang on, this is only a "Trawler" in the sense of possessing a reverse sloping, trawler styled bridge. The rest, is pure breed Beneteau.

The so called, "Grand Trawler", from the design bureau of Gollabrazie Natau and Amedo Migal, has offered up a contemporary hull with a straight but vertical bow stem and a low bow wave breaking chine. This mitigates the "bow bullet that was favoured a few years ago in reducing the pressure and form drag from the frontal areas. So, we have a very efficient waterline length, married to some pretty impressive sea keeping qualities for a boat of this size and mass.

Accommodation is almost in line with the vogue of open plan styling and this is evident with her thorough-fare from the aft deck, through to the inside bridge helming position. As she is primarily aimed at the owner operator market, crew accommodation is realistically scant but will amply settle for a crew of two in the bunk department only. That said, this is a long-haul and capable little ship that frankly, belies her overall length.

Offered in basic "Bristol Fashion" and good for passage distances of up to 540 nautical miles at an optimal 9 knots, she will easily eat the miles from the Trio 193 light to San Fernando in the Philippines, with a little fuel reserve to spare. At 12 knots, and 75% power, she will still deliver but don't count on significant levels of fuel remaining in both her tanks! Now, if you are keen on the old school notion of retaining your paper charts, pop your dividers onto Hebe and draw a 540nm circle and I think her cruising muscle will surprise you. That will give you Southern Taiwan and a heap of local cruising to Macau, the China Lemmas and a good stretch west of Zhuhai.

一艘 62 英尺長的拖網漁船榮膺 2022 年「歐洲年度最 佳機動船」大獎，您可能想弄清楚網的大小或者甲板 絞盤下的魚櫃的數目。但等等，這艘船被歸類為「拖 網漁船」主要是因為它擁有一座反向傾斜的拖網漁船 式橋樑。除此之外，這是一艘純種博納多機動船。

Gollbrazie Natau 和 Amedo Migal 設計局的所謂「大 型拖網漁船」配備現代船體，船頭桿筆直且垂直，再 搭配較低的船頭破浪脊。正因為推出了這種設計，讓 幾年前在減少正面區域壓力 和形式阻力方面受到青睞的 「子彈船頭」人氣稍降。因 此，吃水線長度非常有效， 對於這種尺寸和噸位的船隻 來說，海上的品質保持能力 令人印象深刻。

住宿設計幾乎符合開放式設 計潮流，從船尾甲板到內部 駕駛台掌舵位置的通道便可 見一斑。這艘艇主要針對船 主營運商市場，船員住宿的 情況實際上很少，但在鋪位 上卻足以滿足兩名船員的住 宿需要。也就是說，坦率來 講，這是一艘能力很強的遠 途小船，讓人忽視了它的整 體長度。

在基本的「布里斯托爾風 格」下，適合以最佳的 9 節 航速航行長達 540 海哩的航程，它可以輕鬆完成從 Trio 193 燈塔到菲律賓聖費爾南多的里程，還能剩下少量燃 料儲備。在 12 節航速和 75% 的功率下，它仍可完成任 務，但不要指望兩個油箱中還能剩餘大量燃料！若您醉 心於保留紙本海圖這個老派概念，將分隔線放到 Hebe 上並畫一個 540 海哩的圓圈，我認為它的巡航能力會讓 您大吃一驚。它可以帶您前往台灣南部地區，在澳門、 中國博寮海峽和珠海以西的廣闊區域進行本地巡航。

Twin MAN 730 HP diesels allow for good access to parts and a servicing schedule as good as any power units in the top class engine suites. The engine room has real space around the engine beds and noise levels under way are sensible below decks and quiet, above.

This boat however, is a kind of a hybrid. She is a sub species of sport trawler design going back to the eighties with the likes of De Fever and Grand banks but without the retroussé windows. She is better suited to extended short haul cruising and will rest easier in the waters of Mirs Bay and long weekends around the Soko's. Her folding swim platform begs to be used and that’s not going to happen on extended passage making, so essentially, she is saying, “flaunt what you've got" and that’s a notion she states well on anchor as well.

With a potable water tankage shy of 900 litres and a mere 28 tonnes, the Grand Trawler is both agile and versatile. Yes, she will work into tight docks with the ever fashionable bow and stern thrusters but needs caution from the helm in winds over 15 knots, since her high freeboard creates a generous sail in crosswind conditions. That said, the elevated fly bridge position gives a 360 degree panoramic view and very decent perspectives of both the bow and the aft decks.

Prices at the moment are determined by the Euro, after all, she is principally a French boat and that means her dock side dollar will vary fairly frequently. Give the team in the Simpson Marine office a buzz and they will gladly advise where those price listings, with the options, are currently settling. Even better, book yourself a slot on this Trawler without nets, not a single creel winch in sight and whose only freezer sits abeam the galley's Champagne fridge.

Ahoy!

MAN 730 馬力雙柴油發動機可供方便地得取零件並安排維 修，與任何頂級發動機套件中的動力裝置一樣優質。引擎室 在引擎床周圍具有真實的空間，甲板下的噪音水平合理，而 在甲板上則十分安靜。

然而，這艘艇是一種混合機動船。它是運動拖網漁船設計的 一個分支，其源起可追溯至八十年代的 De Fever 和 Grand banks 等船隻，但卻沒有翹起的窗戶。它更適合長時間的 短途巡航，在大鵬 灣水域和索科附近 的長週末更容易停 泊休息。它的摺疊 式游泳平台尚待使 用，但這不會發生 在長時間航程中。 所以，從本質而 言，她就像是在「 炫耀擁有的一切」 ，而其錨也是理異 曲同工。

大型拖網漁船的飲 用水箱只有900 升， 重量僅 28 噸，既靈 活又兼具多功能。 是的，它可以透過時髦的船首和船尾推進器在狹窄的碼頭工 作，但在風速超過 15 節時需要謹慎掌舵，因為其高乾舷在側 風條件下會產生很大的風帆。也就是說，高架飛橋位置提供 了 360 度全景視野，船首和船尾甲板具有非常不錯的視角。 畢竟，由於它理論上是一艘法國艇，目前價格以歐元計，這 意味着其美元價格會經常變化。致電 Simpson 遊艇辦公室的 團隊，他們會很樂意提供價目表以及可用選項。您甚至還可 以在這艘沒有漁網和絞盤的拖網漁船上預訂一個艙位，而唯 一的雪櫃就在廚房的香檳雪櫃上方。

啊哈！

NEW ERA OF ENGINES

So, do you remember before Covid locked us all in our local bubbles, our Islands of Papillion and abrogated our lives to the penury of status? That we used to travel, and travel out of Hong Kong Central we certainly did! With vigour! Pre 2019, statistically, Thailand was the choice destination for those of us in the 852, to all the usual haunts we enjoyed so much; Phuket, Bangkok, Koh Samui et al. Ahhh, the Tom Yum, Pad Thai and Massaman Curry. The crazy Tuk Tuks and the long tail, high speed ferries with their exposed Isuzu engines.

“Hang On" I hear you say, "what on earth or on the Mekong has this to do with the TEMO 450 electric outboard?”. Ok paradigms over, so let’s get to the point.

www.temofrance.com

The TEMO is a light weight, 4.9 KG electric engine. It's powered by a lithium system and is ostensibly water proof, crash proof and will float if dropped at the dinghy dock or off the transom, (at least for enough time to retrieve it after docking the beer, swearing at the dog or re corking the Pinot.).

Designed in Nantes, the City capital of NW France, this is an engine that speaks Thai but behaves in French with a modicum of svelte. It is entirely portable with just about everything inclusive so it can be handled as easily in its carry bag as it can off the back of the RIB.

The Thai connection is inherent in its design, since it is effectively a version of our long tailed Isuzu powered skiff. This is an extendable or telescopic, long tailed, three bladed, 450W motor stuck at the business end of a very manageable, new outboard. Unlike the Torqueedo, the battery is built into the 1.7m shaft and that means two things of significance.

1. The system is a single unit.

2. There is no vertical hinge point for steering, since the whole assembly sits on a simple rollock. That means, shallow water access without damaging the prop off a fixed shaft and easier removal of debris from the blades. Less blue language as you hit those ghost nets maybe?

All the energy is linear to the prop and the power delivery to get you off the dock is at the top end of 200W. Whilst it’s not easy to translate two stroke fossil power to electric torque, Mathew Bromley, (the HKG dealer) tells me that this equates to about 3 HP at the delivery end. It’s NO long tail that will plane the RIB but it has 42 minutes of available power at full trigger throttle and 80 minutes at half speed. Now, that’s pretty good when you consider that the competition stands at half that time, is heavier and sports less agility both on the boat and in the bag. Re charge is under 4 hours and can be done

新冠疫情讓我們困在本地的泡沫之中，彷彿置身 孤島，生活被剝奪，陷入貧困。然而，你還記得 此前的生活嗎？我們曾衝出香港中環到處旅行， 我們確實這樣做了！當時的我們活力十足！據統 計，在 2019 年之前，泰國是香港人的首選旅遊 勝地，那裏有我們非常喜歡流連的老地方：普吉 島、曼谷、蘇梅島等。啊，美味的冬陰功、泰式 炒河粉和瑪莎曼咖喱。瘋狂的篤篤車、高速長尾 船及其暴露在外的五十鈴引擎。

「等一下」，我聽見你說的了，「但這與TEMO 450電動舷外機到底有什麼關係？」。好的，舉例 結束，我們進入正題吧。

TEMO 是一款輕量級的 4.9 KG 電動引擎。該引擎 由鋰系統提供動力，表面防水、防撞，如果在小 艇碼頭掉落或從橫檔上掉下去會漂浮起來（至少 有足夠時間停靠碼頭喝杯啤酒、罵罵小狗或塞上 皮諾紅酒的軟木塞）。

這款引擎在法國西北地區首府南特設計，機身修 長，雖是泰國製造，但內在充滿法式風格。引擎 十分便攜，但幾乎囊括 所有必要組件，可以輕 鬆放在配套手提袋中隨 身攜帶，也可以從硬質 充氣艇背面輕鬆取下。 它與泰國的連繫是其設 計中是渾然天成的，因 為它實際上是長尾五 十鈴動力小艇的一個 版本。這是一款可擴 展或伸縮的長尾三葉 片 450W 犘打，安裝在 非常易於管理的新型舷 外機的主要功能端。與 Torqueedo 不同，電池 內置於 1.7 米長的機軸 中，這意味著有兩點很 重要：

1.該系統是個單一單元。

2.沒有用於轉向的垂直鉸接點，因為整個組件位 於一個簡單的滑軌上。也就是說，可以不損壞固 定軸上的螺旋槳而進入淺水區，且葉片上的碎片 也更容易清除。當你撞上那些鬼網時，可能會少 講一點髒話？

所有能量都與螺旋槳呈線性關係，讓你離開碼頭 的功率輸出最高可達 200W。雖然將二衝程化石動

via 12v, 220v and 24V, (if you have a dedicated Lithium set up with step down, it is even faster). Nominal voltage of the whole unit is 25v. This all wraps up into an affordable engine for a light IB, (inflatable boat) of less than, say 35 KG, such as a Zodiac Cadet. Any similar tender with a roll floor is ideal for this motor but frankly, other than a wing engine, I wouldn't recommend it as a stand-alone unit for a dedicated RIB.

As an engine for coastal use with beach landings, negotiating rock outcrops to difficult landings or heavy duty shingle beaches, the TEMO works. It goes into reverse with the same low effort as it goes ahead. Yes, it is quiet, doesn't stink, belch white smoke or demand visual checks for a tell-tale water fall. It stores with ease and handling even if you are arthritic, not on steroids and can't bench press a large water melon. It can be stored below, out of sight of thieving ideas and is lockable if required.

I mentioned, "Agility". Maybe it’s a combination of lithe, lean looks and the where with all of a drone. Yes, it IS agile and will swing any roll floor IB on its axis but it has the ability to keep the tender, well. Sort of hanging. That trigger throttle is simply, a gem. No wrist twisting and no

力轉化為電動扭轉力並不容易，但 Mathew Bromley（香港經銷商）告訴我， 這相當於輸出端的約 3 馬力。它沒有長尾，不能讓硬質充氣艇擦著水面疾馳， 但它在全速觸發油門時有 42 分鐘的可用功率，在半速時有 80 分鐘的可用功 率。現在想一想，比賽只有一半時間，在船上和手提袋裡都更重、更不靈活的 情況下，效能還是相當不錯的。充電時間不到 4 小時，可以使用 12v、220v 和 24V 完成充電（如果你有專用的鋰電池降壓設備，充電速度會更快）。整機額 定電壓為 25v。一切都囊括在一個價格適中的引擎中，適用於 Zodiac Cadet 等 重量少於 35 公斤的輕型充氣艇。任何類似的配備滾裝甲板的交通船都適合裝 載這款犘打，但坦率地說，除了翼型引擎外，我不會推薦將其作為專用於硬質 充氣艇的獨立單元。

作為一款沿海地區使用的引擎，不論是登陸海灘，越過露頭的岩石艱難著陸， 還是堅固地駛過卵石灘，TEMO 都很有效。後退時與前進時一樣輕鬆。是的， 這款引擎很安靜，不會發臭，不冒白煙，也不需要目視檢查是否有水漬。即使 你有關節炎，未有服用類固醇，不能躺舉一顆大西瓜，也能輕鬆儲存和處理這 款引擎。它可以存放在下方，防止偷竊者看到，如果需要，還可以上鎖。 我提到過，「敏捷」這個詞。也許它集合了輕巧、外觀修長與無人機的全部特 點。是的，它很敏捷，可以在任何充氣艇的滾裝甲板軸線上轉動，同時還能保 持交通船穩定航行。有點類似懸吊。油門扳機簡直就是一顆寶石。無需手腕的

NEW YEAR'S DAY BEACH PARTY

新年沙灘派對

by Stu Pryke

The Sousa Moi was a tad late dropping the hook at Cascade and to ensure the Skipper was on his toes, the beach alliance party was all eyes on at assessing the anchor protocols of a rather prominent blue hulled Jeanneau. That said, there were yachts everywhere, even a ketch and a sturdy steel centre cockpit sloop, all in the cove were, excuse the idiom, “well laid"! Now, not for me to critique per se, but only one yacht sported the anchor signal, namely the hoisted black ball, brought to notice by a previous Commodore!

To say there was activity on the beach is an understatement. BBQ were in furnace mode and the wafted odours of sizzling snags, drum sticks and T-bones, mixed with Prosecco and the poor sailor's champagne, (San Miguel), drove the canine guests nuts as well as visually assessing the best beach chefs above the high water mark! Tides were on neaps I think and well set camps were moved up a few steps to cater for wave surge and floating eskies. RIBs were shore anchored and I am unsure if I have ever seen as many assorted dinghies on any one confined beach area. Essentially, this was almost what many of us in the Cruising fraternity would herald as a top notch venue!

The CSOH tribe is one made of true grit, IOR racing and a heap of lateral thinking, so it was no surprise that the competition events spurred the beach into yet another gear. Team Ashton engaged in true fashion and the pinnacle of the day brought us into the top Olympic events of egg throwing and yes, the tug of war. So, here it is, bar a stewards enquiry and a protest, I personally believe some of the eggs were hard boiled and the tug of war "coaches", ( Messrs Houghton and Casey ) had a definite strategy with almost nuclear tactics to boot. The girls won the egg event with some pretty impressive throwing though I believe a Mr Jones, yes of Simon fame, had a deliberate affray with his received pass, anointing the yolk to a sandy end that was finished off by a rather large ginger poodle.

Sousa Moi 遲了一點在 Cascade 下錨，爲了確保船長足夠小 心謹慎，海灘聯盟派對的萬眾目光均注視在船體為藍色的 Jeanneau上，評估着其錨定協議。儘管如此，到處都有遊 艇，甚至還有一艘雙桅帆船和一艘堅固的鋼製駕駛艙單桅帆 船，一切均盡在海灣之中，如俗語所言：「佈置巧妙」！現 在，我不想批評自己，只有一艘遊艇懸掛了錨號（即懸掛的 黑色球），由一位前船隊隊長率先注意到！

要說海灘上有活動實在太輕描淡寫。燒烤爐的火力全開，鐵 板香腸、雞下腿和T骨，混合了意大利氣泡酒和水手香檳(生 力啤酒)的香氣，讓狗狗客人十分興奮，同時也於視覺上審 視著最佳的海灘廚師！在退潮時，我認為營地的設置也很完 善，僅需稍移幾步就能應付浪潮和漂浮的冷藏袋。快艇錨定 在岸邊，我不確定是否曾經在任何一個海灘看到過這麼多不 同種類的小船。基本上，我們許多航行伙伴均會把它視作一 個頂級場所！

CSOH是由IOR競賽和一堆充滿動力及水平思考的水手門 所組成的、因此競賽活動將海灘化身為另一戰場也亳不出 奇。Ashton 隊以真正時尚掀起一日的高潮，便是引領我們 參與奧運投蛋比賽，對的，還有拔河。所以，就是這樣，除 了操辦者的詢問和抗議，我個人認為有些雞蛋是煮熟了的， 而拔河「教練」(Messrs Houghton 和 Casey) 有一個明確策 略，殺傷力幾近核武。雖然我因 Simon 的名氣而相信 Jones 先生，他的傳球經過深思熟慮後，將蛋黃塗抹到充滿泥沙的 一端，最後卻被一隻大型貴賓犬吃掉，而嬴得投蛋比賽的女 孩們則以令人印象深刻的投擲方式取勝。

BBQ time

The final event - tug of war. A genoa sheet was laid and a mid-point rag appointed with the winning marks foot driven into the sand. This was high tech at its best and umpired by the senior Ashton at almost Sevens quality and vigour. Strategy is key with TOW and in the spirit of pre match analysis, there was an obvious tactical move by both the skippers of the Steel Ketch and the Italian built Cat. Double bowlines settled on more than adequate waists, heels were dug and motivation chants affected. This was almost a beach Hakka folks, something rarely seen at Cascade Beach and the net result? Two wins against a contested loss. Umpire decisions were contested by a furious riot of competitors with little effect and thus, the anecdotal trophy of triumph was awarded to the bowline crew.

The first day of 2023 ended with a final gathering of Hebe staff, sustainability driving the departure of all and only footprints left on a retreating tide, though some were deeper than others and I'm sure I spotted some foot holds in the vicinity of the so called back anchor crew!

The rattle of anchor chains, more than the usual blue language and no one without a massive New Year's Day grin, fuelled by the best grog of the day, ensured a departure observed as a little ragged. All reached their respective moorings, sand dusted and cleated in comparative safety, though I'm certain Ichiban remains in limbo, somewhere between Lantau and the long haul to Langkawi!

Happy New Year to all and until next year, safe sailing and catch you at the high water mark in 2024!

最後的活動是拔河。一 條帆索放在地上，一 塊印有勝利印記的舊布 放置中間，然後被推入 沙中。這是一項高技 術的賽事，由 Ashton 擔任裁判，而其勁頭 幾乎也能與 Sevens 比 拼。關鍵是 TOW 的戰 略，本着賽前分析的精 神，Steel Ketch和意大 利建造的 Cat都有明顯 的策術移動。雙重稱人 結被綁到各人的腰上， 腳後跟被拉開，動力也 受到影響。這裏幾乎都 是客家人，在 Cascade 沙灘並不常見，結果如 何？兩勝一負。大家激 烈地對賽果提出質疑， 但也未能動搖賽果半 分，因此，帆腳索人員 取得勝利，獲得了奇聞 獎盃。

白沙灣員工於2023年 的第一天結束時集合， 可持續發展帶領著船隻 離開，退潮時僅餘留下 的所有足印，雖然有些 人的比較深，但我相信 我在附近發現了所謂副 錨船員的一些穩固的立 足點！

錨鏈的震動聲比平常的 下流話還要大，沒有人 不為新年咧嘴而笑，再 加上當日最棒的美酒， 離開時已觀察到大家有 點微醉。雖然我確信 Ichiban 仍然留在大嶼 山和浮羅交怡的長途旅 程之間徘徊，但所有人 都達到了他們各自的繫 泊處，擦去灰塵，並固 定好以策安全。

新年快樂，祝您安全航 行直到明年，2024年 在頂峰再見！

ESG AT HEBE

可持續發展在白沙灣遊艇會

ESG stands for ‘Environment Society and Governance’, it stems from the United Nations and is a set of standards designed to measure a business’s impact on the environment and society, and to measure how transparent and accountable for its action the business is.

Our Government requires HHYC and its members to have a responsible ESG programme and to exhibit good behaviours in this area. If we are unable to demonstrate good performance we will not be successful in our application to renew the Lease to the land in 2027. So we ask all members to fully support and add value to a range of positive initiatives, please.

Under ESG we are seeking to improve performance in non-financial and ethical areas. These include identifying and mitigated risks to the environment, society and the organizations reputation and to our legal status.

Through the activities of HHYC there should, ideally, be no net damage to the environment, no worsening of climate change or damage to society. This is very difficult and takes commitment and creativity. Some ESG activities may have no material value, but will have educational value.

by Andrew Brown

ESG分別是環境保護(E，Environmental)、社會責任 (S，Social)以及企業管治(G，governance)的縮寫，此詞 源於聯合國，是一套衡量企業對環境和社會影響的標準， 以評刻企業行為的透明度和責任程度。

我們的政府要求白沙灣遊艇會及其會員定立負責任的 ESG 計劃，並且於該領域展示良好表現。如我們無法展示良好 表現，我們於2027年土地續租的申請將不會成功。所以我 們誠邀所有會員給予全力支持，讓一連串的積極措施更有 價值。

於ESG的前題下，我們正尋求改善非財政及道德領域的表 現。當中包括識別和減低對環境、社會和聲譽，以及我們 的法律地位所面臨的風險。

在最理想的情況下，白沙灣遊艇會的活動不應對環境造成 淨損害，亦不應讓氣候變化惡化或為社會帶來損害。這實 在甚為困難，亦需要投入和創意。有些 ESG 活動或許沒有 物質價值，但具有教育意義。

A lot of good work has been done in this area by Management and the GenCom in the past and the current ESG committee will do our bit to build on that foundation. ESG inevitably leads to pressure to reduce consumption, produce less waste, have a little less convenience, and may require a change of attitudes and habits, all of which tend to be met with some resistance. We ask you to join us on a positive journey to a cleaner, less wasteful, inclusive and accountable club.

Areas of attention include:

• Energy, Water, Food, Buildings, Community and Governance

Initiatives the ESG committee are looking at with the GM:

• A study to assess the viability of replacing a defunct sampan diesel engine with an electric motor and power system, rather than a new diesel engine.

• A study to assess the viability of supplying some electricity for the Club facilities from sunlight.

• An initiative to offer more vegetarian options in the restaurant that may attract people who normally eat meat.

• An initiative to use locally produced, in-season vegetables in dishes, wherever possible.

• An initiative to reduce the amount of packaging entering our site that ends up as waste.

• An initiative to compost raw food waste onsite, turning waste into soil in which to grow plants and herbs.

• Working towards an air-conditioner temperature policy of 26 degrees C, supplemented by fans so as to reach 25 degrees in summer.

• A review of the suitability of signing up to a Clean Marina or similar set of internationally recognized environmental operating standards.

• A review and accurate recording of the Community contributions we make that benefit non-members and disadvantaged people, and exploration of additional initiatives.

• A review of fresh water usage and metering and ways to minimize wastage.

• Overview of production of educational materials to guide members in good behaviours in waste management.

• Advising on procurement, advocating resisting the temptation to buy and build things

• Advising on transparency and communication of the club’s Governance, as necessary.

• Advising and overviewing record keeping in all of the above (ie monitoring energy consumption trends and community events) so as to be able to show an audit trail to Government in lease negotiations.

Please do contact the members of the ESG Committee with ideas.

管理團隊和執行委員會過去一直在這方面做出了很多出色的工 作，現時的 ESG 委員會將會盡力在此基礎上繼續傳承。

ESG 無可避免會帶來減少消費、減少製造廢棄物和減低便利性的 壓力，亦可能需要改變態度及習慣，所有這些因素都將會遇上一 些阻礙。我們誠邀您加入我們踏上這段正向的旅程，打造一個更 清潔、更少浪費、共容和負責任的遊艇會。

需注意的範疇包括：

• 能源、水、食品、建築、社區和企業管治

ESG 委員會正與 GM 研究以下措施：

• 研究使用電動馬達和能源系統取代已經壞掉的舢板柴油發動 機，而非換上新的柴油發動機。

• 研究利用太陽能為本會設施供電的可行性。

• 於餐廳提供更多素食選擇，或可吸引平常吃肉的人士。

• 盡量於餐點中使用本地種植的時令蔬菜。

• 減少進入會所最後淪為廢物的包裝物料數量。

• 將廚餘進行堆肥，使其轉化為可用於種植植物和香草的土壤。

• 致力推行空調溫度為 26 度，並利用電風扇以在夏季達到 25 度的目標。

• 審視申請成為潔淨海灣或類似的國際公認環境營運標準的合 適性。

• 審視並準確記錄我們為有利於非會員和弱勢社羣所作的工作 和貢獻，並探討其他行動的可能性。

• 檢視食水使用量和計量，以及盡量減少浪費的方法。

• 編製教材以指導會員於廢物管理方面作正面的行爲。

• 就採購提出建議，提倡抵制引導購買和建造的誘惑。

• 於必要時就遊艇會管治的透明度和溝通提出建議。

• 就上述所有事項（即監測能源消耗趨勢和社區事務）提供 建議和審查記錄，以便於租賃談判時可向政府提供審查的 線索。

誠邀各位向 ESG 委員會會員提出寶貴意見。

SAILABILITY’S MOHAN COMPLETES IN SOLARIS FOUR PEAKS RACE

航能無限號完成SOLARIS四峰賽

by Enrico Zanella

MoHan skipper Enrico Zanella recounts the challenging 2023 Hong Kong Solaris Four Peaks Race, a dream come true for inclusive sailing

At 12.44pm on Sunday, February 5, 2023, we crossed the finish line!

It was tough, even in the in the first bay, Ma On Shan, where our runners needed to kayak for over 3km before tackling the 6+ km climb to the first peak. We experienced waves of several metres in the stern for about twenty miles south of Lamma Island, with cold and drizzle for a few hours.

And here is our story!

The team were absolutely fantastic – I had never sailed with them before this race. I let Ar Tai, skipper of MoHan, who was unable to participate in the regatta, and Fred, a Sailability Volunteer that I promoted to co-skipper at the regatta, organise everything and the training for this race, while I supervised everything.

無限號船長 Enrico Zanella 講述極具挑戰的 2023 Solaris 香港四峰賽，實現了共融航行的夢想

我們於 2023 年 2 月 5 日星期日下午 12:44 成功衝線！

即使在第一個海灣馬鞍山，我們的跑手需要以獨木舟划超 過 3 公里，然後跑上整整 6 公里才登上第一座山峰。我們 的船尾在南丫島以南約 20 海哩遇到數米高的巨浪，當時 還經歷了數小時的寒流和細雨。

接下來要講述我們的故事！

團隊非常出色——在此賽事前我從未試過與他們出航。我 讓無法參與賽事的無限號船長 Ar Tai ，以及由我提拔為帆 船賽共責船長的航能義工 Fred 策劃了這次比賽和訓練， 並由我全程監督。

In addition to being the co-skipper and therefore an active sailor on board, Fred is a very strong runner and therefore he also ran the two toughest peaks. Our helmsman, Wai, is very good upwind; Sylvia was on the jib, PUK on the mainsail, and Ok was our multi-role with sheets and winches. They didn’t let go of trimming the sails for a minute. John and Fung, the runners, had to struggle as counterweights in very important and difficult stages. Sunny Boy and CK had the role of “while you’re there”, one of the key roles because it helps everyone. David assisted Fred managing the boat’s manoeuvres. Kay was our fantastic steward, and she delighted us with various delicacies she had personally prepared.

At 10:50, we started upwind into Tai Tam Bay in two groups: 4 IRC boats started at 10.45 and 7 boats (one boat retired due to damage) HKPN Div A and B together. We set sail with the (smaller) reefed mainsail in 15 knots of wind waiting to get out of the bay to see what the situation was like. Over 20 knots were forecast, but it was 15-18 knots, and therefore we decided to fully open the mainsail as we passed the imaginary line between the Kau Pei Chau rocks and Sung Kong Island.

“In the first bay, Port Shelter, most of the teams launched their runners aboard kayaks more than two kilometres from shore, due to the total lack of wind. Normally, it would have been 50 or 100 metres”

We sailed upwind to the TCS2 buoy and then further up, passing Steep Island, west of the Trio Islands, Ping Min Chau rock, Shelter Island, up to Port Shelter to land at Tui Hoi Tsuen for the first mountain, the tough Ma On Shan Peak.

Fred and CK ran 12.75km, climbing and descending the 650m Ma On Shan Peak in two hours and 38 minutes round trip, including kayaking. We remained floating in almost no wind for over an hour. Then, a line of wind arrived in the distance.

Taking advantage of the current, we brought ourselves within this line and waited for our heroes to reach us after more than three kilometres of kayaking. Finally, we were able to set off again in the late afternoon with more than 17 knots of wind downwind towards our second destination, Repulse Bay, to climb Violet Peak.

Fred除了身兼共責船長和一位活躍的航員，更是一位非常強勁的跑手，故由他跑完兩座最困難的山 峰。我們的舵手 Wai 非常擅長逆風環境；Sylvia 負責三角帆，PUK 則負責主帆，Ok 負責多個工作包 括帆繩及絞盤。他們爭取每分每秒調整帆繩。跑手 John 及 Fung在非常重要且困難的階段作為輔助 要員。Sunny Boy 和 CK 擔任百搭崗位，協助每一位船員，是非常關鍵的角色之一。David 協助 Fred 管理船上操作。Kay 是我們出色的支援，並以她親手準備的各種美食為我們打氣。

10:50，我們分為兩組開始逆風進入大潭灣：4 艘 IRC 船隻在 10:45 與 HKPN 分組 A 和 B 的 7 艘船（ 一艘船因損壞而退賽）一起出發。我們在 15 節風速下以（較小的）縮細了的主帆啟航，一邊觀察 情況如何，靜侯離開海灣的時機。預報的風速超過 20 節，但當天實際為 15-18 節，因此我們決定 在經過狗髀洲岩石和宋崗島之間時打開整幅主帆。

「在第一個海灣牛尾海，由於完全沒有風，大部份團隊讓跑手在距離海岸 ２ 公里跳上獨木舟。正 常來說，應該保持 50 或 100 米的距離。」

我們逆風駛至 TCS2 浮標，然後繼續逆風航行，經過青洲、大癩痢以西、平面洲岩石、牛尾島，一 直到牛尾海，在對海村登上第一座山——艱難的馬鞍山山頂。

Fred 和 CK 跑了 12.75 公里，以 2 小時 38 分攀登及下降共 650 米的馬鞍山，當中還包括划獨木舟。 我們在近乎無風的情況下漂浮了一個多小時。然後由遠處吹來一陣風。

On the outward stretch, all upwind from Port Shelter, I underestimated the current from the east and we were trapped near Trio Island by 1.8 knots of current which made us suffer a lot for reach and pass east of Ninepin Island East.

At that point, we entered the wind line in a broad reach. We all got back to enjoying MoHan‘s journey, having worked a lot on the setting, before arriving in Repulse Bay late at night.

Despite the (very strong) temptation to open the gennaker, I decided to live up to our stated intention of finishing the regatta in absolute safety and with the aim of learning to compete together, in an inclusive way. So, we kept our foot away from the accelerator and went downwind on the mainsail and jib.

In Repulse Bay, there were continuous gusts up to 13 knots and we decided to drop anchor a couple of hundred metres from shore for the race to Violet Peak. David and Fung, our runner with a lower leg amputation who runs with a prosthetic, paddled to the start point where our heroes ran the 5.5km to climb and descend the 405m Violet Peak in one hour and 56 minutes round trip, including the kayaking.

We remained at anchor with the mainsail hoisted, checking it when gusts arrived amid long periods of almost absolute calm. Upon the runners return at around 1am, we set sail with gusts up to 13 knots, we began the long navigation towards Lantau for the third peak.

Just past Round Island, we encountered 17-knot winds with gusts reaching 25 knots along the south coast of Lamma Island. For a few miles, the waves were more than a few metres high.

We arrived in Cheung Sha Wan Bay around 12.30am at night after a furious but extremely enjoyable ride which required the full attention of all involved. We lowered the sails and sat at anchor waiting for Fred and CK to kayak the two kilometres round trip and the 10.5km to climb and descend the 995m summit of Lantau Peak in two hours and 20 minutes total round trip.

我們藉勢駛至航線中，並等待我們的跑手在划過 3公里 的獨木舟後返回。最後我們在下午稍後時間再次出發， 在順風風速超過 17 節下前往我們的第 2 個目的地淺水 灣，以登上紫羅蘭山山峰。

在牛尾海向外行駛期間一直為逆風，我低估了東向的海 流，被 1.8 節的海流困在大癩痢附近，讓我們在到達和 穿過果洲群島以東時遭遇不少困難。

當時我們正在走broad reach。在深夜抵達淺水灣之前， 我們在無限號上，做了很多調控工作。

即使面對打開不均稱球帆的(非常強烈的)誘惑，但我還 是決定維持我們的初心，即在絕對安全的情況下完成比 賽，並學習以共融的方式進行競爭。因此我們沒有使用 球形帆，並靠著順風以主帆和三角帆行駛。

在淺水灣有著持續高達 13 節的陣風，我們決定在離岸 數百米的地方下錨，以加入攀登紫羅蘭山的比賽。跑手 David 和 Fung 因小腿截肢而須佩帶義肢跑步，他們一 起划到起點，跑了 5.5 公里，在 1 小時 56 分鐘的來回 行程中登上並爬下 405 米的紫羅蘭山山峰，這包括了 划獨木舟的時間。

我們錨定期間一直升起主帆，以在幾乎完全平靜的一 段長時間中探測陣風襲來。當跑手於凌晨 1 時左右回來 時，我們乘風破浪以達 13 海里的航速，開始長途航行 前往大嶼山的第 3 個山峰。

剛駛過銀洲，我們在沿南丫島南岸遇到 17 節的強風， 陣風高達 25 節。在幾英里中，海浪達數米高。

We set sail again at dawn with overcast skies and about ten knots of wind on the beam to Shek Kwu Chao Island and then upwind with a maximum of 15 knots of wind, high waves and contrary current up to Ha Mei Wan Bay on Lamma Island.

The landing place was Lo So Shing beach. We suffered a lot at the edge and inside the bay from constant wind shifts, up to almost 180 degrees, which required a lot of effort from Sylvia, PUK, Ok and Wai.

Finally, we arrived near the beach and our heroes, John, who has a hearing impairment, and Sunny Boy, paddled the 200 metres to the beach, together with CK who brought the kayak back on board. We then set sail to the rendezvous point on the other side of Lamma Island at Mo Tat Wan.

There were variable winds (mainly downwind) until the exit of Ha Mei Wan Bay and then we sailed and against the current upwind with over 16 knots and gusts over 20. We reached the meeting point on a downwind and stayed with the mainsail up waiting for CK to paddle to the wharf where John and Sunny Boy embarked. It took John and Sunny Boy exactly two hours to ascend and descend the 6km route to the top and over Mt. Stenhouse, a 390m peak.

At 11:50, we set sail to the southeast to pass Chesterman Gate and then turned northeast towards the finish line near Round Island, between there and the Aberdeen Boat Club Committee Boat.

Thanks also to the Volunteers who gave assistance and carried out checks on land, on shore, along the route, at the summit and an orange buoy placed to the west of the boat itself. At 12.44pm on 5 February, we heard the horn, the signal that the race was over for us.

We screamed, rejoiced, messed around and hugged each other, super happy and proud to have fulfilled our dream: an inclusive Sailability Team participating in a challenge, only dreamed of before.

We sailed for 18 hours and 24 minutes, ran the mountains climbing a total of 2,440 metres for a total of 7 hours and 38 minutes, including the kayaking. Thanks to our yacht, MoHan and her comforts, we were all well, constantly happy and protected.

在經過一段需要所有人員全神貫注的激烈但極為愉快的旅程後，我們於晚上 12:30 左右抵達長沙 灣。我們拆下船帆，等侯 Fred 和 CK 在來回 2 公里的獨木舟和長達 10.5 公里的大嶼山山頂 (995米 的高峯)登山旅程，以 2 小時 20 分完成。

我們於天色昏暗的黎明時分再次啟航至石鼓洲，風速為 10 節左右，然後於最大風速 15 節下逆風行 駛，經歷大浪，逆流至南丫島下尾灣。

登陸的地點為蘆鬚城泳灘。我們在海灣邊緣和灣內灣遭受了風向轉變多達 180 度，這需要Sylvia, PUK, Ok 和 Wai 出盡全力協助。

最後我們到達海灘附近，患有聽力障礙的跑手 John 和 Sunny Boy 划過 200 米到達海灘，並由 CK 將 獨木舟帶回船上。我們之後駛至南丫島對面的模達灣會合點。

直至航行到下尾灣出口爲止，一直多變的陣風(主要為順風)，然後我們逆風航行，當時風速超過16 節，陣風超過 20 節。我們順風駛達會合點，並讓主帆繼續升起，等待 CK 划到 John 和 Sunny Boy 登船的碼頭。John 和 Sunny Boy 整整花了 2 小時完成 6 公里的路線往返山頂，並越過達 390 米高 的山地塘山峰。

11:50，我們向東南方起航，通過Chesterman Gate，然後轉向東北方，駛向位於在銀洲和及香港仔 遊艇會會船之間的終點線。

在此還需感謝一眾義工在陸地、岸上、沿途及山頂和放置於船身西側的橙色浮標上一直提供協助並 進行檢查。於 2 月 5 日中午 12 : 44 ，我們聽到了響號聲，亦即比賽結束的信號。

INTERVIEW WITH PARA SAILORS OF SOLARIS FOUR PEAKS RACE

2023 Solaris Four Peaks Race 賽事採訪

“I am honored to join Solaris Four Peaks Race; this is a very tough race as the para sailors sailed for two days and para runners ran up and down Four Peaks. The journey was harder than I expected.

Our skipper Enrico was skilful to sail upwind and downwind, he made the 40 ft MoHan perform best. I appreciated the fast runners too; their running speed shortened the duration of our race. The teamwork among the sailing crew and the collaboration with the runners achieved great result, the first runner up is the fruit of our arduous striving.

Thanks to Li Ka Shing Foundation, it opened a new page for Sailability Hong Kong and provides new challenges for para sailors.”

很榮幸加入 Solaris Four Peaks Race 賽事；這是一 場非常艱辛的比賽，因為 有傷健航員航行了兩天， 亦有傷健跑手在 4 座山峰 上奔走。這趟旅程比我想 像中的還要困難。

我們的船長 Enrico 擅長 逆風和順風航行，他讓 40 尺長的無限號做出了 最佳表現。我非常感謝跑 得非常快的跑手，他們的 奔跑速度縮短了我們的比 賽時間。航海隊員與跑手 的團隊合作取得了巨大的 成果，這個第二名的成績 是我們艱苦奮鬥的結晶。

感謝李嘉誠基金會的支 持，爲香港航能開啟了新 的篇章，亦為傷健航員提 供新的挑戰。

“I was delighted and enjoying the race though I was so tired. I got to experience this challenge together with the mutual respect, understanding and cooperation of our team members.”

即使很累，但我感到十 分愉快，也很享受這場

賽事。我們的團體成員 互相尊重、理解和合 作，我也正是在這種氛

圍下體驗了這次挑戰。

“I fully experienced the leadership, stamina, perseverance, techniques and team spirit. MoHan: We managed to succeed.”

我充分體驗到領導能 力、耐力、毅力、技術 和團隊精神。無限號： 我們取得了成功。

Four Peaks Race 賽事對我 來說是一次很好的體驗， 亦是一個新的挑戰。

“Four Peaks Race is a good experience and a new challenge for me.”

SAILABILITY CHINESE NEW YEAR PARTY

航能新春聯歡晚會

Thoughts from Kay Rawbone

As we saw out 2002 a very successful year once again for Sailability albeit only 8 months of sailing due to COVID restrictions early in the year. Record numbers for our grass roots and regular sailing programmes and also a good start for Mo Han as we trained crew and sailors and entered several races. Well done to everyone involved for making what we do at Sailability Hong Kong happen.

As always, a huge thank you to HHYC, Commodore, Gen Com, Staff for the support given to make a home for Sailability Hong Kong Limited. It really is appreciated and YOU all help us to change so many lives.

As we entered the Year of the Rabbit we have a couple of articles which we hope you enjoy reading.

正如我們所見，2022又是非常 成功的一年，雖然航能因年初新 冠肺炎的限制只進行了8個月的 航行。我們的基層和常規航海計 劃創下記錄，我們訓練了隊員及 航員，參與了數場賽事，這對無 限號來說是個好開始。感謝參與 其中的每一位，讓我們能實現於 香港航能進行的一切工作。

一如既往，非常感謝白沙灣遊 艇會、會長、總務委員會和員 工為航能香港提供的支持。非 常感激各位幫助我們改變了很 多人的人生。

正值新春兔年之際，我們發佈 了幾篇文章，希望您能喜歡。

Thoughts from Helen Fan—Senior Sailor

As starting of the Lunar New Year, I wish Kay, all staffs, instructors, sailors and volunteers of Sailability have a happy, healthy and prosperous year of the Rabbit.

Thanks to Kay, all instructors and guests in joining us for an enjoyable BBQ dinner party at 30 Jan. We brought home with joy, laughter and gifts!

A wonderful life experience for me as a volunteer in Sailability. Apart from learning new skills, making new friends and having fun, it also helps me to widen my horizon, build my self-confidence, feel younger and more energetic. Besides, seeing from this inclusive sailing has made the possibility of life changes of others!

I am delighted to continue my volunteer work. It is grateful for Sailability to add a new page to my life journey!

新春之始，祝Kay、 各位航能員工、教練 及義工有一個快樂、 安康及豐盛的兔年！

在此多謝Kay，各教 練及嘉賓出席我們 義工的新春野火晚

宴團拜，大家渡過 一個歡樂的晚上，

並帶著欣喜，笑聲 及禮物回家。

能成為航能的義工在 我生命歷程中是何等 奇妙！除了可以學識 新技能、結識新朋 友、為生活增添樂趣 外，更擴闊了我的視 野，令我增加自信， 感覺更年輕及有活 力。還有發覺共融航 行能令其他同航者有 著不同的人生改變。

我慶幸作為義工能繼 續為航能盡力。感謝 航能香港在我生命旅 程中加添新的一頁！

Thoughts from Louis Lee—Senior Sailor

I was so happy that I joined the Sailability Volunteer BBQ party last Monday , January 30 in Hebe Haven to celebrate the Year of Rabbit.

The Chinese New Year Gathering Party of that night was full of joys. We were all happy and made funs. The party served with wonderful BBQ foods and drinks.

In the course of the party, we chatted together and played Bingo game. The lucky draw was the highlight of that night. I was so lucky that I was drawn out with a prize. That night was so wonderful, and I enjoyed it very much.

In 2021, I retired from working. Through my friend’s referral, I joined the Sailability as a golden-aged volunteer. In the Sailability, I made a lot of friends and learned how to help people. Through our serving activities, I can learn that happiness is not inevitable.

I appreciate  the Association to give me a chance to serve special persons who need our cares and help. In the Salability, we were taught how to sail a dinghy. With the sailing know-how, we served back those who need our care and help. Such satisfaction can’t be expressed or described in wording.  Once again, thank you Sailability. I love YOU.

我很高興參加了為慶祝兔年於1 月 30 日星期一在白沙灣遊艇會 舉行的航能義工燒烤派對。

當晚的新春聯歡晚會十分歡 樂。大家都十分愉快，玩得很 開心。派對提供了美味的燒烤 美食和飲品。

在派對中，我們一起聊天，還 玩了Bingo。當晚的重頭戲是幸 運大抽獎。我很幸運，抽到了獎 品。那天晚上十分美滿，我亦十 分享受。

2021年，我退休了。經朋友介 紹，我以長者義工身份加入了 航能。我在航能交到了很多朋 友，亦學會了如何幫助別人。 透過我們的服務活動，我了解 到快樂並不是理所當然的。

感謝協會給了我機會，讓我能 服務需要關心和幫助的特殊人 士。在航能，我們學習了如何 駕駛小帆船。我們用航海知識 回饋那些需要我們關心和幫助 的人。這種滿足感實在無法以 言語形容。再一次感謝航能， 我非常愛你們。

Thoughts from Kwok Chi Lim—Senior Sailor

30 January 2023 was the most joyful evening I’d ever attended, in celebrating the Year of the Rabbit at the Sai Kung Hebe Haven Yacht Club. Not only many Sailability staff and voluntary workers participated but also the board members joined in the party too. The ecstatic and warm atmosphere filled up the entire party venue.

One could feel the cohesiveness of the Sailability staff and voluntary workers. The dinner was delicious, featuring the cultural mixture of Western (BBQ, salad and cakes) and Chinese (Fried noodles, fried rice and traditional sweet soup) cuisines. Unlimited flow of wine, beer, soft drinks and water was served throughout the entire evening.

The highlights of the party were the game of ‘Bingo’ and the lucky price draw from which many gifts were given out. Of course, the party would not be perfect without the group photos at 10 pm. Everyone went home with joy and a bag of yummy cookies given by Sailaibility. On behalf of Sailability staff and voluntary workers, I would like to thank Kay and the board of Sailability for organizing such memorable evening. Without Kay’s leadership and voluntary workers’ dedication, the party would not be successful.

2023 年 1 月 30 日是我參加過的 最快樂的夜晚，在西貢白沙灣遊 艇會慶祝兔年。不僅許多航能工 作人員和義工參加了聚會，而且 董事會成員也參與了這次活動。 狂喜而熱烈的氣氛充滿了整個派 對場地。

每個參與者都能感受到航能工作人 員和志願工作者的凝聚力。晚餐很 豐富和美味，融合了西式(燒烤、 沙拉和蛋糕)和中國(炒麵、炒飯和 傳統糖水)美食。整晚無限量供應 的葡萄酒、啤酒、氣水和水。

派對的亮點是「Bingo遊戲」和幸 運抽獎環節，其中贈送了許多禮 物。大合照時間為聯歡會畫上一個 圓滿的句號。大家帶著歡樂和由航 能香港贈送的曲奇餅回家。在這裡 我代表全體工作人員和義工,感謝 Kay和航能董事會舉辦了這樣一個 難忘的夜晚。沒有Kay的領導和義 工的奉獻精神,這聯歡晚會是不會 成功的。

It’s with great honour to have Kay, Barry, Mark, many guests and friends joining the spring reception dinner out of their busy schedules. All guests and 30 volunteers entered the venue successively at 6:00 p.m. They exchanged new year wishes with each other and the hall was filled with joy and laughter. Dinner started at 7 o'clock and everyone enjoyed the variety of foods as well as lucky Chinese New Year Foods.

After wine has been carried out three times, the splendid Bingo game commenced. Everyone enjoyed the game very much and looking forward to the desired numbers. The next programme is the grand lucky draw which pushed the atmosphere to the high point. Luck can come anytime to bring a grand prize.

We are grateful for Kay and caring persons for donating many lovely gifts, particularly giving each of us the delicious cookies in a beautiful package to take home. The dinner ended with a group photo session. Kay and three guests with zodiac sigh rabbit were posing as rabbit, which brought joy and laughter and marked the happy ending of the dinner gathering.

很榮幸航能的董事Kay、Barry、Mark 及衆多嘉賓好友能撥冗出席是次春茗活 動。當晚六時開始各位嘉賓及30位航能 義工們相継入場，歡聚一堂，互相祝賀 新年。現場充滿歡樂笑聲。晚餐於七時 開始、大家都很享受豐富的食物及應節 的傳統農曆新年食品。

酒過三巡後、精彩的Bingo遊戲便開始 了。各位參加者都很投入玩遊戲、熱 烈期待抽出“Bingo”的數字。隨後便是 大抽獎, 將氣氛帶到高潮、幸運隨時降 臨到各人身上、能抽到大獎。

在此要多謝Kay及有心人士捐出豐富的 禮物、包括每人－份包裝精美又美味 的曲奇餅。晚宴以大合照作結；屬兔 的Kay連同三位屬兔的外籍嘉賓都以兔 姿態拍照、十分搞笑。當晚的團拜春 茗活動便在歡樂聲中完滿結束。

Thoughts from Josephine Au—Senior Sailor

The Sailability Chinese New Year BBQ was held on 30 January at HHYC and 50 or so volunteers, instructors, and Directors all enjoyed an abundance of grilled meat – beef, pork, chicken, sausages as well as games and of course a lucky draw! Everyone present had a great time at what turned out to be am memorable, fun filled, and sometimes noisy evening.  We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Sailability Co-Founder and CEO Kay Rawbone took the opportunity to bid farewell to Jesse Lam, one of the instructors who has been a real pillar of Sailability’s operations over the last 2 years and moved to the UK in February.

Kay said “Jesse will be a big loss to us but what I hope he will do in the UK where there are 202 Sailability’s and show them what we do in Hong Kong!  But don’t go for too long! Come back – we love you, Jessie!”

An emotional Jessie spoke address everyone at the BBQ saying “Firstly thank you to all the Sailability volunteers. Over the last 2 years I’ve seen a lot of improvement and engagement in Sailability. In particular I want to say thank you to Kay who has given me the opportunity to do the things I love to do - to be able to teach sailing to people who are blind, deaf, and disabled. I have learned a lot from Kay over these last two years.”

Thank you and farewell Jessie, for now. We hope you will return to Hong Kong often!

1 月 30 日，航能新春燒烤晚會於白沙灣遊艇 會舉行，約 50 名義工、教練和董事一同享 用了烤肉大餐 (牛肉、豬肉、雞肉、香腸)， 各式遊戲，當然還有幸運抽獎！在場的每 位都在一個難忘有趣、時而喧鬧的夜晚度 過了愉快的時光。我們已經開始期待下次 的活動了！

航能的聯合創始人兼執行長Kay Rawbone 藉此機會向 Jesse Lam 告別，他是過去兩年 間航能營運的真正支柱之一，已於 2 月移居 英國。

Kay說到：「Jesse的離開對我們來說是一 個重大的損失，但我希望他能讓在英國的 202位航能會員了解我們在香港的運作模 式！但千萬別離開太久！回來—我們很愛 你，Jessie！」

Jessie在燒烤會上向大家分享了令人動容的 一段話：「首先感謝所有航能義工。在過 去的兩年間，我看到了航能的許多改進和 大家的付出。我特別要感謝Kay，她給我機 會做我喜歡的事，讓我能向盲人、聾啞人

士和殘疾人士教授航海知識。這兩年來， 我從Kay 身上學到了很多。」

謝謝你 Jessie，我們先暫時說再見。希望你 會時常回來香港！

Thoughts from Andrew Sheard—HHYC Member & Sailability Volunteer

January and February were a fairly quiet months for yacht racing, the Kowloon Cup was the only race, held on the 14- 15 January consisting of an island course on Saturday and a pursuit race on Sunday. This event had been cancelled for two years due to COVID and many sailors were very eager to compete this year. It was very foggy the day before the race and even on the Saturday morning, we were worried about not being able to start the race. Luckily the fog cleared around 2.30pm and we managed to run a full race. Sailors who came out to join the race on that day will never forget the experience of being surrounding by fog. Sunday was the pursuit race the weather could not have been more different. The wind was blowing, boats arrived at the Kowloon Cup Mark half an hour earlier than the target time and needed to make several laps between the windward Kowloon Cup mark and the leeward bay mark. Many of the sailors were exhausted from hoisting spinnakers up and down but they had a great time. Fifteen teams showed up at the prize giving award presentation at Yau Ley, the atmosphere was warm. What an unforgettable event!

The next event is the Monsoon Spring Series with the first race on the 25 February. There are a few changes we have decided to try on this event:

First, we have scheduled six race days instead of traditional five. We have only one geometric race scheduled on this extra day, which allows the race committee the flexibility to re-sail any races that have been cancelled or abandoned due to weather conditions.

Second, the race start time have been advanced by one hour to 1.00pm. In the past our Saturday races usually started at 2.30pm. About five years ago, with the implementation of five-day work in society, we moved the races to 2.00pm. Recently we have received some enquiries regarding and earlier start time. To this end, we emailed 71 skippers for their opinion and of 28 responses, 19 agreed, 4 had no comment and 5 disagreed. The main reason for the opposition is the concern about the loss of crew due to work obligation and living far away from Sai Kung. We believe there will be minimal impact of starting the race earlier, but weighing the benefits include giving the race officers more flexibility in choosing the race course and reducing the chances of the races being shortened, and encouraging more sailors to stay and participate in our prize giving presentation after the race, we decided to give a try this in our Monsoon Spring Series. We are of course actively exploring the ways to help teams find crew.

Lastly, we will do the ORC Club rating scoring for the HKPN classes. We will assist skippers to obtain a free 1st year ORC club certificate for their boats.

New J/80 sails

Recently the Club has bought two sets of high performance racing and six sets of training/racing Dacron based sails for our J/80s, which further enhancing our Club’s sailing development capabilities.

The usage of our J/80's has increased significantly with regular charters for keelboat racing, training and cruising. The revenue generated from J/80’s has also increased substantially. We believe J/80s are a key pathway for dinghy sailors and adult sailors to keelboat cruising and racing. With HHYC officially recognised as HKSF Keelboat training center, we believe there will be a higher demand on the use of our J/80s.

A sail audit was carried out on our existing J/80 sails last September. Thanks to Stu Pryke, our SailCom member, for conducting an assessments on our mainsails and headsails based on their UV degradation, wear and distortion, luff, leech, clew and tack point. The study has found that only one out six mainsails are in good condition and none of our headsails are in good conditions. Most of them are reaching the end of their lives.

BRIDGET CHAN

Rear Commodore—Sailing

Given current sail conditions and the need for six identical sails for our upcoming Match Racing National in April, the Club decided to acquire six sets of more durable Dacron based sails for general training and racing. In addition two sets of high performance racing sails were bought under the budget of the Hebe Youth Foundation Fund for high level sailors. Staff from the Sailing Center have been assigned as custodians of the new sails. SOPs will be developed to ensure proper use and maintenance of these new sails.

In the future we will keep exploring ways to do even more with our J/80s. Stay tuned for what we’ll be announcing.

Seminars

Finally, as more and more new sailors join the keelboat racing and more members volunteer in our race management, we plan to run several seminars and workshops in the coming few months. These will include Introduction to Racing seminar, a Mark Laying course and a Race Management course. Stay tuned for the schedule.

1 月及2月份是航海賽事較為少的月份，而 14 日至 15 日舉行的九龍盃是整個 1 月中唯一的賽事，當中包括星期六的港島航道和 星期日舉行的追逐賽。此項賽事已因新冠肺炎而中斷了2年，今年有很多航員十分渴望參與賽事。賽事的前一天非常大霧，甚 至在星期六早上我們仍擔心無法開始比賽。幸好於下午 2:30 左右霧便散去，讓整場賽事能順利完成。那天參與比賽的航員將 不會忘記被大霧包圍的體驗。星期日的追逐賽當天，天氣截然不同。當天風很大，船隻比預定時間提前半小時到達九龍盃浮 標，並需在九龍盃迎風標和背風灣標之間繞了數圈。許多航員因起降船上的大三角帆而筋疲力盡，但他們也度過了歡樂的時 間。15組隊伍出席了在有利舉行的頒獎典禮，現場氣氛熱烈。大家度過了非常難忘的一天！

下一場比賽為春季系列賽，第一場賽事將於 2 月 25 日舉行。我們決定在這次賽事中作出一些新的轉變。

首先，我們由原先的 5 個比賽日改為安排 6 個比賽日。我們在這個額外的比賽日只安排一場繞泡賽，讓比賽委員會能靈活地 重新安排任何被取消或因天氣狀況而中止的賽事重新進行。

第二，比賽開始時間提前 1 小時至下午 1 點。以往的星期六賽事一向於下午 2:30 開始。大約 5 年前，隨着社會實行五天工作 制，我們將比賽時間提前至下午 2 點。最近我們收到一些關於提前開始時間的查詢。為此我們向 71 名船長以電郵方式徵求他 們的意見，在 28 份回覆當中有 19 份同意、4 份沒有意見，以及 5 份不同意。主要的反對原因是擔心船員因工作原因或住得遠 離西貢而離隊。我們相信提早開始比賽會帶來一些影響，但經過權衡利弊，包括為了讓賽事主任更靈活地選擇賽道和盡量減 低縮短賽事的可能，以及為了鼓勵更多航員留下來參加比賽結束後的頒獎禮，我們決定在春季系列賽中作此嘗試。我們當然 亦在積極開拓為團隊尋找船員的方法。

最後，我們將為 HKPN 課程進行 ORC 遊艇會認證評分。我們將協助船長為其船隻獲取首年免費的 ORC 遊艇會證書。

全新 J/80 船帆

最近，本會為 J/80 購入了 2 組高性能比賽用船帆及 6 組訓練／比賽用滌綸船帆，以進一步提升本會的航海發展能力。隨著定 期舉辦龍骨船比賽、訓練和巡航日，我們的 J/80 使用量大幅增加。J/80 所帶來的收入也大幅增加。我們相信 J/80 是小艇航員

和成年航員巡航和比賽的關鍵途徑。隨著白沙灣遊艇會獲正式認可為香港帆船運動總會龍骨帆船培訓中心，我們相信 J/80 的使用需求將會提高。

去年 9 月，我們就現有的 J/80 風帆進行了航行審計。感謝我們的 Sailcom 會員 Stu Pryke，他根據主帆和前帆的紫外線退化、 磨損和變形，還有帆邊及帆角點為我們的主帆和前帆進行了評估。研究發現，每 6 幅主帆中只有 1 幅狀況良好，而我們所有的 大三角帆均狀況欠佳。大部份都已經難以繼續使用。

有鑑於目前的船帆狀況，以及將於 4 月舉行全港對抗賽錦標賽時需要 6 幅相同的船帆，本會決定購入 6 組更耐用的滌綸船 帆，以供一般訓練和比賽使用。此外亦在白沙灣青年基金會的資助下，為高階航員購入了 2 組高性能比賽用船帆。帆船運動中 心的職員將獲指派為新船帆的保管人。我們亦會定立 SOP，以確保正確使用和保養這些新船帆。

我們將於未來繼續探索如何充份活用這些 J/80。請繼續關注我們即將公布的資訊。

研討會

最後，隨著愈來愈多新航員加入龍骨帆船比賽，並自願參與我們的賽事管理工作，我們計劃於未來數月內舉辦多場研討會和 工作坊，包括比賽入門研討會、浮標設置課程和比賽管理課程。請繼續留意相關時間表。

Kung Hei Fat Choi and best wishes for the year of the Rabbit! I hope you don’t mind me popping up here to share some exciting updates about sailing development at Hebe.

• Hebe Dragons Easter training camp—Royal Varuna Yacht Club, Thailand

• Hebe Dragons European trip—currently being explored

HKSF accreditation

I am delighted to announce that Hebe is now officially endorsed by the Hong Kong Sailing Federation as a keelboat training centre. We are the only club in Hong Kong to own six J/80s, which we put to great use for both keelboat training and racing. These boats represent an amazing opportunity for sailors to learn different roles from helming and mainsheet, to jib and spinnaker trim, to foredeck work. These are fun and exciting boats to sail and can be chartered by members to race in our regattas or just for fun and a bit of cruising. If you would like to become an approved helm or join a course to learn to sail a J/80 please contact the sailing office team.

Keep in mind that joining in the fun aboard J/80s not only opens opportunities to sail and crew on J/80s, but very often also leads to crewing opportunities on larger boats. Many of the big boats that race in the Typhoon or Monsoon Series are often looking for crew. The Sailing Centre is also looking at further enhancing Hebe’s crew-finder page—simply scan the links below to make use of this great crew-finder platform.

香港帆船運動總會認可

我很高興能在此宣布，白沙灣遊艇會現已獲香港帆船運動總會正式認可為龍骨船訓 練中心。我們是香港唯一擁有六艘J/80的遊艇會，而它們正好非常適合用作龍骨船訓 練及參與賽事。從掌舵、主帆操作，到大小三角帆的調整以及前甲板的工作，這些船 隻是水手們學習不同崗位的絕佳機會。對於航行而言，這些帆船有趣刺激，會員可以 隨時租用參加帆船賽事，亦可以享受航遊之樂。如果您想成為獲認可的掌舵手，或是 參加課程，學習如何駕駛 J/80 帆船，請隨時聯絡帆船運動中心。

請記住，參與有趣的 J/80 航行不僅為 J/80 船員提供了學習操作J/80的機會或者還 會帶來成為大型船隻的船員的機會。許多在 Typhoon 或 Monsoon 系列賽事中參賽 的大船經常尋找船員。帆船運動中心一直嘗試進一步改善白沙灣遊艇會網頁“尋找 船員”頁面的方法，而僅需掃描下方連結即能利用這出色的“尋找船員”平台。

APRIL 2023 HIGH AND LOW TIDES

I hope everyone had a wonderful Lunar New Year.

The safety walkway installation on the boat rack is entering the final phase, the project is estimated to be completed by the end of March. After its completion the team will continue to optimise vessel parking in the hardstand area to try and facilitate more movement on the waiting list. I hope we have more good news to share in the next issue of Hebe Jebes

You may have seen significant changes in the appearance of the boatyard area. Over the past three months the Marine and Operations team have been working hard cleaning the area and moving containers around, to provide a safe, clean and tidy environment for everyone.

Over the winter period the marine team took the opportunity to lift up the three sampans the Club has used for over 20 years. The engines have been serviced, the sampans given a new coat of paint and new fenders fitted to get them ready for another few years of services.

On the marina side, we have re-installed the two sea bins, which will hopefully help to keep the surrounding area clean.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone to update their boat documents with the Marine Office - marine@hhyc.org.hk as the Club needs to regularly provide the Marine Department with a full list of licenced and unsured vessels on club facilities.

See you all soon at Hebe.

我希望大家都度過了一個美好的農曆新年。

船架安全走道安裝工程進入尾聲，預計將於 3 月下旬完工。竣工後，團隊將會繼 續改善硬架區域的船隻停泊狀況，並嘗試縮短侯補名單。我希望能於下一期 Hebe Jebes 能為大家帶來更多好消息。

您或許已留意到船塢區域的外觀有了重大的改變。為了給予大家乾淨整潔的環境， 在過去 3 個月來，海事執行團隊一直致力清潔該區域並移走貨櫃。

在冬季期間，海事執行團隊把握機會吊起了本會使用了廿多年的 3 艘舢板。引擎已進 行維修，並為舢板重新上漆及安裝新的護舷系統，使它們煥然一新並能再多用幾年。

我們在碼頭一側重新安裝了兩個海上垃圾桶，希望能有助保持周邊區域的清潔。

最後，由於本會需要定期向海事處提供遊艇會設施內的船隻名單，我想在此提醒大 家透過 marine@hhyc.org.hk 向海事辦公室更新您的船隻文件。
