REPORTS

It is with some regret that I have announced the resignation of the General Manager, Lisa Keatley, who has decided to move on to another position within Hong Kong, effective on 30 September 2019. I will miss her support but respect her desire to move on. I extend my best wishes to her.

DON JOHNSTON

Commodore

Looking to her replacement, this person will be selected after following a proper transparent search process. The Human Resources Committee (comprising Rob Quinlivan, Joseph Lau, Kay Patterson and myself) is responsible for this process and reports to the General Committee when key decisions need to be made. We expect that the position will not be able to be filled before Lisa leaves and, therefore, there will need to be some interim measures put in place. I will keep you informed.

Planning for the 24HR Charity Dinghy Race is well under way and the committee (chaired by Bridget Chan) is now looking for volunteers and sponsors. I urge anyone with inclinations to do either to contact Bridget. This is a fantastic event and it will be held on 5 and 6 October this year. Please keep this weekend clear by marking your calendar now.

The Articles of Association are being updated in preparation for consultation with, and ultimately the approval of members at an Extraordinary General Meeting (‘EGM’). The Honorary General Secretary, Nigel Frances, has dealt with this later in this issue. I wish to emphasise that the General Committee has agreed that the current intention is to distribute to members a draft of the revised bilingual Articles of Association in August and to hold a forum for members on the evening of Wednesday, 11 September to report on progress and give everyone a further opportunity to understand and offer input on the proposed direction. The EGM to approve this will need to be held after the Annual General Meeting in October. I also need to emphasise that the revised articles are to be approved by the Director of Lands before taking effect. We are currently in a dialogue with both the Lands Department and Home Affairs Bureau to ensure that the draft being submitted to you has the best chance of approval by the Director of Lands.

The programmes being run by the Planning and Works Committee are explained later by the Vice Commodore, Paul Arkwright. This team continues to make excellent progress in a number of projects which require immediate attention and is also addressing the long-term issues which include the lease modification. Regrettably, progress is not always evident to members so please read his report.

週年大會將於2019年10月16日星期三舉行。上一次週年大會（2018年12 月）出席人數（親身出席或委任代表）佔了總數百分之四十一，創下歷史 新高。情況讓人欣喜之餘，希望今年更上一層樓。執行委員會反映遊艇會 的需求，才能保障閣下的利益。希望大家踴躍出席週年大會，或者派委任 代表出席。 帶著遺憾的心情，我向大家宣佈，我們的總經理 Lisa Keatley 即將離 任。Lisa在本港另有高就，從2019年9月30日起，將會離開遊艇會。我要 感謝她過往的支持，也尊重她的選擇。祝願Lisa前程錦繡。

REPORTS

The Annual General Meeting is to be held on Wednesday, 16 October 2019. The last Annual General Meeting (in December 2018) was extremely well attended with a record 41% of the members (either in person or by proxy). This is very healthy but I would like to see that number exceeded this year. It is in your individual interest to see that the General Committee reflects the needs of the Club and I ask each of you to either attend or to give your vote by proxy.

我們會通過合適而透明的程序，物色Lisa的繼任人。負責招聘和挑選人 選的是人力資源委員會，委員包括Rob Quinlivan、Joseph Lau、Kay Patterson和本人。在需要作出重要決策時，我們將會向執行委員會匯 報。在Lisa離任之前，相信我們無法找到合適人選，填補空缺。所以，我 們必須設立一些短期措施，我會儘快向大家宣佈。24小時慈善小艇賽的 準備工作，已經密鑼緊鼓地進行。相關的委員會在Bridget Chan的帶領 下，正努力尋找義工和贊助單位。有興趣的人士，請與Bridget聯絡。這 個一年一度的盛事，將於十月五日和六日舉行。請大家馬上記下相關的重 要日子。 我們的公司章程正在進行更新，稍後將諮詢各位會員意見，並於特別大會 上邀請大家通過。處理此事項的榮譽秘書 Nigel Francis，將於後頁詳細 解釋。我想強調的是，執行委員會同意，現時我們希望把經修訂的雙語章 程，在八月份發給大家，然後在九月十一日（星期三）傍晚舉辦會員論 壇，向大家匯報進度，並且給大家機會，進一步了解章程內容，和就建議 的方向，提供意見。通過章程的特別大會，需要在十月的週年大會之後， 才能舉行。我需要強調，在章程生效之前，必須得到地政總署署長批准。 我們現正與地政總署和民政事務局對話，希望確保提交給大家的草擬版 本，有最大的機會，得到署長批准。 規劃及工程委員會的相關工作，由副會長 Paul Arkwright 於後頁闡述。 這個團隊工作進度持續理想，處理了幾項緊急的事項，也應對了一些長遠 問題，包括修訂租約。可惜有些工作進展，不是會員可以明顯看得見的， 相關詳情，請參閱Paul的報告。賽事委員會、帆船訓練中心和海事執行委 員會的報告也列載各項進展或改善工作，為遊艇會帶來各種好處。 年度報告已在準備當中，裡面列載截至2019年3月31日止財政年度間進行 的各項工作。雖然在2018年末還有一些顯而易見的問題存在，但是通過 管理人員和員工的努力，遊艇會還是做得很有成績。非常感謝各位的貢 獻。此外，現任的執行委員會，定下了許多具挑戰性的目標，雖然各委 員間中會有不同意見，大家依舊齊心協力，排除萬難。即將舉行的週年大 會，實在得來不易。我衷心感謝每一位執行委員會的會員！

The reports by the Sailing Committee, the Sail Training and the Operations Committee also list a string of achievements and improvements all of which serve the best interests of the Club.

The preparation for the Annual Report has started and it will show the extent of the work carried out during the Financial Year ending 31 March, 2019. The problems evident to all late in 2018 should not distract members from seeing the Club’s many achievements which are made to happen by the managers and staff—I am most grateful for their efforts. Further to this, the current General Committee set a number of challenges this year and each member of the team has worked together extremely well (despite not always agreeing with each other). The outcome of the upcoming Annual General Meeting cannot be taken for granted, so I now express my heartfelt appreciation to each member of this year’s General Committee—thank you!

Vice Commodore

繁忙的數個月過去了，在此我衷心地向規劃及工作委員會(Planning and Works Committee) 的所有成員致謝，沒有你們的努力耕耘，公司便不能屢創佳績。一年 中，你們在各項計劃的開展以至整個過程中的表現都非常出色。以下，我將總結 公司目前的業務狀況。

Sea wall repairs: all boreholes for the Ground Investigation (GI) works have now been completed on schedule by the contractor, Fong On. So we now know the exact nature of what lies beneath and thus what degree of engineering is required to get the sea wall and adjacent ground safe and fit for purpose. At the time of press the GI report was being issued to the project management consultant, AECOM, who will analyse the results and recommend a suitable design for the sea wall repairs, which once approved by GenCom, will then be carried out in the next works phase.

修葺海堤: 承辦商晃安建築工程有限公司（Fong On）現已如期完成土地勘察(GI) 工作的所有鑽孔。因此我們能夠了解地下的確切狀況，亦知道需要進行何種程度 的工程以令海堤及鄰近地面安全並適合修葺。在發佈會的此時，土地勘察報告已 經發送至項目管理顧問公司AECOM，以分析結果及建議合適的海堤修葺設計。這 項設計一經執行委員會批核後，便會進入下一個工作階段。

Marina pile extension/replacement project: the pontoons have been repaired after the damage caused in the last typhoon season and are already in much better shape. AECOM is also now moving into Stage 2 determining the piling height required; preliminary information suggests that the current pilings are not suitable to be simply extended and complete replacement of the piles is likely. To ensure piles are of sufficient height to help avoid them being overtopped as tides and sea surges continue to rise, two key measures have been initiated: •

•

Firstly, as an interim measure, tailor-made, super-sized U-bolts are being manufactured and will soon be fitted to the tops of the existing piles to physically stop the pontoons from coming off. Should sea level rise above the top of the piles, boats will still be moored to the pontoons—even though the pontoons may be at or slightly under the water level. This system has been successfully used on marinas in the US Great Lakes, and has therefore been adopted as a contingency while the second, permanent measure, is implemented.

Secondly, a survey of the existing pontoons, piles and marina has been completed along with an extensive search of submitted documents to the relevant government departments in this regard. We are working towards ensuring compliance of all marina components and initial reports indicate that it will not be possible to simply extend the existing piles (due to their limited structural strength), so AECOM is drafting the design for the complete replacement of the existing piles.

General underground utility survey: the works have been completed, and a complete map of all subterranean utilities is now available. A 300-page thrilling read, which will prove invaluable for all contractors and consultants working onsite—so we minimise the chances of anyone hitting pipes and cables below the ground when they are digging down during works.

PAUL ARKWRIGHT

It’s been another busy couple of months, and I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the members of the Planning and Works Committee without whom all of this could never have happened. They’ve done a brilliant job in initiating and progressing multiple projects throughout the year, and below I summarise where we’re up to.

碼頭樁柱擴展/更換計劃: 上個風季後受損的浮橋已經修葺完畢，而且狀況良 好。AECOM 現在亦踏入第二個階段，決定樁柱的要求高度；初步資料顯示現有的 樁柱不適合直接增加深度，很可能要完全更換。為確保樁柱有足夠的高度防止持 續上升的海浪湧過，以下會提出兩項主要措施： •

•

首先，作為一項臨時措施，量身定制的特大U型螺栓將會固定於現有的樁柱 頂部，以防止浮橋脱離。如海平面高於樁柱頂部，船隻仍能系泊浮橋—即使 浮橋可能處於或輕微低於水面。這個系統一直成功用於美國五大湖的港口碼 頭，因而被採納為第二項永久措施實行時的臨時措施。 第二，一項對現有浮橋、樁柱及港口碼頭的調查已經完成，並廣泛搜尋了已 呈交至相關政府部門的文件。我們現正確保遵守所有碼頭的構成部份，而初 步報告顯示無法只增加現有樁柱的深度（由於它們的結構強度限制)，所以 AECOM 正為完全更換現有的樁柱起草設計。

一般地下設施調查: 這項工作已經完成，而一幅包含所有地下設施的完整地圖亦已 適用。長達三百頁的資料將對所有於現場工作的承辦商及顧問十分有用—所以我 們盡量減低任何人於進行挖掘工作時碰撞到地下管道及電纜的機會。 進出升降機及花園酒吧: 為改善傷健人士通道及協助員工搬運重物上樓，我們希 望於殘疾人士洗手間的附近安裝一部升降機。我們已獲得屋宇署(BD)批准升降機 的位置，也委託了奧雅納工程顧問公司評估遊艇會的需要，以確保符合花園酒吧 範圍的規定。這將包括消防服務工程方法，並且可能會採用氣體滅火系統以符合 香港消防處對花園酒吧範圍的規例要求，再經由政府簽署認可後，才能安裝升降 機。目前，奧雅納工程顧問公司已經發表報告，並與認可人士(AP)洽談，尋求最佳 方法確保符合消防安全。 循序漸進…我們必定會成功。

Access lift and garden bar: to enhance disabled access and help staff transfer heavy items upstairs we are endeavouring to get a lift installed near the toilet for disabled persons. We have Building Department (BD) approval for the location of the lift and have commissioned ARUP to quantitatively assess the Club’s needs to ensure we have compliance for the garden bar area. This will involve a fire services engineering approach, and likely use a gaseous fire suppression system to meet FSD regulations for the garden bar area—which needs to be signed off by the Government before we can proceed with the installation of the lift. ARUP has issued its report and is currently talking with the Authorised Person (AP) to work out the best way forward to ensuring this fire safety compliance.

Step-by-step…we are definitely getting there.

恭喜我們的白沙灣 Dragon 隊隊員 Lumiere Ng、William Tsui、 Bryan Fung、 Patrick Feng 及Jeremy Ma 代表香港參加八月十六至二十三日 於加拿大京士頓舉辦的 2019 年Laser 4.7 青年世界盃。 Dragon團隊亦 和哥倫比亞隊、 阿根廷隊及加拿大國家隊集訓，我肯定他們能夠從中獲得 寶貴經驗。 同時，我們也感謝隊長 Herman Ng 及Iris 和教練 Alfred 及 Dragons 隊並肩作戰。

我們再次向兩大帆船賽事的贊助商表示欣賞和由衷的謝意， 包括贊助颱風 盃系列帆船賽的 UK Sailmakers ，以及贊助週六夏季系列賽的 Peroni。

本會已於夏天完成更換浮泡，所有需要修復的浮泡都已經修復好，而且新 的燈光保護系統亦已於八月份安裝完畢，所以希望我們已經對任何將來可 能會發生的重大天氣事故作了更好的準備。

我們仍然尋找義工協助本年十月五日及六日舉辦的二十四小時慈善小艇 賽，所以如果你能夠駕駛救生艇、計時，或者能夠於陸上或水面提供協助 的話，請踴躍報名擔任數小時的義工。我們亦感謝於比賽前已經向我們提 供贊助的人士、報名參賽的人士，以及籌備委員會人員，尤其是Bridget Chan及Kay Patterson 為這個標誌性的活動所投放的時間及心力。

這是我為Hebe Jebes 寫的最後一篇文章，我在此希望感謝在我任期內一直 無私付出、支持的執行委員會、所有會員及全體員工。

在此我祝福大家，並祝願白沙灣遊艇會未來一片光明。

LISA KEATLEY

Congratulations are in order for our Hebe Dragon sailors being Lumiere Ng, William Tsui, Bryan Fung, Patrick Feng and Jeremy Ma who represented Hong Kong in the 2019 Laser 4.7 Youth World Championships held in Kingston Canada from 16 – 23 August. The team also undertook joint training with the Columbian, Argentinian and Canadian National teams and I am sure gained valuable experience. Our thanks also to Herman Ng and Iris as team leaders accompanying our coach Alfred and the Dragons.

Our gratitude and appreciation go once again to our sponsors of our two major race regattas, both UK Sailmakers for the Typhoon Series and Peroni for the Saturday Summer Series.

The Club’s mooring replacement exercise was completed over the Summer with all mooring buoys repaired where necessary and a new lightning protection system was installed in August so hopefully we are more prepared for any future major weather impacts.

We are still seeking volunteers to help with this year’s 24HR Charity Dinghy Race on 5 and 6 October, so please sign up for a few hours to assist if you can drive a safety boat, count laps or help land or waterside. Our thanks also go to the many people who have stepped up prior to the race itself to provide sponsorship, team entries and also to the organising committee particularly Bridget Chan and Kay Patterson for all their time and effort spent in preparation for this signature event.

As this is my final article for Hebe Jebes, I would like to thank the General Committee and all members and employees for the support and assistance that they have given me during my tenure at the Club.

My best wishes to everyone and here’s to a bright future for HHYC.

HEBE DRAGONS & TEAM HONG KONG HEAD FOR CANADA YOUTH WORLD LASER CHAMPIONSHIPS 2019

by Rob Allen The 2019 ILCA Laser 4.7 Youth World Championships will be held in Kingston, Canada from 16 – 23 August 2019.

Team Hong Kong will be represented by five out of six Hebe Dragons Laser top sailors over in Canada at the event, and we are delighted to team up with the Hong Kong Sailing Federation who have financially supported and subvented the trip.

This morning we held our official flag ceremony with HKSF representatives—Tong Shing and Eileen Sze—who were here to be part of this event.

Both Eileen and Tong were presented with the team shirts as a gift of thanks for their support and in return, they presented three of the sailors present with the Hong Kong flag to fly over in Canada this summer.

We also had about 70 students taking part in the first day of their sailing and watersports camps at the ceremony.

Hopefully this will inspire future generations of sailors from the group to represent Hong Kong on the water in future years to come.

Team Hong Kong in no particular order:

HK Laser Coach: Alfred Okoth HHYC

Team Leader: Iris Yuen HHYC

1. Lumiere HHYC

2. William HHYC

3. Bryan HHYC

4. Patrick HHYC

5. Jeremy HHYC

6. Bincker RHKYC

HHYC have also supported the team in other ways to make this event happen.

We want to give a big shoutout to both Herman and Iris who are our team leaders behind the scenes and over in Canada for the 23-day trip.

The team depart on 30 July 2019 and will undertake joint training with the Columbia, Argentina and Canada national teams taking part in the event later in the month.

On behalf of the Club, we wish you guys a great event, enjoy the experience and do us all proud.

Thanks also to the HKSF and HHYC once again for making this happen.

2019年ILCA激光4.7青少年世界大賽，將於2919年8月16 至23日，於加拿大京士頓舉行。 香港團隊將派出六位Hebe Dragons中的五位頂尖選手出 賽。我們非常高興，與香港帆船運動總會合作。總會提供 了財政上的支持，也資助了這次海外旅程。 今早，我們與香港帆船運動總會的代表Tong Shing和 Eileen Sze，一起舉行升旗儀式。 為了感謝兩位的參與和支持，我們向他們致送了團隊上 衣。作為回禮，他們三位在場的選手展示了香港旗幟，這 個夏季，這面旗幟就會在加拿大海上飄揚。 儀式期間，我們也有大概七十位學生，正在參與帆船及水 上活動營的第一日活動。 希望我們啟發了下一代的帆船選手，未來代表香港參與水 上的比賽。

by Rob Allen

Another fantastic weekend for HHYC has just passed, and there are so many people to thank who made Team Sheldon and the HHYC Open Dinghy Regatta possible and such a great success once again.

•

Firstly to our sponsors, Jeremy and Alex Sheldon (Members of the Club and active sailors from the family during their boarding school holidays), North Sails, ZING Toys and POLANIN Beer. Without your support both financially and with products, this event would not have been possible.

Thank you so much to you all.

Principal Race Officer & Main Fleet Race Officers—Nigel Slattery and Hugh Turpin HKSF International Jury Team Leaders—Tom Sheppard and Rut from Thailand—We very strangely had no protests this weekend so you guys must have done a great job. We saw the yellow flag being handed out regularly, so it was great work to keep the protest room empty. Team... well done!

•

The finish boat team—Sara H and Sara T, Elberti, Sharkey, Iris, Mariken and many others who helped out on each day.

The safety boat drivers —Harvey, Kay, Graham and Volunteers The mark laying team did a great job ensuring an accurate course was set as best as possible in the oscillating breezes—Gordon, Jason, Peter, Dougie, Chris and team were exceptional on course with the other volunteers.

The Green Fleet Team and key Members Ian, Gregoire and Christine.

The media team of volunteers and especially Herman for these brilliant photos above that show all the action onshore and on the water both days.

Herman you are a legend for this great memory once again.

Sailability HK were involved once again and showed good support as always.

This was the first Open Regatta for the CCF who we invited and sponsored to be part of this event.

They really did well to keep going both days in this first major event for them. Well done CCF team.

The Hebe Dragons parents were there in full force to support their sailors who made up a large

感謝所有犧牲了時間和獻出船隻支持活動的會員和義工，讓我們在水上有 足夠人手。週末共有超過75位員工和義工，支持超過200位選手出賽。 特別鳴謝以下在比賽期間謹守重要崗位的人員： PRO和主隊競賽官 — Nigel Slattery和Hugh Turpin HKSF 國際仲裁員領隊 — Tom Sheppard和來自泰國的Rut。 這次居然沒有收到任何抗議，證明兩位表現異常出色。我們看到仲裁不 斷交出黃旗，成功讓抗議室全程空著。整個團隊都表現出眾！ 終點船隊員 — Sara H 和 Sara T、Elberti、Sharkey、Iris、Mariken和很 多每天來幫忙的人士。 安全艇駕駛員 — Harvey、Kay、Graham和各位義工 放置浮標的團隊表現突出，讓標記在海風吹拂下，依然精準地顯示出航道。 感謝Gordon、Jason、Peter、Dougie、Chris、團隊和各義工。

portion of the fleets, but we also want to thank the other clubs both RHKYC & ABC for their support in bringing boats, sailors and volunteers to our event.

A great show of support for the sailing community within the dinghy scene that we have here in Hong Kong, that also shows how active the sport is and how many people are involved on weekends all over Hong Kong at yacht clubs and local government centres.

Well done to you all for getting involved in our Hebe family event.

There are so many more volunteers to thank, you know who you are and thank you once again to everyone of you for your time to make sure the event was such safe, fun and smooth operations on both days.

A big thank you to the STC team for their efforts in the build-up to the event and during the weekend. A great effort only two weeks after our Open Day event took place.

Our next major dinghy regatta is the 24HR Charity Dinghy Race on 5 and 6 October, so please save the date and make sure you come, take part and support the event and sail for the charities.

Uni-Titanium sails are the highest performancing, fastest sails UK Sailmakers makes. With the addition of Dimension/ Polyant’s LiteSkin®, the fast lasts even longer. LiteSkin is a thin film of fine polyester yarns that makes a lightweight protective layer that extends the sail’s life. Another benefit is that LiteSkin’s matte finish is easier on trimmers’ eyes than shinny mylar. Call for a quote or more information.

With the breeze having strengthened to 12 knots, the race officers wasted no time in getting a second race underway on the same courses.

The windward mark for IRC and Sportsboats was set at 1nm, and 0.8nm for HKPN and the Dragons at 110 degrees.

At 15.20, again the second race saw Lighthorse Alpha+ and Seawolf lead the IRC fleet. The two Ker racing machines (46-foot and 42-foot respectively) opened a significant gap over Arcturus and Blu. The venerable 28-foot Impala, Moll, retired for the last race.

Starting on schedule at 14:00, Lighthorse Alpha+ and Seawolf led the five IRC boats across the line. Arcturus was the first to tack on to port and managed to clear Moll. Blu was not so lucky and had to quickly tack to avoid Moll.

Next off at 14:05 were the six Sportsboats, comprising five Magic 25s and Ricochet, followed by the 10 HKPN yachts (14:10) and finally 10 Dragons (14:15) for a total of 31 boats, all on two laps of either the long or short course.

Ichiban approaches the top mark

Peroni Summer Saturday Series

by Fragrant Harbour 2019, Races 1 & 2

Race Officers Nigel Slattery and Eric Tomter were both surprised (and relieved) that they got all away in clear starts.

There was considerable congestion initially at the leeward gate as the Dragons rounded, led by Zephyr, before heading back up the course. They were required to pass through the gate at the start/ finish line on their upwind leg. Seemingly, only three skippers had read their sailing instructions and, as a result, only three out of 10 got a finish.

All did not go smoothly for Bits & Pieces since, as they approached the windward mark for the second time, they almost lost a man overboard. He managed to clamber back over the leeward rail and was, no doubt, refreshed by the dunking!

Lighthorse Alpha+ took line honours in both races of the day but lost out on handicap to Seawolf. Blu finished 3rd in Race 1 and Arcturus 3rd in Race 2.

Hotwired won both Sportsboat races—by 19 seconds in the first and 17 in the second—ahead of Red Herring II with Gnarwhal 3 rd in both, just 15 and 12 seconds behind.

No One Else took the honours on correct in HKPN in the first race with Ichiban trailing by just 14 seconds and Lazy Piggy in 3rd. In the second race, Bits & Pieces redeemed itself taking line and handicap honours ahead of Ichiban and Vixen. A protest between DEA II and Getafix, regarding an incident at the leeward gate, is pending.

Only three Dragons sailed the course in Race 1 with Zephyr finishing ahead of Shiva and Fei Chi. In Race 2, Zephyr added a second bullet with Phyloong 2nd and Dragonfly 3rd.

The fleet, except the Dragons, returned to Hebe Haven Yacht Club’s patio for the prize-giving, where pennants were presented before the coolers of the sponsor’s Peroni beer were opened and everyone dived in.

Another great day on the water and a promising start to the series which resumed on Saturday, 29 June 2019, with an islands race.

It was bright but somewhat cloudy over HHYC as the committee boat headed out for the first two geometric races of the Peroni Summer Saturday Series 2019, held on Saturday, 15 June 2019.

The series comprises eight races over five Saturdays, ending on 10 August 2019.

2019 年 Peroni 夏季週六賽系列第一、第二場比賽 2019年度Peroni夏季週六系列的兩場幾何比賽，於6月15日舉行。當日委員會 船駛出大海時，白沙灣遊艇會上空晴中帶陰。 這個系列賽，橫跨五個星期六，最後一天比賽在8月10日完成。

在牛尾海中段下錨時，天上大致放晴。海風約七至九海 里，低潮位置有點波濤洶湧。 IRC和Sportsboat的迎風標定在一海里，HKPN和 Dragons的標記定在0.8海里，110度。 比賽準時在下午2點開始，Lighthorse Alpha+和 Seawolf帶領五艘IRC船越過啟航線。Arcturus首先向左 舷轉向，成功越過Moll。Blu就沒有那麼幸運，要快速 的改變航向，才避免與Moll碰撞。 第二批在14:05出發的是六艘Sportsboat，當中包括 五艘Magic 25和Ricochet。之後是十艘HKPN 帆船 （14:10）和最後的十艘Dragons（14:15）。船隻總數 是三十一艘，全部都要繞著長賽道或者短賽道走兩圈。 所有船隻啟航非常順利，競賽官Nigel Slattery和Eric Tomter都感到意外（和欣慰）。 本來Dragons繞過下風閘道的時候，很多船都擠在 一起，然後才再次往上繼續航程。當時領先的是 Zephyr。按照規定，船隻需要在逆風段啟航/終點線通 過閘道，不過，看來只有三位船長閱讀了航行指引，所 以最後十艘船當中，只有三艘完成賽事。 對於Bits & Pieces來說，賽事並不順利。在第二次接 近迎風標記的時候，幾乎有船員掉進海裡。幸好他努力 攀過背風面的欄杆。不過浸過了海水，肯定精神份外爽 利！風速加強到十二海里，競賽官馬上在同一航道準備 接下來的一場賽事。

HEBE JEBES • SEP/OCT 2019

到了15:20，IRC 組別第二場比賽中，由Lighthorse Alpha+和Seawolf領先。這兩艘競賽機器分別46呎和 42呎長，拉開了和Arcturus與Blu的距離。讓人敬畏的 28呎Impala帆船Moll則退出了最後一場賽事。 當日兩場賽事搶航賽都由Lighthorse Alpha+奪魁，不 過讓分賽則輸給Seawolf。第一場賽事季軍是Blu，第 二場則由Arcturus拿下第三。 兩場Sportsboat比賽都是Hotwired得到第一名，分別 以十九秒和十七秒的分別勝出。第二和第三位分別 是Herring II 和Gnarwhal，相差時間是十五秒和十二 秒。 HKPN組別第一場賽事冠軍是 No One Else，與第二 位的Ichiban僅相差十四秒，第三名是Lazy Piggy。 第二場比賽Bits & Pieces扭轉乾坤，勇奪搶航和讓 分賽第一名，打敗Ichiban和Vixen。DEA II和Getafix 之間因為在背風閘道上的事故，出現抗議，尚未解 決。 第一場比賽只有三艘Dragons出賽，Zephyr擊敗Shiva 和Fei Chi，拿下冠軍。第二場賽事Zaphyr再下一城， 第二名是Phyloong，Dragonfly第三。 除了各艘Dragons，所有船隻返回白沙灣遊艇會，參 加頒獎典禮。頒發了旗幟之後，大家就打開了冰箱， 拿出贊助單位Peroni的啤酒，盡情享用。當日各人非 常盡興，系列賽到六月二十九日再續，而且包括了環 島賽事。

Dragons head for the windward mark

Eventually, Race Officer Eric Tomter settled for Course 71 for the faster boats, Course 75 for the Sportsboats, Course 87 for the HKPN division and Course 69 for the Dragons, based at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club’s nearby Shelter Cove facility.

He had the six IRC boats away on schedule (14:00), followed by the four Sportsboats, then the nine HKPN entries and, after a 15-minute delay waiting for stragglers, the 11 Dragons set off at 14:25.

Outside Port Shelter, from Bluff Island to Steep Island off Clearwater Bay, the boats criss-crossed open water, using a club mark deep inside Rocky Harbour to round and head for the finish of Little Palm Beach.

In IRC, the Ker 46, Lighthorse Alpha+, romped around its course, finishing in two hours and four minutes to claim both Line and corrected honours. Despite finishing last on the water (17:16:02), the venerable Impala, Moll, helmed by Philip Bowring, came a shock 2nd on corrected, thanks largely to its IRC rating of 0.899. Blu took 3rd on corrected and the beautiful Blue Star finished 4th in an elapsed time of two hours and 39 minutes.

In the Sportsboats, the Ricochet’s enthusiastic crew suffered a torn spinnaker forcing them out of the race. Out of three finishers, Gnarwhal claimed line and corrected honours, followed by Hotwired and Red Herring II.

Peroni夏季週六系列賽的第三場，於2019年6月29日，在炎熱的天氣下舉行。四個組 別的30艘帆船，在牛尾海河口附近集合，委員會船錄得六至七海里風速。從南面吹來 的海風，讓人精神一振。六月的香港，天清氣朗，果洲上空，藍天白雲。風速間中增 強到16海里，要挑選正確的環島賽道，確實是挺大的挑戰。 最後，競賽官Eric Tomter決定，71號賽道給快船、75號賽道給Sportboats、87號 賽道給HKPN組別、69號賽道給Dragons。競賽基地設於香港遊艇會附近的Shelter Cove。6艘IRC船準時下午14:00出發，4艘Sportsboat緊接其後，然後是9艘HKPN帆 船。為了等待掉隊的船隻，延誤十五分鐘之後，十一艘Dragons在14:25出發。 離開了牛尾海，在清水灣對出海面，各艘帆船縱橫交錯地從沙塘口山駛往青洲，直衝 糧船灣海深處的標記，再轉向往小棕林海灘終點進發。 IRC組別，Lighthorse Alpha+一馬當先，以兩小時四分鐘完成賽事，勇奪搶航賽和讓 分賽冠軍。在海上最後一艘完成賽事的Moll（17:16:02），由Philip Bowring掌陀。由 於IRC 評分是0.899，然分賽讓人驚訝地拿下了第二名。Blu讓分賽取得第三，Blue Star以兩小時三十九分拿下第四名。 Sportboats組別，Ricochet因為三角帆撕破了，雄心壯志的船員唯有退出比賽。完成 賽事的三艘船當中，Gnarwhal奪得搶航和讓分賽的冠軍、亞軍是Hotwired，季軍是 Red Herring II。 決心求勝的Vixen取得HKPN組別的搶航賽冠軍，不過讓分賽只排第四。Ichiban拿下讓 分賽第一名，實至名歸。第二名和第三名分別是Lazy Piggy和Crystal。所有Dragons 在二十一分鐘裡面完成賽事。頭三名分別是Zephyr、Eaux Vives和Dragonfly。 同一個系列的第四和第五場比賽，在七月十三日舉行。 Congestion for the late starters

The competitive Vixen took line honours in the HKPN Division but was relegated to 4th on corrected. On handicap, Ichiban scored a deserved 1st followed by the determined Lazy Piggy and Crystal.

Burning heat greeted the 30 starters for Race 3 of the Peroni Summer Saturday Series, held on 29 June 2019. As the fleet of 29 boats in four divisions assembled near the mouth of Port Shelter, winds of six to seven knots were being recorded on the committee boat. Coming from the south, the breeze cleared the air and, as is the case for much of Hong Kong’s June weather, the skies over the Nine Pins were brilliant blue with puffy white clouds. Oh, and occasionally there were gust of 16 knots, so it was going to be quite challenge choosing the right islands course.

Peroni Summer Saturday Series

by Fragrant Harbour 2019, Races 4 & 5 Once again the Peroni Summer Saturday Series 2019 was blessed with fair winds. A 13-knot south-southwesterly, with occasional gusts of 18, meant there was plenty of action on the water.

HHYC’s Bridget Chan was Race Officer, ably supported by her Windseeker crew.

Two windward/leeward races were the order of the day, kept simple with the same two-lap course for all four classes. IRC and Sportsboats went to a windward mark (with an offset) at 200 degrees and 1.3nm distant, whilst the HKPN fleet and Dragons covered 1nm without an offset.

The Dragon, Zephyr, was on course side (OCS) and had to restart, while an incident approaching the line between Maiden Hong Kong and Fei Chi saw the latter doing a penalty turn.

The IRC boats were less disciplined in their second start of the day—Race 5 of the series. Both Arcturus and Blu were OCS and had to restart. This gave the remaining two—Moll and RB—an initial advantage. It made no difference in the end with Arcturus winning both races. Moll was 2nd in both with RB 3rd in Race 4 and Blu 3rd in Race 5.

There was a lot of excitement in the Sportsboats with the VX One FAB claiming handicap honours. Hotwired paid the penalty for pushing the limits with a broach, dunking the crew in the drink during the last race. No

Rush finished 2nd with Gnarwhal 3rd in Race 4. Red Herring II was 2nd and No Rush 3rd in Race 5.

The four boats in IRC were away first in Race 4, followed by the four Magic 25s and one VX One in Sportsboats. Eight HKPN boats made it to their Race 4 start, followed by 12 Dragons from the RHKYC’s Shelter Cove base.

Lazy Piggy was far from lazy, or was it its favourable 1216 handicap that gave it a distinct advantage to win both races? Zam Zammah came 2nd in Race 4 with Bits & Pieces 2nd in Race 5. Ichiban’s crew, in the absence of Simon Jones, were wearing their red hot kit, and claimed 3rd in both races.

The Dragons, particularly the front runners, got in some serious racing. Best on the day was Eaux Vives with 2nd in Race 4 and 1st in Race 5. Very good to see they turned up for the prize-giving to collect their pennants and a bottle of wine for the win. Wudi won Race 4 with Dragonfly 3rd, while Elphie and Zephyr were 2nd and 3rd respectively in Race 5. The prize-giving was held in the Garden Bar of the HHYC where the sponsored Peroni beer soon disappeared.

Race 6 in the series comprised an islands race and was held on 27 July, followed by the final two geometric races on 10 August 2019.

CLUB VOTING PROCESSES

By Nigel Francis, Honorary General Secretary

As the Club looks forward to the next Annual General Meeting (the current planned date for which is 16 October 2019; mark your diary now!), I thought members might welcome a brief update on ‘Honorary General Secretary’-type matters.

As many members will be aware, the Club is a company limited by guarantee registered with the Hong Kong Companies Registry. As such, the principal sources of the rules and regulations governing the management and administration of the corporate aspects of the Club are the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and the Club’s own Articles of Association previously approved and adopted by the members (a copy of which in English and Chinese) can be found on the website.

prepare and review a proposed new set of articles to put to members for consideration in due course. This is not a small task and inevitably it will extend beyond the upcoming AGM (and therefore will need to be assumed and continued by the then new General Committee). However, the current intention is to distribute to members a draft of the revised Articles of Association in August and to hold a forum for members on Wednesday, 11 September 2019 to report on progress and give everyone a further opportunity to understand and offer input on the proposed direction.

At the same time, the General Committee has also looked back at recent past events including the last AGM held in December 2018 to see what lessons can be learned and improvements made in the Club’s internal processes and procedures, in particular those applied to and operated when holding member While the Companies Ordinance allows the members meetings. As many members will know, the last of a club a degree of choice and flexibility in matters AGM was one of the best ‘attended’ (in person or to do with management and administration provided by proxy) in recent Club history. While, of course, it for in articles of association, in several key respects the is a very good thing that members are energised to articles are subject to the overriding authority of the participate in their Club’s affairs, I am sure that it will Companies Ordinance. be understood that when this happens With the above in It has long been the desire and intention of in considerably mind, it has long successive General Committees to complete increased numbers been the desire and a review and update of the Club’s Articles compared with intention of successive of Association to ensure both that they previous years it General Committees are in full compliance with the Companies significantly increases to complete a review Ordinance...and also ‘fit for purpose’. the logistical and and update of the practical challenges Club’s Articles of faced by the Club staff and the various external Association to ensure both that they are in full compliance suppliers involved in aspects of the meeting process. with the Companies Ordinance (something of a ‘moving target’ as they are also regularly updated; most recently in To the above end, earlier this year the Club engaged 2014) and also ‘fit for purpose’ to serve the interests of the Wong Brothers CPA Limited (who are the Club’s members far into the future. The articles, in effect, are a auditors) to perform a procedures review to ascertain club’s ‘constitution’ and if well drafted and structured, they the proxy processing and vote handling procedures should be capable of standing the test of time with little carried out by the staff of the Club and the outsourced (hopefully, no) necessity for changes or even minor tweaks vote counting service provider, Datacap Computer unless circumstances change.

Solutions Limited, for the last AGM held on 10 December 2018. The procedures review covered various Over the past six months considerable further work procedures including the receipt and acceptance of has been done by the General Committee (building on proxy forms and voter registration and voting itself. that undertaken by previous general committees) to

HEBE JEBES • SEP/OCT 2019

Pleasingly, after reviewing the procedures performed, which included checking every individual proxy, Wong Bros determined that, regardless of any uncertainties whether in relation to proxies or their voting at the meeting, the voting result of each agenda item was not impacted. In particular, the review concluded that the process of voter registration, voting itself and vote counting was properly followed.

As regards proxies in particular, the review determined that a maximum of 6 proxy forms out of a total of more than 200 forms (i.e. 3%) had raised some issues; concerning, for example, the membership status of the appointor and their consequent right to appoint a proxy.

However, as already mentioned, the clear conclusion was that such issues would have had no bearing at all on the outcome of the votes taken at the meeting.

Nevertheless, the General Committee noted that at the time the Club did not have an established policy or guideline in relation to the interpretation and acceptance of proxies and as to how to reach any necessary resulting decision as to whether a proxy might be accepted and the vote concerned exercised. This weakness was already remedied for the recent EGM held on 22 May 2019, for which Wong Bros were engaged to supervise and advise the General Committee on any uncertainties in relation to proxies. And going forward the General Committee in

conjunction with professional legal advisers is seeking to develop and document best practice guidelines for all club general meetings that amongst other matters will address how to deal with any proxy uncertainties that might arise in the future. There will also be revised and hopefully more easily operated (especially from the point of view of the club staff) requirements regarding proxies in the proposed new Articles of Association, in part to reflect the provisions of the updated Companies Ordinance.

As I have already mentioned, as part of Wong Bros work, they reviewed all the votes cast at the meeting to determine whether they were validly cast and correctly tabulated. As most members will be aware, for any vote taken at a general meeting of the Club, full members are entitled to five votes and senior associate members are entitled to one vote; therefore, the number of potentially available votes is greater than the actual number of members.

The overall voting at the AGM is shown below for information. The members who voted (whether in person or by proxy) comprised 41% of the total membership. And of the maximum possible votes, assuming every single member (with 5 or 1 vote) had voted, 48% of the potential votes were exercised and taking in account at the AGM. The following table sets out the details of voting:

The Club rightly takes such governance matters very seriously; not least they go to the very ‘core’ of what a member club is about. While the club’s processes and procedures can always be improved (as they actively are), the General Committee is fully satisfied that all decisions reached at the 2018 AGM were valid and not in any way affected by the relatively minor uncertainties detected in the review by Wong Bros. But on a personal note, should any member have any unanswered question or query regarding such matters, they are always welcome to contact me; my contact details are on the Club website.

遊艇會的下一次週年大會，按照現時計畫，將於2019年 10月16日舉行。現在應該是適合的時間，向大家匯報一 下會所的近況。 HEBE BULLETIN

很多會員應該知道，遊艇會是一家在香港公司註冊處登 記的有限公司。會所企業方面的管理和行政事宜，必須 按照公司條例（香港法例622章）和會所自己的公司章 程規定。公司章程經由會員通過並採納，大家可以在網 址上找到雙語版本的章程內容。 公司條例允許會所有一定程度的自由和彈性，在公司章 程裡面列出會所部份管理和行政規定，但是針對重點事 項而言，章程必須遵從公司條例的要求。 有見及此，多屆執行委員會都希望完成公司章程的檢討 和更新工作，確保章程完全符合公司條例（雖然後者也 定期更新，最近一次在2014年），並可以針對會員長遠 利益，更合適地服務大家。章程就好像會所的「憲法」 一樣，嚴謹製作的章程，應該經得起時間考驗，除非環 境有所改變，否則無需作出微調或改變。 過去六個月，執行委員會（在前任定下的基礎上）完成 了大量進一步工作，制定並檢視了一套新的公司章程， 提供給會員考慮。這項工作絕不輕鬆，而且不能避免地 跨越此屆委員會任期（所以下一屆新的執行委員會，必 須把工作延續下去）。 現在的打算是，在八月份給會員派發經修訂的公司章程 草擬版本，並在2019年9月11日（星期三），召開會員 論壇，向大家報告進度，並讓大家有機會進一步理解章 程內容，並針對我們建議的方向，提供意見。 與此同時，執行委員會也檢視了最近一些活動，例如 2018年12月20日的週年大會，研究從中可以汲取什麼 教訓，如何讓會所的內部流程和程序（尤其是舉行會員 會議時使用的），得到提升。正如很多會員所知，上一 次的週年大會，是歷來出席人數最多的其中一次。看到 會員充滿熱情地參與會所事務，當然是一件好事。但是 大家也必須明白，出席人數比往年大增的同時，會所員 工和幾個參與會議流程的外來供應商，也面對大大增加 的工作量和實踐層面的挑戰。 因此，今年較早時，會所聘請了會所的審計師，民信會 計師事務所有限公司，針對上一次在2018年12月10日舉 辦的週年大會，會所員工和外判點票服務供應商迪恆電 腦顧問有限公司所處理的委任代表票和點票程序，進行

38

HEBE JEBES • SEP/OCT 2019

程序複檢。複檢工作包括各項程序，如接收/ 接納委任 代表票表格、投票人登記和投票程序本身。 讓人欣喜的是，程序複檢工作完成之後（也就是包括檢 查了每一張委任代表票），民信確認，無論有任何關於 委任代表或他們在會議間投票的不肯定性，議程上每一 項議題的投票結果都不受影響。當中，複檢結論認為， 投票人登記、投票過程本身和點票工作，都遵照了相關 程序。 關於委任代表方面，複檢判定超過二百份表格當中，最 多有六張涉及問題，也即是3%。問題包括作出委任的 一方，當時會員身份如何，是否有權委任代表。不過， 正如上述所言，相關問題對會議間進行的投票結果，並 沒有任何影響。這是一個非常清晰的結論。 不過，執行委員會留意到，關於委任代表的定義、是否 接納委任代表、相關一票如何行使等，會所並沒有既定 的政策或指引。最近一次的特別會員大會，在2019年5 月22日舉行。相關的不足，當日已經填補。會所聘請了 民信，就任何關於委任代表的不確定情況，向執行委員 會提供建議和監督投票。展望未來，執行委員會連同專 業法律顧問，將制定最佳做法指引，用於所有遊艇會的 大會。相關指引，可以幫助會所處理未來可能發生、關 於委任代表的不確定性。建議的新一套公司章程，也會 針對委任代表的安排，作出修訂。此舉除了可以便利會 所員工引用章程，也可以適時反映更新了的公司條例。 正如我上文所述，民信檢視了所有會議間投的票，確定 是否有效，和計算票數是否準確。正如大部份會員知 道，會所大會上進行的所有投票，正式會員每人有五 票，高級普通會員每人有一票。所以，最終收集的票 數，有機會超過實際會員的數字。 頁三十七的圖表列出週年大會投票數字。有投票的會員（ 無論是親自投票、還是派出委任代表投票），佔了總會員 數字的百分之四十一。假設每一位會員都有投票，無論他 們可以每人投五票還是一票，最大可能票數中，有百分之 四十八的票數獲行使，並且於週年大會上計算。 遊艇會非常重視這些管治議題，對於會員制會所的核心問 題，更加高度關注。會所的程序永遠都有改善的空間，執 行委員會非常滿意，2018年的週年大會上通過的所有決 議，全部有效，而且沒有受到民信檢視的小問題所影響。 我想補充的是，針對此類事情，如果會員有任何問題，歡 迎隨時聯絡我。我的聯絡資料可以在網址上找到。

Lam Kin Wah, Albert: Going downwind HK 2.4mR sailors: Getting ready to go (Day 1)

PARA WORLDS SPAIN

30 June to 7 July 2019

by Mike Rawbone

28 nations and 91 sailors took part in this year’s Para World Championships held at Puerto Santa Maria (Cadiz) in Spain. As many will realise, this is a very much reduced fleet over previous years due to the lack of support given to sailors ever since sailing was excluded from the Paralympics.

The reduced HK team comprised FOO Yuen Wai (2.4mR), PUK Chi Yeung (2.4mR) and LAM Kin Wah, Albert in the Hansa 303 Singles. It was pleasing to note that Macau was represented for the second time in a World Championships by LIONG Wun Wah (‘OK’ as we know him) in the Hansa 303 singles. OK learned to sail and continues to sail with Sailability here at HHYC. Perhaps of interest, the youngest sailor taking part was aged 13 (coming 5th in the Hansa Single Handed) and the oldest 79 (sailing an RS Venture). This together with a huge range of disabilities gave us food for thought about our future…

Results were as follows:

賽事結果如下：

2.4mR: FOO Yuen Wai—15th overall (using a very old and ‘battered’ Spanish Charter Boat) PUK Chi Yeung—17th overall (as above)

2.4mR: 付遠威 — 整體排名十五（乘坐殘舊的西班牙租用 船隻） Puk Chi Yeung — 整體排名十七（同上） 備註：兩位選手今次表現都比過往四屆世界大賽 為佳。

Note: Notwithstanding, both sailors improved upon their four previous World Championship results.

Hansa 303 Singles: WU Chi Chian (representing Taiwan) took the bronze medal coming 3rd overall. Although Chi Chian was representing his native country, he was in fact introduced to the Hansa 303 by Sailability HK here at HHYC and has trained with us and taken part in our own regattas on a number of occasions. He will be here again in December for the Open Championship.

漢莎303單人帆船： Wu Chi Chian （代表台灣）整體排名第三，取得 銅牌。 雖然Chi Chian代表自己國家出賽，但他是通過白 沙灣遊艇會的「航能」認識漢莎303帆船，並且一 直跟我們一起進行訓練，過往也多次參與我們舉辦 的帆船賽事。十二月的公開賽，他也會參加。 Liong Wun Wah（代表澳門） — 整體排名三十一 Lam Kin Wah Albert — 整體排名三十三

LIONG Wun Wah (representing Macau)—31st overall LAM Kin Wah, Albert—33rd overall

We have to admit that Hong Kong’s results were not as impressive as we would have liked this time, but they are nevertheless still an improvement on previous World Championship achievements for the 2.4mR sailors.

Sailor quotes even from the winners included ‘how tough the conditions were’ and ‘how demanding wind and tide can be’. Yes, we know…

Video of the opening ceremony and the races can be seen on a few World Sailing links on the news section of the Sailability website: www.sailability.org,hk . Some of these include videos of our sailors in action.

今年在西班牙聖瑪利亞港（卡迪斯）舉辦的帕拉世界大 賽，共有28個國家，派出91名帆船手出賽。眾所周知， 自從幾年前殘疾人奧運會不再涵蓋帆船賽事，帆船選手 獲得的支持大為減少，參與大賽的人數也驟減。

值得留意的是，最年輕的選手只有十三歲（漢莎單 人賽事取得第五名），而最年長的是七十九歲（乘 坐RS Venture），還有各種傷健人士參與這次比 賽，讓我們認真思考未來路向。

人數縮減後的香港隊伍，包括付遠威（2.4mR）、Puk Chi Yeung （2.4mR）和漢莎303單人帆船的Lam Kin Wah Albert。

這次比賽，香港代表的表現未如理想，但是對於 2.4mR選手來說，相比之前世界大賽的結果，已經 有所提升。

讓人欣喜的是，澳門第二次派員參加世界大賽，今年派 出Liong Wun Wah（暱稱OK）出戰漢莎303單人帆船 賽。OK在香港白沙灣遊艇會「航能」學習帆船，其後 一直在這裡繼續帆船活動。

勝出賽事的選手也表示「環境異常惡劣」、「風急 浪高」。可不是嘛……

Although many of the IRC boats returned to Hebe Haven (perhaps because of a relatively quick race), the awards party and barbecue at Wong Shek again proved popular with those who enjoy partying and, of course, those taking part in the return race the following day.

英國Sailmakers颱風系列的第二場賽事「大鵬灣通道賽」，在 理想的天氣中展開序幕。通常這場比賽會留到系列末段才進 行，不過這次賽事提前開展，希望風勢更好，六月二十三日星 期日的回程一段，會有更多人參與。

UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series Mirs Bay Passage Race 2019 Baring Asia 1 in the J-80 Class

Conditions proved ideal for the start of the second race in the UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series—the Mirs Bay Passage Race. Normally held towards the end of the series, the event has been brought forward in the hope of more favourable winds and, hopefully, greater participation in the return leg on Sunday, 23 June.

In a brisk southwesterly, first off at 11:00 were the IRC A and B boats. Their 25-nautical-mile course (Course 4) included rounding a Club Mark at 200 degrees before heading for East Nine Pin, Shek Ngau Chau (Gau Tau), Mirs Bay Mark N, Cham Pai Mark, Mirs Bay Mark S, back to Mirs Bay Mark N and finishing off Cham Pai Light.

There Inge Strompf-Jepsen and her team of volunteers recorded finishing times.

Having circled the committee vessel, Jelik got caught in traffic, making it back to the start line, but came in at speed and was soon the front-runner in the fleet of eight IRC A boats and seven IRC B. Five minutes later, Race Officer Julie Mackenzie then sent the 11 IRC C and four Sportsboats on the 17nm Course 5, again rounding the Club Mark, Basalt Island, through an offshore gate before taking Shek Ngau Chau to port followed by the Mirs Bay Mark N and in to the finish.

At 11:10 HKPN A’s 11 boats and five J-80s followed on the same course. Early Bird barged through at the committee boat end but was pushed on-course side (OCS) and obliged to restart.

Last off at 11:15 were the nine HKPN B yachts, also on Course 5.

by Fragrant Harbour Numerous stragglers then appeared but, using her discretion, the RO allowed all to start—making a total of 55 participants.

The Sportsboats and J-80s had chosen to finish at the gate so, in the 10 to 12 knot breeze, it was all over remarkably soon with Havoc taking the honours in Sportsboats followed by Hotwired. Footloose won the J-80 Class with JeNa PaBe 2nd.

Conditions out on the course proved testing with gusts of up to 20 knots! Ichiban had a wild ride home and crossed the line doing close to 12 knots although it finished 3rd in HKPN A, just 15 seconds behind LoTech and 43 seconds behind 1st placed Lisa Elaine.

在凜冽的西南風中，IRC A船和B船首先在早上十一點率先出 發。25海里的航道（四號航道）包括先用200度繞過會所標 記，再駛向東果洲、石牛洲、大鵬灣N標記、浸排標記、大 鵬灣S標記，再返回大鵬灣N標記，到達浸排燈完成。Inge Strompf-Jepsen和義工團隊，身處重點位置記錄完成比賽時 間。 繞過委員會船隻時，Jelik因為和其他船隻擠在一起，需要 返回起點。不過之後速度加快，很快就在八艘IRC A船和七 艘IRC B船中，佔到了有利位置。五分鐘之後，競賽官Julie Mackenzie指示十一艘IRC C船和四艘Sportsboat，出發到十 七海里五號賽道，同樣是繞過會所標記、火石洲、穿過離岸 通道、再經過石牛洲、大鵬灣N標記、到達終點。 到了上午十一點十分，HKPN的十一艘A船和五艘J-80駛出同 一航線。Early Bird往前直推，來到委員會船的船尾，但是因 為搶航，要回到起點。最後一批出航的，是十一點十五分啟 程的九艘HKPN B船，使用的也是五號航線。 之後，各艘掉隊的船隻開始出現，競賽官運用酌情權，允許 全部船隻啟航，令參賽船隻增加到五十五艘。

Sportsboats和J-80選擇在通道完成賽事，於是，在十至十 二海里的微風中，整個賽事就完成了。Sportsboat中勝出的 是Havoc，其後是Hotwired。 J-80級別勝出者是Footloose，第二位是JeNa PaBe。航線 上風速高達二十海里！Ichiban高速回航，以十二海里衝過 終點。HKPN A船最終由Lisa Elaine取得第一，LoTech取 得第二。Ichiban落後第一名43秒、落後第二名15秒，勇奪 第三。 HKPN B組讓分賽由Scrumpy取得冠軍，第二名是 Gecko，Pepper & Salt第三。

Scrumpy claimed handicap honours in HKPN B ahead of Gecko and Pepper & Salt.

搶航賽由Red Kite II取得第一名，但是IRC C組讓分賽，則 被Impala Moll和Dexter II打敗，只得第三。Whiskey Jack 退出比賽。

Red Kite II claimed line honours but was beaten on handicap by the Impala Moll with Dexter II 3rd in IRC C. Whiskey Jack retired.

Blackjack在IRC B組別搶航賽和讓分賽都取得第一名，第 二是Juggerknot，第三Avant Garde。

Blackjack took both line and handicap honours in IRC B with Juggerknot 2nd and Avant Garde 3rd.

IRC A分組戰情激烈，第五到第八位完成的船隻，時間只 相差十八秒。Jelik勝出搶航賽，但是輸給了第三完成的 Mandrake III，後者改變為A3取得不少分數。Lighthorse Alpha+ 取得第二，Seawolf借助零號帆取得分組第一。雖 然很多IRC船隻返回白沙灣，但是黃石的燒烤大會依然大 受歡迎。喜歡派對的朋友和參加第二天會程賽的選手都玩 得非常盡興。

It was very close racing in IRC Division A with a mere 18 seconds separating the finishers from, 5th to 8th place. Jelik claimed line honours but lost out to Mandrake III, which made gains changing to its A3 to finish 3rd. Lighthorse Alpha+ claimed 2nd whilst Seawolf, benefitting most from its Code Zero, won the division.

UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2019, Races 3 & 4

by Fragrant Harbour

Ambush nails the start

A Hong Kong summer can throw up all sorts of testing conditions, particularly along the territory’s eastern seaboard. So it proved for Races 3 and 4 of the UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series 2019.

Whilst it appeared sunny venturing out into Port Shelter, the reality was quite different. The wind swung during the day from 195 to 250 degrees and fell from a high of 14 knots to barely five. One minute it was bright sunshine, the next it was drenching rain as squalls swept the fleet.

Race 3 was the first of two windward/leewards with the top mark set at 1.3 nautical miles and the shorter mark at 1.1nm at an angle of 195 degrees, positioned in the vicinity of the University of Science & Technology.

First off at 11:00 were the eight IRC A and eight IRC B boats.

Both Ambush and Lighthorse Alpha+ paid the penalty of being on-course-side (OCS) and were obliged to restart.

Next off were the nine IRC C boats and six Sportsboats with Hotwired amongst the frontrunners. Ding Dong was shut out at the committee boat end and had to come around to make it across the line. Eight HKPN A yachts and seven J-80s followed before the last start, comprising seven HKPN B entries.

On the downwind approach to the finish, Frank Pong’s Jelik overhauled Baring Asia 1, only to have its massive kite pierced by the little J-80’s mast. Jelik’s spinnaker disintegrated and, by the time the crew had things under control, the TP52, Phoenix, had slipped by and seized line honours . . . by just two seconds! Ironically, Baring Asia 1 was one of two J80s recently brought to HK by Mr Pong!

Meanwhile, the Magic 25, Gnarwhal, opted to retire having failed to round the offset mark at the top of its course.

HEBE JEBES • SEP/OCT 2019

In IRC A, Seawolf took the handicap honours in both races with Phoenix 2nd in the first and Mandrake III 3rd. Lighthorse Alpha+ finished 2nd in Race 4 with Ambush 3rd.

IRC 1 start

Juggerknot and Blackjack traded 1st and 2nd with Juggerknot winning Race 3 and Blackjack Race 4. Avant Garde placed 3rd in Race 3 with Kiasu! 3rd in Race 4.

It was a thrilling finish for the IRC C and HKPN A boats as the breeze kicked in and Gambit, Talkinghead and Amaze, amongst others, surged and careered to the line.

In IRC C, Red Kite II scored the daily double in both races with Whiskey Jack 2nd and Dexter II 3rd in Race 3. Dexter II finished 2nd in Race 4 with the Impala Moll 3rd.

With the race over relatively quickly, the Race Officer, Inge Strompf, reset the course to 220 degrees with marks at 1.15nm and 1nm, wishing later that she had been able to set longer legs. However, this time, for Race 4 in the series, she gave IRC A and B three laps with two for the rest.

The VX One, FAB, won Race 3 in Sportsboats with the Magics No Rush 2nd and Hotwired 3rd. Gnarwhal took the honours in Race 4 followed by Hotwired and No Rush.

XT turned up for Race 4 making a total of 54 boats racing for the day.

Jelik 7 won Race 3 in the J-80 Class, with the Shenzhencrewed Baring Asia 2 in 2nd and Jelik 6 in 3rd. Baring Asia 2 improved in Race 4 to take the honours followed by May 13 and Footloose.

Two boats retired—Avant Garde with an injured crew and Whiskey Jack losing a man overboard, apparently during a gybe.

Sunny Lo’s LoTech claimed line and handicap honours in Race 3 in HKPN A with Temujin 2nd and Generations 3rd.

Temujin took line honours in Race 4 but lost out on handicap to LoTech for 1st by just four seconds. DEA II finished 3rd.

After a final squall the wind eased to barely five knots not making it easy for the trailing boats.

Racing was all over by 2.15 pm followed by a relatively early prize-giving in the Hebe Haven Yacht Club’s Garden Bar, where Jeremy and Tiffany Koo, representing UK Sailmakers, presented the awards.

Baring Asia 1 trails AmaZe

No One Else won both races in HKPN B, taking line and handicap honours. Sleeepy Pigggy was 2nd and Scrumpy 3rd in Race 3 while Windseeker and Raptors finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in Race 4.

Fatal Storm

The inside story of the tragic Sydney-Hobart Race

by Rob Mundle 夏季的香港，海面的情況多變難測，尤其是在東邊的 海岸。2019年的英國Sailmaker颱風系列第三、四場比 賽，正好碰上了嚴峻的考驗。當大家向牛尾海出發的時 候，看來陽光普照，可惜與事實相差很遠。風向從195 度轉為250度，風速從最高14海里跌至5海里。這一刻 天朗氣清，下一刻卻傾盆大雨，狂風席捲所有船隻。 連續兩場比賽都是迎風或順風的，頂標設定為1.3海里， 短標1.1海里，角度為195度。位置在科技大學附近。 八艘IRC A船和八艘IRC B船在早上十一點首先出 航。Ambush和Lighthorse Alpha+分別因為搶航， 要從新啟航。第二批出發的是九艘IRC C船和六艘 Sportsboat，領先的包括Hotwired。Ding Dong被擠在 委員會船船尾，需要繞過船隻才能越過起航線。第三批 出航的，包括八艘HKPN A船和七艘J-80。最後一批是 七艘HKPN B船。 Frank Pong的Jelik順風駛往終點，趕過了Baring Asia 1 ，可是巨型的球帆卻被J-80的小桅桿刺穿了。Jelik的 球帆開始解體，船員控制了場面時，TP 52 Phoenix已 經駛過，拿下了搶航賽。兩艘船的時間只相差兩秒！ 諷刺的是，Baring Asia是Mr Pong最近帶來香港的兩艘 J-80其中一艘！ 同時，Magic 25 的Gnarlwhal因為未能繞過航道頂端的 偏離標記，選擇退出比賽。 風勢增強的同時，IRC C船和HKPN A船衝向終點。當 中包括Gambit、Talkinghead和Amaze，所有船隻紛紛 增速搶航。 由於賽事沒有花掉太長時間，競賽官Inge Strompf把航 道重設為220度，標記1.15海里和1海里，希望之後可以 定下更長的航段。不過，來到第四場賽事，她安排IRC A和B船進行三圈賽道，其他船隻則是兩圈。 XT也出現參加第四場比賽，當天參賽船隻總數為五十 四艘。

HEBE JEBES • SEP/OCT 2019

有兩艘船退出比賽，分別是有船員受傷的Avant Garde，和在改變航道時有人掉進水裡的Whiskey Jack。最後一陣勁風過後，風速只剩不夠5海里，船隻 要完成賽事，一點都不容易。 到了下午2:15，所有賽事已經完成，我們提早在白沙灣 遊艇會花園酒吧進行頒獎典禮。代表英國Sailmakers的 Jeremy和Tiffany Koo，頒發了獎項。 IRC A組別中，兩場比賽都由Seawolf取得讓分賽第 一名。第三場比賽由Phoenix拿下第二名，第三是 Mandrake III。第四場比賽由Lighthorse Alpha+奪得第 二名，Ambush第三。 Juggerknot勝出第三場，第四場卻和Blackjack換了位 置，取得第二。第三場的季軍是Avant Garde，第四場 季軍是Kiasu！ IRC C船組別，兩場賽事都由Red Kite II拿下冠軍。第 三場賽事亞軍是Whiskey Jack，季軍是Dexter II。第四 場比賽由Dexter II拿下第二，Impala Moll第三。

Being the first book to publish the catastrophic events of the 1998 Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race, Fatal Storm tackles the gruesome details of the storm that claimed the lives of six sailors. Being a Sydney-Hobart Race veteran himself, Rob Mundle had full access to the people behind the story. He gives readers an inside look down to every hour of the gale that descended in the predawn hours of 27 December. 57 sailors were rescued from the decks of broken boats or from the raging sea itself. To this day, it is a miracle to have been able to save those sailors under impossible conditions. Said to be the worst sailing disaster in recent history, seven boats were abandoned at sea and five sank.

Stretching over 900 miles from Australia to New Zealand, with winds as strong as those in hurricanes and waves as high as a six-story building, it is a tale that is like no other.

「致命風暴」一書，是第一本描述1998年悉尼霍巴特帆船賽災難事件的書，裡面闡述了奪去六 條船員生命的駭人細節。Rob Mundle曾多次參 加悉尼-霍巴特賽事，對故事裡面的人物有充份 的了解。他詳細描述了12月27日黎明前，狂風 如何逐步降臨。當時有五十七名選手，從破爛的 船上、驚濤駭浪的海上獲救。在如此惡劣的環境 當中，能夠救出多名船員，今天看來，依然感覺 是一場奇蹟。這次比賽，被視為近年最嚴重的災 難。有七艘船被遺棄在海上，五艘船沈沒。從澳 洲到新西蘭的九百里，風勢強如颶風，巨浪捲到 六層樓的高度，這個故事的確駭人聽聞。

ISBN: 978-0-07135-698-5

Sportsboat級別方面，第三場比賽由VX One的FAB勝 出，第二名是Magics的No Rush，Hotwired第三。第 四場比賽由Gnarwhal奪魁，Hotwired和No Rush分別取 得第二和第三位。 J-80級別的第三場比賽，由Jelik 7勝出，船員來自深 圳的Baring Asia 2拿下亞軍，Jelik 6排第三。第四場比 賽，Baring Asia提升表現，拿下冠軍。第二和第三名 分別是May 13 和Footloose。HKPN A組別，Sunny Lo 的LoTech在第三場贏得搶航賽和讓分賽。Temujin 2取 得第二，Generation第三。第四場由Temujin拿下搶航 賽第一名，不過讓分賽則以四秒之差輸給LoTech，第 三名是DEA II。

HKPN B船組別，搶航和讓分賽都由No One Else勝出。 第三場比賽的亞、季軍分別是Sleepy Piggy和Scrumpy。 第四場則由Windseeker和Raptors奪得亞軍和季軍。

Tribute to Vincent G Christian Vincent G Christian, a.k.a. ‘Pinky’

by Mark Newman

TRI-CLUB SNOOKER TOURNAMENT 2019 The HHYC Team was the first to assemble in full team at the Hong Kong Club where the event was held. We did not speak much to each other and I could feel the pressure was a little intense in the snooker room.

We began by ordering our drinks as usual. I took the hint from Gareth who asked for a glass of water, saying that he had just recovered from a sore throat. How could a sailor play snooker without a drink? Anyway, I followed suit, no alcohol and the pressure was building.

We started with singles’ matches, and very soon the first victory surfaced with Gareth beating Nick at ABC (sorry Nick, I have to mention names).

It was a rare win and an important boost to the whole team. Guys, we could do it.

Afterwards, winning matches came from all players of HHYC one after another. By the time we took a break to have dinner, we had won all the Singles matches against ABC while the RHKYC boys could only sip their beers aside as usual. There was no need for us to play the Doubles for HHYC to claim the glorious trophy of the year. I chugged the whole bottle of wine before dinner finished.

白沙灣遊艇會勝出桌球比賽 （CK Chan報導） 賽事在香港會進行，白沙灣遊艇會的隊伍是最先 集合的一隊。大家沒有太多的對話，桌球房裡面 彌漫著緊張的氣氛。

一如以往，我們首先叫了飲料。Gareth表示喉嚨 痛剛剛好轉，只要一杯水，我領會了他的暗示。 帆船選手怎麼可能打桌球卻不喝酒？反正我也跟 他一樣，沒有喝酒。四周的張力越來越強。

我們首先進行單人比賽。第一場很快分出高 下，Gareth打敗ABC的Nick（不好意思，無法匿 名）。這場勝利得來不易，振奮了整個團隊的士 氣。大家充滿了自信！

之後，白沙灣遊艇會的隊員獲得節節勝利，到了 吃晚飯休息時，我們已經勝出全部決戰ABC的 單人賽事，RHKYC的隊員一如既往，只能在一 旁喝啤酒。我們不用進行雙人賽，便已經取下了 年度獎盃。晚飯還未吃完，我已經幹掉了一整瓶 餐酒。

白沙灣遊艇會大勝！

Vince was a much loved and multi-talented sportsman, and as an Editor of note, gave the Club his best. Whether it was for his love of life and for Catherine, or for his numerous friends through sailing, paragliding, scuba diving, parachuting or hockey, it made not a lot of difference as he gave us his all. He was also a knowledgeable and natural teacher who helped many. It did not matter what you were sailing—a big yacht, a small yacht, a fast offshore yacht or a classic as he would help out with grace and good humour. When sailing or on a committee, on a passage race or around the cans, at a rock or a reef in the South China Sea, offshore to Subic Bay or San Fernando, or in Phuket and beyond ... Vince brought his best game face to bear, a calmness and stability that will be sorely missed by us all.

Good bye Vince, you were one of a kind, a rarity and a good friend to us all.

向 Vincent G Christian 致敬 Vincent G Christian又名‘Pinky’ Vince 是一位備受愛戴、多才多藝的運動員，之 前也為遊艇會做了很長時間編輯的工作。他熱 愛生命、深愛 Catherine，通過帆船、滑翔傘、 潛水、跳傘和曲棍球活動，他廣交好友，待人至 誠。Vince 見多識廣，而且樂於助人，是天生的 好老師。無論你坐什麼帆船，大的、小的、離 岸快船、還是經典的帆船，他都會優雅地提供幫 忙，而且不忘開玩笑。無論他是進行競賽還是參 與仲裁、參加拉力賽還是隨意出海暢遊、身處南 中國海還是在 Subic Bay、或是 San Fernando、 在布吉還是更遠的地方…… Vince 都平靜安穩， 勇往直前。獨一無二的 Vince，大家的好朋友， 再見了！我們會非常想念你。

Victory for HHYC!

It is great to see that our summer racing continues to attract a large number of boats. 74 boats have participated in the Typhoon Series and 48 boats in the Summer Series. Kudos to the 12 boats that are out there every weekend participating in both series; such dedication is admirable!

Whilst most races are concluded smoothly without protests or requests for redress, occasionally issues are raised that need to be addressed. At HHYC, we have had a practice to first try to resolve conflicts through amicable discussion.

In future, however, such practice will be reduced to deal only with the most basic of issues, such as OCS and sailing the wrong course. With an aim of educating sailors on the rules and improving our protest practice through experience, more issues will be addressed through more formal hearings. So be warned, comply with the rules or risk more protests by the Race Officer and/or Race Committee!

In this regard, I wish to highlight a number of rules that are commonly broken and need to be taken more seriously by skippers and sailors: Firstly, SSI 7.1.2 which requires boats that are not yet preparing for their start to keep clear of the starting area and of all boats that are in their starting sequence.

This is not just plain courtesy but a serious regulation to improve safety. A number of serially offending boats have already been warned about this and are under a high risk of being protested by the Race Officer. Skippers, please pay more attention to your position on the water after the first preparatory signal.

Secondly, SSI 9.4.1 requires any boat that retires from a race to notify the Race Officer before leaving the race area. The intent of this is to ensure a) that all boats which retire are safe and do not require assistance and b) that the time recorders waiting for the last boat to finish, are not unduly delayed. This issue usually is only a concern during island races when boats may opt to retire at any part of the course and can’t be seen from the Committee Boat. As an example, on the Mirs Bay Passage Race, two boats retired from the race but did not notify the Race Officer; as a consequence the finishing boat waited an additional hour after the last boat finished. Skippers, please be more considerate of the race management team that have given up their time in order for you to race!

龍骨船比賽方面，英國Sailmakers颱風系列賽（八天裡面九場賽事）和 Peroni夏季週末系列賽（五天裡面八場賽事），已經全面展開，為期到八月 底。為了準備這兩個系列賽，加上第一次舉辦的大鵬灣帆船賽，我們需要大 量時間和人手，確保把公平合理的「賽事規則」，妥善地與參賽者溝通。 聽起來，這些管理流程似乎很簡單。但是我可以告訴大家，在制定最後的文 檔之前，我們其實經歷了冗長而激烈的討論。幸好大家目標一致，針對大家 的看法和關注，進行了各項「測試」，也是一次極好的學術練習。說到這方 面，我想藉此機會，向兩位關鍵人士表達謝意：David Rule（椰菜先生）和 Eric Tomter。他們與我一起工作，準備賽事管理文件，已經有四到五年的 時間（椰菜和我的歷史更長）。另外，感謝賽事委員會各委員，在這方面提 供了寶貴的協助，讓我們克服了不少棘手的問題。

Rear Commodore—Sailing

On the keelboat front, both the blue ribbon UK Sailmakers Typhoon Series (nine races over eight race days) and the Peroni Summer Saturday Series (eight races over five race days) are in full-swing until late August. The preparation for these two major series, plus the inaugural Mirs Bay Regatta, required significant time and commitment from a number of key persons to ensure that the ‘rules for racing’ are properly communicated and fair and reasonable. This may sound like a simple administrative process, but I can assure you that the debates and iterations to arrive at the final documents were long and, at times, heated.

Fortunately, we all have the same aim, so ‘testing’ of the views and concerns of each other is quite a satisfying academic exercise. In this regard, I wish to take this opportunity to give a special mention and big thank you to two key people— David ‘Cabbage’ Rule and Eric Tomter. They have worked together with me over the past four to five years (in Cabbage’s case very much longer) on the preparation of race management documents. Thanks also go to the members of the Sailing Committee for general support on this aspect and for assisting, when required, to resolve the ‘unresolvable’.

我們的夏季賽事，繼續吸引了大量船隻參賽，令人鼓舞。颱風系列共有七十 四隻船參賽，而夏季系列則有四十八隻船參加。當中有十二艘船，份外投 入，每個週末都在海上參與賽事，特別值得表揚！ 雖然大部分賽事都順利進行，沒有收到任何抗議或申訴，間中還是有人提出 問題，需要處理。白沙灣遊艇會的一貫做法，是首先進行友好磋商，嘗試解 決衝突。但是，我們將來只會在最基本的課題上（例如OCS和使用錯誤航 道），引用這個做法。為了教育帆船選手和通過經驗改善抗議流程，我們以 後會使用正式聆訊，處理更多的問題。所以敬請大家留意，必須遵守規則， 否則競賽官/ 競賽委員會將會提出更多抗議！ 在這方面，我想列出一些經常出現的違規做法，希望船長和船員以後更加認 真處理： 首先， SSI 7.1.2 要求未開始準備出發的船隻，必須遠離出發區和正在準備 出發的船隻。這樣的做法，不但是為了禮貌，更加是為了提升安全而設定的 規則。針對嚴重違反規則的船隻，我們已經發出了警告，很大可能也會收到 競賽官的抗議。各位船長，請在準備訊號發出之後，留意閣下船隻在水中的 位置。 第二，SSI 9.4.1 要求任何退出比賽的船隻，在離開比賽區之前，必須通知 競賽官。此項規定的目的是確保：1）所有退出的船隻，情況安全，無需協 助；和2）委員會船隻在等待記錄最後一艘完成賽事的船隻時間，不會受到 不必要的阻延。通常這個問題，只會出現在環島賽中，因為參賽船隻可能隨 時選擇退出比賽，而委員會船隻卻看不到退出的船隻。例如大鵬灣拉力賽 中，有兩隻帆船退出比賽，但是沒有通知競賽官，結果最後一艘完成比賽的 帆船，白白多等了一個小時。各位船長，希望大家明白，為了安排賽事讓大 家參與，管理團隊犧牲了不少時間，請大家互相體諒。 海上見～

See you on the water.

Recently, in Pak Sha Wan, the issue of illegally-moored vessels has become increasingly problematic, seriously jeopardising the safety of members of legally mooring vessels. Since the Club does not have the power to remove these illegally moored vessels, we are in close communication with the Marine Department (MarDep) and hope that they will handle this as soon as possible. If any members' vessels are compromised by these illegally-moored vessels, please contact the Marine Office who will help write to the MarDep for you for follow-up action. We also encourage members to write directly to the Marine Department as a further push for them to take action in this regard.

The Club also reminds all members to take into account the safety of other vessels whenever they anchor in Pak Sha Wan. Regarding the long-term parking and storage of motorcycles, the Ops Committee and the General Committee are studying how best to deal with this and ensure there are sufficient spaces available for normal use by visiting members, rather than spaces being occupied on a long-term storage basis. 浮泡維修保養已陸續開始進行，希望在颱風來臨之前能全面處理。

To paraphrase from a feasibility study written in May 2001, “The concept for a 24HR Charity Dinghy race stemmed from several conversations around the HHYC Bar. The event started out as a very small affair, the thought being to just use the current HHYC fleet of six enterprise dinghies with crews drawn from club members. A charity element was subsequently incorporated and with that a higher profile with a more open field of competitors and a target fleet of around 15 boats.”

The new hardstand and marina had not yet been built, so the race village was set up on old hardstanding (now the car park) with boats changing over on the pontoon in front of the Garden Bar. The lower parking bays of the speedboat racks were cleared out and tarpaulins set up to make team headquarters. Certain key elements, however, remain unchanged, notably the 24HR bar and party atmosphere that prevailed from day one!

Entries came from HHYC, RHKYC and ABC who each entered a mix of adult and youth teams. The STA fielded four entries with the Outward Bound School, DEA and a couple of individual entries rounding off the field. The fleet comprised the Club’s Enterprises and Topaz together with a number of Laser Stratos loaned by the RHKYC. As it was in October 2002, 16 boats lined up for the start of the inaugural race. Well, to be accurate, 15 boats were on the start line, with the ABC team starting two laps late as they had tried to squeeze in a morning’s work and got stuck in traffic. The Outward Bound School Stratos found themselves with nowhere to go with 15 seconds to the gun on the short line set immediately in front of the Hebe Haven Yacht Club, and thus claimed the honours for the

first OCS in the recorded history of this event. All the other boats got away cleanly with Team AON, crewed by Sportsboat sailors shooting out of the blocks on the shy reach to Mark 2 to establish a handy lead over chasing pack.

With a steady breeze at the start, the Stratos soon showed a clean pair of heels to the more elderly Enterprises and the youthful Topaz. Within half an hour, however, the wind faded slightly and the Enterprises started to hold their own against the more powerful Stratos. In the youth teams, the Hebe Haven Hooligans (as they were then called) got off to a cracking start and led the two Topaz entries from the STA and the rest for the first few laps. As the day drew into evening and with the breeze fading further, the RHKYC Stratos overhauled early leaders Team AON to establish a lead which though repeatedly challenged as the hours ticked by was never overturned.

Team “CouldaDoneBetter” from RHKYC took out the top honours, collecting both line and handicap wins with the STA Laser Stratos in 2nd place and Team AON’ Stratos 3rd.

The STA sailors produced a strong showing to also pick up 1st Enterprise and 1st Topaz prizes.

On the water, the event had certainly met (and perhaps exceeded) expectations, producing close competitive racing and a fun atmosphere, but it was when it came time to tally up the funds raised for the Children’s Cancer Foundation (in the region of HK$ 400,000) that the scale of our success became apparent. The mix of competition, carnival and charity has proved a winning formula and the 24HR Charity Dinghy race has grown both in stature and numbers to become a major Hong Kong event.

THE FIRST 24HR CHARITY DINGHY 2002 RACE

Bellies and benevolence

Giving back to the local community

The first organising committee was formed in early 2002 and was chaired by Roger Eastham. Committee members included Tets and Carol Sakai, Mark Houghton, John Grendon, Thomas Siu and Russ Parker.

Very special thanks for the first 24HR Charity Dinghy race go to: • • • • • • • • • • •

RHKYC—supply of boats and equipment; Hong Kong Marina—moorings (and patience); West Lancs. Yacht Club—inspiration and invaluable advice on lap counting systems; Russ Parker (Pedal Cart)—guidance and equipment (canopies); Evian—water for the teams; Jardine Security—on-site security; Piercey Marine Equipment—refurbishment of enterprise dinghies; Tets Sakai and Dion Houghton—refurbishment of enterprise dinghies; Mark and Sara Houghton (Leadgate Industries)—lighting; David and Grace Cullen (Farfalla)—trophies; and Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club—bouncy castle.

摘自一份2001 年 5 月編寫的可行性報告—「24 小時劃艇比賽的概念源自 HHYC 酒吧的幾次談 話。初期的設想只是一場非常小型的賽事，即使 用 HHYC 現有的 6 艘 Enterprise 劃艇，隊員 則從俱樂部會員中挑選。賽事後來加入了慈善因 素，而賽事規格也進一步提升，參賽選手對外開 放，而目標艦隊則包括約 15 艘船隻。」 雖然第一屆賽事與現在的賽事有許多相似之處， 但當時的規模顯然要小得多。當時尚未修建停船 坪和船塢，所以「賽船村」只能建在老的停船坪 上（現在的停車場），船隻只能在花園酒吧前面 的浮碼頭上調頭。快艇架的低層停泊港灣被清理 出來，並用帆布建造了船隊總隊。但是賽事的主 要元素仍然未變，特別是 24 小時酒吧和從第 1 天就開始彌漫的歡樂氣氛。 HHYC、RHKYC 和 ABC 派出的參賽隊伍是成人 和小童組合。STA 派出 4 個隊伍，分別是外展訓 練學校、DEA 和兩個個人隊伍。船隊則有俱樂部 的 Enterprises 和 Topaz，以及幾艘由 RHKYC 借出的 Laser Stratos。 16 艘船於 2002 年 10 月排隊就緒，準備開始開 幕賽事。不過，準確來說，起跑線上應該是 15 艘 船，因為 ABC 船隊早上還在爭分奪秒地工作，又 遇上塞車，所以比其他船隊慢了 2 圈。外展訓練 學校 Stratos 15 秒後即到達位於白沙灣遊艇俱樂 部正前方的短線上的發槍處，得到這一盛事歷史 上的首個 OCS 榮耀！所有其他船隻都被拋在後 面，只有由運動員組成的 AON 船隊突破重圍，以

微弱的差距到達第2個標誌，及時地全力追趕。 比賽開始時微風習習，Stratos 很快就遙遙領先於 年齡較長的 Enterprises 和年紀較輕的 Topaz。 但是，半個小時之後風勢漸弱，Enterprises 努力 作戰，奮力追趕實力強勁的 Stratos。至於少年 組方面，「白沙灣 Hooligans」（當時的名稱） 首發表現出色，在開頭幾圈中領先 STA 的兩個 Topaz 船隊和其他船隊。當夜幕降臨時，風勢變 得更弱，RHKYC Stratos 趕超早先的領先船隊 AON，此後一直領先，雖然陸續有船隊試圖超越 AON，但一直未能成功。 來自 RHKYC 的船隊 “CouldaDoneBetter” 最終 奪冠，取得直線和障礙賽的雙料冠軍，STA 的 Laser Stratos 取得第 2 名，而 AON Stratos 則取得第 3 名。STA 的選手表現出現，奪得 Enterprises 和 Topaz 的第 1 名。 水上的盛事已經實現（或許還超過）期望的目 標，既有激烈的比賽，也充滿歡樂的氣氛，但 是，直到計算為兒童癌症基金會（香港地區為 HK$400,000）籌措的善款時，這一盛事的規模 才顯現出來。競賽、狂歡和慈善這一組合是成功 的法寶，而這項 24 小時的比賽活動從規模和參 賽隊伍上來看，已經成為香港一項重大的賽事。 首屆組織委員會成立於 2002 年初，由 Roger Eastham 擔任主席。委員會成員包括 Tets、Carol Sakai、Mark Houghton、John Grendon、Thomas Siu 和 Russ Parker。
