Wishing all of you Kung Hey Fat Choi and a prosperous and healthy Year of the Monkey.
There is encouraging news on the lease renewal for all members, as we have been asked to present the originals of the Title Document to the Legislative Council for their further action. Suffice to say—with the 6th hold-over period terminating at the end of April, we are now close to the long-awaited lease renewal.
I was invited to the Spring Gathering and Cultural Festival on 2 February, organised by the Sai Kung Rural Committee, outside the Tin Hau Temple in Sai Kung town centre. The ceremony started at 9.15 am with worshipping at the temple and as a traditional fishing village spirits were high among all Sai Kung residents who attended. As the four giant dragons and over 40 lions danced to the beat of huge drums and cymbals—excitement abounded and my ears were left ringing for the rest of the day!
The lion dance parade and boat blessing ceremonies by a dancing lion were also well attended at the Club on 21 February. These are traditional practices adhered to by local boat owners to bring them good luck and safety on the water throughout the coming year. The event has also developed to include a dignitaries buffet when Club Committee Members get the chance to meet the village representatives and government officials in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
The Double Handed Race on 28 February was a prelude of things to come as we gear up for our regular racing season—commencing with the Spring Saturday Series on the 5 March.
See you out there again!
Spring is definitely in the air and we can finally see temperatures rising and sunnier days ahead. This year we are all about bringing together the Hebe community and we have a number of exciting events and promotions coming up. We will shortly be offering DIY table top BBQs in the Garden Bar—so watch this space. The ‘Hebe Hoedown’ will be happening on 30 April, which will be an evening of cooking competitions, live music, BBQ, hog roast and lots of dancing. Grab your cowboy and cowgirl hats and get ready for what will be a great club event. We have added a little twist to our Singapore and Malaysian buffet on 18 March, with live cooking and a noodle station, so book now to save a seat. We are delighted to re-launch our Women on Water (WoW) programme, which will begin with a six week course, covering HKSF Level 1, starting on 21 April. If you have children that sail and want to get more involved with the wonderful world of sailing, sign up, it aims to be a great way to get out on the water and have fun. The Jeanneau Spring Saturday Series begins on 5 March and our doors will be open to members and the general public on 20 March for the ever popular Hebe Haven SLAM Sailing Centre Open Day, which will offer free experiences of stand-up paddle boards, kayaks and dinghy sailing. Come and support the Club and bring your friends along. Easter will soon be upon us and we have lots going on at the Club to keep our younger members busy. Our popular Adventure Watersports Week will run for two weeks from 28 March and our Easter Brunch will be available on 27 March—with a visit from the Easter Bunny as well as lots of fun and games for all the family. We are continuing to make improvements around the Club, so again we apologise for disruptions to the car park whilst the new boat racks are being engineered and put in place. May I also take this opportunity to kindly request that all members mooring along the pontoons keep the area free of clutter and that ropes and hosepipes are neatly stowed. Please note that the HHYC Annual Staff Dinner will take place on 10 March and the club will close at 4pm to allow all staff, both front of house and back office, to attend. As the warmer weather comes, the Club will get busier during the weekends so please be reminded that children under the age of 15 should be supervised by an adult at all times. Happy Easter!

我們 Hebe Dragons 度過了 2015 繁忙的一年後,在 2016 新一年開始有新的訓練計劃,除了平時的個人技術訓練外,還加入了 Team Racing 訓練,加強隊員體能。關於體能訓練,我們感謝教練 Manfred 以他的私人時間當我們的義務教練,每星期進行一次約 1.5 小時的陸地訓練,我們將於下一期詳細介紹訓練的內容和進度。
另外,我們在此恭喜五位隊員 Nicolle、Pasu、Jasmine、Pei 和 Bincker 入選香港體育學院的精英青少年運動員 Hong Kong Sports Institute Junior Squad。Pasu 入選及代表香港參加 ASAF Youth Cup 三月於新加坡的比賽。Pei、Emily 和 Bincker 三位 Hebe Dragons 隊員也入選代表香港於五月在斯里蘭卡的 IODA Asian Championship 2016,這是一年一度 IODA 中的大型國際賽事。
由於隊員們參加大型的海外比賽的個人支出龐大,希望在未來的日子計劃一些籌款活動,例如:洗車、在開放日義賣等等,希望值此可幫助提升 youth development fund,透過這些義務活動可幫助真正有需要而又表現出色的青少年選手。希望來年,隊員們會繼續努力,參加在本地及一些海外的比賽,並取得更好成績,為本會增光。
After a very busy 2015, the Hebe Dragons have a new training plan for the beginning of 2016 which includes personal technique training, team racing training and physical training for team members. A warm ‘thank you’ to Manfred for spending 1.5 hours a week as our volunteer coach training us. We will update you with more details of the content and progress of the training in the next issue.
Congratulations to our five Dragons; Nicolle, Pasu, Jasmine, Pei and Bincker who were selected for the Hong Kong Sports Institute Junior Squad. Pasu has been selected to represent Hong Kong at the ASAF Youth Cup in March in Singapore; and Pei, Emily and Bincker have all been selected to represent Hong Kong at the IODA Asian Championship 2016 in Sri Lanka in May. The IODA Asian Championship is a medium to large annual international race.
As we foresee a large personal expense for our team members to participate in these overseas races, we are planning some fundraising events for the youth development fund and to help needy and promising teenage sailors through volunteer work. We are looking forward to the team members continuing their efforts in the New Year participating in local and overseas races and in getting good results for the Club.

On 5 and 6 December, ABC organised its traditional last regatta of the year. It was a record-breaking event for the Optimists class with close to 80 boats thanks to the participation of some Chinese clubs from Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Our Dragons were represented in full force. It was also the last HKODA ranking regatta and a selection for some sailors to participate to the IODA Asians, IODA Worlds and IODA Europe. Sadly, due to the very strong monsoon winds, the first day had to be cancelled and the AP flag remained up on shore with winds gusting 30 – 35 knots. All sailors, were of course, very disappointed and returned to HHYC very early.
On Sunday, it was a different story with light to moderate winds. The pressure was high on the Dragons, as well as Alfred, as a few of them could have their fate changed over the rankings and be selected for the 2016 Asians and most importantly, the grail event, the 2016 Worlds. Nicolle started well in the first race by reaching 8th position followed by Pasu in 10th and Jasmine in 13th. At that time, all of them could have their ticket to the prestigious event until the second race where Nicolle and Jasmine were leading the race in 1st and 2nd position up to
the downwind mark. Shortly after, disaster struck when Nicolle capsized. Jasmine had to maintain her lead to the finish but was caught up at the last minute by Dolf Hendriksen and Duncan Gregor. A second disaster struck when Pei and Timothee were in the 10th position and instead of securing their place up to the end, both of them went like magnets to the mark where 50 boats were fighting to round it. From the coach boat views, we could only hear some noise—starboard's shouts. Nevertheless, all the boats were immobilized and none of them could move forward. It was really chaotic, but that's the fun part of the Optimist sailing; it’s all about tactics.
The third race start of the day saw at least two or three general recalls which ended up with a black flag being hoisted. It was terrible news for Jasmine and Emily who were disqualified. It was however very good for Nicolle who ended up third.
Back on shore, all the teams were able to enjoy a double prize-giving with the HKODA ranking ladder for the best sailors of the year and the ABC one.

Sadly, Gabriel Ma could not participate due to his school exams.
In the 2015 Tai Mei Tuk Regatta, I received my first prize and I was over the moon.
Hello, I am Gabriel Ma, I am ten years old and a primary five student. Needless to say, my favourite activity is sailing. I also like cycling, swimming and playing the violin in my leisure time. I first sailed a keelboat with my dad when I was just five years old. My dad then arranged for me to participate in the level 1 – 2 sailing scheme when I was nine. After that, I competed in the HKODA 2014 ranking race, which was the first race I had ever completed in my sailing life. Since then, I have loved sailing very much. In the 2015 Tai Mei Tuk Regatta, I received my first prize and I was over the moon.
During the summer last year, most clubs were closed. I was lucky that Alfred granted me the opportunity to join his team—the Hebe Dragons. I was delighted and I will give my best to the Hebe Dragons in the future.
大家好,我是Gabriel Ma,今年10歲,讀小學五年級。不用說 ,我的興趣是帆船。我也喜歡騎單車、游泳和拉小提琴。我 5 歲的時候第一次跟爸爸坐龍骨船出海。爸爸在我 9 歲的時候,安排我參加 1 至 2 級的帆船課程。後來,我參加了 HKODA 2014 排位賽,那是我的帆船生涯當中,第一次參加比賽。從此,我便更愛上帆船。在 2015 大尾篤帆船賽(2015 Tai Mei Tuk Regatta),我得到第一個獎項,令我雀躍不已。
去年夏天,大部分遊艇會都關閉了。我幸運地得到 Alfred 讓我有機會加入他 Hebe Dragons 的團隊。我很高興,也會盡力為Hebe Dragons 做到最好。

Kowloon Cup 2016onboard Ichiban16 & 17 January Words Simon Jones
What a weekend of sailing and weather. To those who didn’t make it—you missed a good one. The forecast varied widely during the week beforehand, but we mostly had strong winds on Saturday and light winds on Sunday. With rain forecast for both days, the best we could hope for was a few hours in the dry. Those who were prepared to ignore the forecast and/or enthusiastically take on the elements were rewarded with some great sailing; great seafood at Yau Ley, and Carlsberg Beer from our sponsor.
Race 1 on Saturday saw 16 boats head out for the single start at 14.30. The smallest boat in the fleet, Lazy Piggy, then thought better of it and turned around and returned to the Club—an understandable decision. It was a windy and wet affair but fortunately the rain abated for most of the actual race. Two hours around a course that is rarely used; Trio (p), Bay Island (s), Bluff (s), Table (s) and LPB. With no true downwind run requiring the spinnaker, boats opted for the safe option of keeping it in the bag. The results: Talkinghead first, Ichiban second, Temujin third, and RB fourth, with the latter three boats all finishing on the water within one minute 33 seconds of each other (this was notable given how Sunday panned out). Also notable was that the first 11 of 13 boats to finish were within 8.5 minutes of each other on adjusted time—an indication that the HKPN handicaps are fairly accurate.
Race 2 on Sunday was a pursuit race with staggered times according to handicap. When the early boats gathered in the Club around 9.30, it was wet, foggy and, most significantly, still as can be—not a puff of wind. By 10.00 there were, at least, signs that the forecast of 6 knots (yippee) by 11.00 was possible. What the crews were to experience over the following four hours, however, was very much unexpected. Scrumpy was first off at 10.26, with Ichiban next up at 10.54, Jive was two minutes later and RB and Temujin followed at 11.00. Outrageous was last of the nine boats to start at 11.38.
By 11.00, the wind was up around 10 knots and the rain had nearly stopped—the day was looking more promising. Scrumpy was approaching Table Island by the time Ichiban got started, but a steady breeze under spinnaker took Ichiban to Table and Trio before RB, Temujin and Jive started to appear in our rear-view mirror, albeit it some way behind.
On Ichiban, a successful gybe would be required for the rounding of Trio, with some discussion in the cockpit as to whether a spinnaker was actually the right sail for the journey to Bluff—but unfortunately, somewhere in the process the port guy released from the end of the pole! This meant we were on a beam reach with a high-flying spinnaker which meant difficult helming! A quick decision was made to ditch the spinnaker (almost literally, as much seawater was collected in the drop)
so bear away right to shield the spinnaker by the main. A few minutes were lost by the time the foredeck was sorted out enough to unfurl the genoa. It is really pleasing when these sorts of issues are resolved efficiently and quickly—well done to all. Others might view it as yet another avoidable mistake!
As Ichiban approached the channel between Bluff & Basalt, with RB and Temujin slowly eating up the separation gap, a boat could be seen floundering in seemingly light wind (the approaching boats had about 10 – 15 knots at the time), surely not Scrumpy—it was. Ichiban chose a mid-channel course and picked out the shifting and fluky wind patches as she went to take the lead. RB and Temujin kept left and initially caught Ichiban up before we got the better of the shifts in the middle and regained some of the separation we had lost. Two tacks later, Ichiban had rounded Bluff and was heading back to Trio, but with Temujin—who had taken a tighter line around Bluff—right on her tail. Ichiban was the first to hoist a spinnaker, with RB following suit about two to three minutes behind. Temujin eventually opted for their Assy (which they later admitted was not a good call).
Ichiban pulled away from Temujin and reached Trio first and rounded without a hitch, dropping the spinnaker as she did so, but both RB and Temujin were only one or two minutes behind. Heading up to the Kowloon Cup Mark (later to be the finish mark) north of Bay Island, Ichiban was eventually overhauled by both boats. There was a point of convergence on the way north when RB on Port passed just ahead of both Ichiban and Temujin on Starboard, to move into first place. With Temujin then second and Ichiban in third it was looking like all three boats would have equal overall scores if the race finished that way.
Temujin, however had other ideas and soon took the lead and was the first to start the circuits of Kowloon Cup Mark and Bay Island Mark (BIM) with more than an hour to go before the scheduled finish at 14.30. Temujin went for spinnaker for the first run to BIM and as RB opted not to and Ichiban decided that her best option was to protect third place from Jive, who was some way behind, the positions were set until the finish. As a safety precaution, Ichiban did hoist the spinnaker for the third lap to ensure that Jive could definitely not catch up even if the wind died, but it was not really needed. Temujin duly crossed the line 14.30.35 (presumably they had slowed to ensure that we all didn’t have to go round again); RB crossed 3.5 minutes later and Ichiban at 14.41.33; followed by Jive which was 6.5 minutes further behind, to complete the only four boats to do three laps. Four other boats, with Talkinghead the first of those, completed two laps.
The washout of which was that Ichiban’s second in Race 1 and third in Race 2 was not good enough to retain the Kowloon Cup, as Temujin’s third and first gave them one point less. With RB and Talkinghead both on six points, third place was awarded to the latter on the basis of her first place in Race 1.
At the prize-giving held at Yau Ley Restaurant, the ‘podium’ prizes, donated by Neil Pryde online store, ASAP-Direct, were given out for both races and for the overall Regatta. The Kowloon Cup was handed over to Temujin’s skipper by the skipper of last year’s winner, Ichiban, with a promise to win it back next year!

Sin Fung 2015 Winter Saturday Series
onboard Ichiban Words Simon Jones
Good wind, but 1 – 2 knots more might have been better—with Bleu on HKPN 1300 and Scrumpy at HKPN 1260—the chances of a podium were very small. Only six onboard, so hard work for everyone, especially the cockpit crew on the spinnaker legs. Two long races set by RO Julie—on Course B4 (an old friend)—both lasting almost one hour.
Race 1—start OK, first leg OK but maybe a bit late with the spinnaker drop. Heading to top mark on the second leg, the helm was forced to tack on top of Jive (due to the pesky Dragons tacking across Ichiban onto starboard, legitimately) 360 penalty to us. Result: 4th, 50 seconds behind Jive, but five minutes behind No One Else in second. Both Scrumpy and Bleu forgot to go through the start/finish line on the upwind leg, so didn’t trouble the scorers!
Race 2—We made the one error at the start that it is always wise to avoid—getting pinned on the high side of Bits & Pieces. Usually this means getting pushed into the Committee Boat, but this time we were pushed over the line at the pin end! Getting back to the start line obviously cost us time, but fortunately other boats were not close so there was space to do it quickly. Result: 5th, five minutes behind Jive in third and No One Else in fourth. Scrumpy learned her lesson from Race 1 and won, but Bleu didn’t and missed the gate again!
It was a fantastic day on Saturday and this continued into the evening with Rob’s birthday bowling bash and dinner.
Race 3—great start, but tacked a bit early which put us on the right-hand side of the course and last into the first mark. A successful spinnaker hoist and gybe put us back in contention. The rest was plain sailing (sorry for the pun), with some great crew work and the decision to go upwind in the middle of the course, which paid off—even if it did give the foredeck less time to prepare heading for the top mark. Result: Scrumpy, Ichiban, Bits and Pieces all within 31 seconds; Tara in fourth.
Race 4—more of the same—but this time we made the first upwind tack later on each round putting us closer to the mark each time—squeezing the foredeck crew again (who rose to the challenge)! With only Bits’ in front—and close enough to them—we knew we were in a great position heading to the last mark. We decided to go close to the mark with starboard pole and a late manoeuvre—pole down, main gybe and free fly spinnaker, genoa out on starboard side—into the mark. Just about to start when the wind shifted about 45 degrees to the right which needed quick change in decision—genoa out on port side, spinnaker down, pole away, then gybe—plus a late adjustment to goose wing into the mark, as the wind came behind again. It was great work by everyone and very smooth.
Result: Ichiban first, by two minutes 13 seconds over Bits & Pieces and Scrumpy in third.
The difference! Perfect wind; clean hull, nine crew with the ninth person being our new addition, Chris, who added some experience to the foredeck. Welcome Chris and very well done to all the crew. Someone even commented on that there was no shouting! Not wholly true but definitely smoother than usual.
Next race on 5 December is an islands race—which will be great if the same conditions prevail. To spur you on the following is the overall position: Bits & Pieces—7 points (with 3 to drop); Scrumpy 11 points (with 6 to drop); Ichiban 12 points (with 5 to drop) and Jive 18 points (with 7 to drop).

Apologies for the tardiness but it took me this long to recover from the ‘traumas’ of Saturday. Results, what results? There are almost none to report, nine boats started, but only three finished!
Two other boats crossed the finish line, but one was DSQ and the other, Ichiban, was declared as ‘retired’; both for the same offence—not going round Bay Island. Ours was a conscious—though ultimately regrettable—decision, as we had torn the genoa on the approach to Bay, and by the time we bore away and furled the headsail sufficiently to continue sailing, we were quite a way from Bay Island. I say ‘regrettable’ as having battled through the rest of the three-hour race, I wish we had taken the 10 extra minutes to go back to Bay and circuit the island. In all honesty, we were all too cold and wet to make the right decision.
Synopsis—nine onboard as CK joined us (good to have you with us in the difficult conditions, CK) together with newbie Elaine (welcome). Strong wind at the start; reef in or not (yes); two minutes to go and the wind dropped, so reef out as we crossed the line. No momentum for about 10-15 minutes, while others sailed away from us towards Steep. Then, the rain started. Wind on the beam, still very light—debate—spinnaker up—good decision. Wind strengthened—caught up with Scrumpy, No One Else and Tara. First mistake, we headed for Steep and not ‘Steep Island Mark’, so too far right—probably lost 2 – 3 minutes to recover that one. Steep, and then back to Trio, then Bluff (up the channel) by which time we had almost closed on Jive. Left at the top of bluff and three tacks to get clear and head to Bay Island. Where is the Bay Island Mark (BIM) as there is always a BIM? Where is that BIM? Given the wind conditions/direction, BIM must be to the west of the Island where it has been in most recent races, we surmised. No BIM‚—Jive heading back up to circuit Bay Island. It was still raining.
Ichiban stayed quite high, so only a short tack into Bay—but that’s when it all went wrong for us. There was a shout from the foredeck, “There is a rip in the gunny! How Big? Fourth panel down is torn right along the seam.” That’s not good then—race over! Bear away, what’s the solution? Furl in the top section of sail. That left us with about a third of the headsail and had we realised that we would still get 7 – 8 knots down to Table Island, I would have probably headed back to recover ground and round Bay! Anyway, being obstinate, we finished the course and headed home. Fortunately the rain stopped as we got to the mooring, but it was about 6.45 by the time we got sorted and into the warmth of the Club.
Result: Prize-giving had already concluded with Scrumpy first, Xterminator second, Bits third, Ichiban fourth and Jive fifth. I declared Ichiban’s retirement and surprise that Scrumpy had an elapsed finish time only five minutes after us (something odd there?). Scrumpy’s skipper was found—“Did you go round Table? Yes.” In the protest hearing Scrumpy admitted only going round a ‘virtual BIM’—which was effectively what we did. I wonder if they saw and followed Ichiban!
After all that, the good news is that we still lie second in the Series, after the one permitted discard: Bits & Pieces 7 points, Ichiban 12 points, Scrumpy 13 points, and Jive 14 points are the only ones in contention. What we have to do is beat Jive in the last two races and a podium place is ours. Bring on the wind!
In closing, very well done to all the masochists in the crew—especially those that enthusiastically embraced the whole miserable experience (maybe my view was coloured by the torn sail ($$$) and not completing the course)!
An interesting day on Saturday—started off with almost no wind (Windguru won that battle with HKO) and none of the expected sun. Eventually, though, both kicked in to make it a great few hours on the water.
You will recall that the target was to get third on the podium – despite starting in second place one point ahead of Scrumpy and two ahead of Jive. The focus on beating Jive, as the handicap difference with Scrumpy was expected to be too much.
Race 6—started in 3 knots and boats struggled to get going and to keep momentum. Despite the zephyr winds, we managed to keep Ichiban going whilst others—most surprising including Bits & Pieces—flogged around, especially as the first boats put up spinnakers at the top mark only for the wind to shift about 150 degrees! Just as the Race Officer decided to shorten the race to finish at the bottom mark—now a beat—the wind lifted from around 3 – 5 knots to 10 knots and most boats rounded that mark and headed up to the Committee boat line, not realising the finish line had been moved. A bit of confusion! No confusion for Ichiban though as I was pretty sure that third place was in the bag, with Scrumpy and Jive ahead. This meant that these three boats were all on the same points going into the final race—not good for Ichiban, as Jive would be difficult to beat in 8 – 10 knot winds.
Race 7—by now the sun was out and the wind was in, so much improved sailing conditions to look forward to. Just after 4.00 pm, the race was started with the top mark around 120 degrees further east from its Race 6 position. The wind stayed strong enough for two circuits and Ichiban managed a mid-table position from our assessment—critically more than the one minute handicap behind Jive (so overall second place was gone). Richard started the stopwatch and we watched Scrumpy head for the finish while we headed for home. Scrumpy finally finished 16.5 minutes behind Ichiban—more than the handicap difference of nine minutes, so third place looked secure. Ichiban was fifth in the final shake up of that race.
Overall Result—Bits & Pieces 13 points; Jive 16 points; Ichiban 20 points; Scrumpy 24 points. I should mention that Ichiban won a prize (bottle of Rum) for one of the ‘most festive’ boats on the water—fantastic what a few Santa hats (thanks to Jayne) and a few strips of tinsel will get you!
Thanks for all who sailed in the series—generally Ichiban had good crew numbers. Welcome to Hugh, Chris, Marie and Elaine who have been added to the crew list and sailed with us, at least once—one of these days I will actually have to make a choice due to too many crew (hasn’t happened yet!) Overall third is a commendable performance given the variable conditions and wide range of handicaps across the competitors.
另外有2艘船也衝過了終點,但一艘被取消資格,另一艘(Ichiban)被宣布「退休」;兩艘船犯了同樣錯誤:沒有繞過 Bay Island。儘管最終感到遺憾,但我們是故意作出這個決定的,因為我們在接近 Bay 時撕破了大三角帆,當我們改變航道並捲起前帆以繼續航行的時候,我們已離 Bay Island 很遠了。我說「遺憾」是因為接下來還有三小時的賽程,我希望我們有 10 分鐘額外的時間返回Bay 和繞圈。坦白說,那時我們都太冷太濕,難以作出正確的決定。
簡介:九名船員在船上,CK 加入了我們(CK,很高興在困難時刻有你跟我們在一起),還有新船員 Elaine(歡迎你)。 起步時強風;有否收帆篷(有);距離出發還有2分鐘時,風停了,我們越線時放開帆篷。約10至15分鐘沒有動力,而其他船隻已越過我們,向着青洲前進。接着,開始下雨了,一陣微風吹來,但經一番辯論後,我們還是決定揚起三角帆,這是正確的決定。風增強了,我們追上 Scrumpy、No One Else 和 Tara。第一個錯誤,我們向着青洲進發而不是向着「青洲標記」進發,所以過於靠右,我們大約花了 2 至 3 分鐘去糾正這個錯誤。到了青洲,然後返回 Trio,然後到 Bluff(海峽之上),當時我們已追近 Jive。在 Bluff 左邊然後三次轉向,向着Bay Island 進發。總有一個 Bay Island Mark(BIM),但 Bay Island Mark 在哪裏?BIM 在哪裏?基於風的情況和風方向,我們估計,BIM 一定是在島的西面,如同最近多場賽事一樣。沒有BIM,Jive 返回 Bay Island 繞圈。雨仍未停。
成績: 獎 項 頒 發 予 第 一 名 的 S c r u m p y , 第 二 名 的Xterminator,Bits 第三名,Ichiban 第四而 Jive 第五。我宣布 Ichiban 退休,而且很驚訝地發現,Scrumpy 的完成時間慢我們五分鐘(是否有點奇怪?)。我們找到Scrumpy 的船長,問道:「你們有環繞 Table 嗎?」「有。」在上訴聆訊中,Scrumpy 承認只是環繞了「虛擬的BIM」,這正是我們所做的事情。我懷疑他們是否看見和跟着 Ichiban!
The 2015 Asia Pacific Etchells Championships was once again well received as the warm up regatta for the subsequent Etchells World Championships. In the sailing world it is often believed that a little local knowledge goes a long way—and when you combine that with talent, skill and fantastic team work—you have RacerX2 skippered by HHYC member Mark Thornburrow who won the whole event!
The six-race series was held over three days of very contrasting conditions, putting competitors through a huge variety of challenges. Day one the winds were very light and shifty, resulting in a very tactical day in which only one race was sailed. Day two provided big breeze and bigger swells resulting in three physically exhausting races. The final day saw two races held in much more pleasant sailing conditions.
Whilst it may take a little more effort to get to the waters off the Nine Pins from our home bases of Pak Sha Wan or the Harbour, the unprotected race area with minimal shipping proved to be well worth the effort. With the event being hosted out of the Clear Water Bay Country Club Marina the daily sail out to the race course was made very easy.
Mark is currently off participating in more exciting World Championship events and Round the Island record attempts on his thrilling looking new multihull. We wish him luck with all the current challenges and look forward to hearing about them in the near future.

Looking back over the previous months, the weather has been utterly miserable! December and January rainfall was double the normal levels and I wrote this article on Hong Kong’s coldest day since 1957, while reflecting on my decision to buy the cheaper air conditioner without heat. It’s not easy typing in woolly gloves! It seems that ABC made a wise decision to postpone the Four Peaks Race and we look forward to the rerun on 12 November.
That said, it was perfect weather for the COA’s Commodore’s Christmas Cup. A 25 knot tailwind and bright sunshine propelled the fleet down to Middle Island for a barbecue and overnight at RHKYC. Hebe yacht Amarante won both legs and Jive got third place in leg 1. What a great weekend!
Despite the persistent rain, three boats turned out for the HHYC Boxing Day Treasure Hunt ending up at Yau Ley for a seafood lunch. Ate came first, Exterminator second and Ricochet third.
Then, as if by magic, the sun came out for the HHYC New Year’s Day BBQ attracting 18 yachts, four dinghies and about 100 people to Hap Mun Beach, with many arriving by club sampan. Ukuleles and flutes played, people sang and screaming children joined the beach games, which culminated in a monster tug-of-war. There was an impressive range of barbecue creations on display from monster beef ribs, whole chickens, legs of pork, racks of lamb, cardboard box roasts, sides of salmon, moules mariniere, kebabs…right down to the humble sausage. If you
have never joined this HHYC institution, make sure you put it in the diary for next year! If you are curious about cardboard box cooking, visit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfvW0hoS438
The rain returned for the Kowloon Cup, but despite that, 13 yachts and their resolute crews completed the two-day regatta. Day one was an islands course, while day two was a pursuit race culminating at High Island (Yau Ley) Seafood Restaurant. Temujin came first overall, with Ichiban second and Talking Head third.
By the time you read this, the COA Chinese New Year Macau Race will have taken place, but there is still time to catch the ABC Classic Yacht Rally from 16 – 17 April. It's a great weekend of racing and partying around Stanley and Tai Tam. Maybe you could leave your boat at Middle Island for the week and then join the DBYC Round Lantau Regatta from 23 – 24 April the following weekend.
Looking forwards to the summer, make sure you pencil in your diary the COA Midsummer Rally from 30 April to 2 May for a memorable long weekend of cruising and partying and also the COA Summer Macau Rally over the weekend of 1 – 3 June.
All cruising events are listed on the HHYC website, just look under ‘Yacht Racing’ then click on ‘Cruising Events’ to catch the vibe.
Because the majority of Hong Kong's Live Reef Food Fish (LRFF) imports go largely unchecked, there is a concerning amount of illegal fish being smuggled to China and abroad.
Despite the small size of Hong Kong, it plays a crucial role in the international economy as a trade hub. Hong Kong International Airport and container port are among the most easily accessible, making them among the busiest in the world. This is in part due to the city’s ‘free trade’ policy, making it all the more appealing as a commercial centre serving the Asia-Pacific region and mainland China.
Hong Kong’s huge demand for live fish is becoming a very real problem for the city. Having decimated its own supply, Hong Kong now relies on importing 90 per cent of all seafood eaten here, but the necessary sanctions are not yet in place on these imports meaning the vast majority of all LRFF—apologies for the awkward acronym (that’s the international phrasing) goes largely unchecked.
What kind of fish is classified as ‘live reef food fish’?
What’s the problem with HK’s love of LRFFReef fish are a highly valuable natural asset in the Coral Triangle. It is this current trade demand for the resource that is destroying marine environments, depleting fish stocks and leaving coastal communities vulnerable. The global demand for wildlife products ranks highest in Asia, where growing affluence has fuelled an unprecedented rise in the trafficking of threatened species. Hong Kong and China dominate the import of wild-sourced live groupers and other live reef fish broadly in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly in Southeast Asia.
Many of these fish enter Hong Kong from neighbouring Southeast Asian countries via air and sea ports and are then sent to mainland China, both legally and illegally. This market has evolved to meet culturally driven demand for tropical seafood, mainly in Southern Chinese cuisine; with grouper being the most sought-after and regarded species. The combined result of over-exploitation, the collapse of domestic fisheries and the increase in consumer demand, have caused Hong Kong to be reliant almost solely on seafood imports, which is a rapidly increasing market (and is currently the most extensively traded of all food commodities globally).
The LRFF trade has not yet been widely publicised, and thus doesn't evoke the same level of controversy as shark-finning, but it is now starting to attract more attention as the grave implications for the developing countries that export these fish are becoming better understood.
This trade is becoming even more of a problem because the harvesting, transportation and delivery of these fish species—and others such as the Pangolin through laundering and a clandestine market involves considerable levels of criminality. While relatively small in volume, 13,000 metric tonnes in 2013, the LRFF trade has a high unit worth with an estimated retail value of one billion USD. The trade involves several threatened species including the Napoleon fish—also known as Humphead and Napoleon Wrasse) that arrives by air and is believed to transit through Hong Kong and is then smuggled into China by sea. The Napoleon fish is a revered species.
By smuggling the fish through Hong Kong, traders are able to significantly improve profits due to a loophole in reporting requirements for locally registered fishing vessels. This loophole allows fish to be landed without any customs declaration. This is a major challenge to managing and monitoring the trade because vessels that import fish into Hong Kong are treated as local fishing vessels, when in fact they are vessels that collect fish from other jurisdictions.
The Live Reef Food Fish Trade involves the capture of reef fish which are kept alive for sale and consumption mainly in Hong Kong and mainland China. Smaller markets exist in Malaysia and Singapore.
In 1996, Sadovy led a study group which indicated that the wrasse’s population was vulnerable. Sadly its situation has become still worse in the intervening years, with the IUCN-World Conservation Union now listing it as ‘endangered’.
”
”
“
“It has become very clear that a more sustainable approach to fishing, trade and consumption practices is needed to stop the illegal trade of LRFF in the future, and further, to reduce threats to marine biodiversity and safeguard food security.
What is being done?The Hong Kong government is, in conjunction with such bodies as the HKIA, in a unique position to encourage and support practices that can substantially contribute towards creating a more responsible and sustainable international trade in live reef fish as part of their own commitments to CSR through tightened monitoring and reporting practices.
A growing number of international accords and agreements, consultations and guidelines are acknowledging this responsibility, including environmental stewardship covering issues such as traceability and the supply chain. While these implementations are helping, there needs to be a greater effort exerted by governing bodies in countries where the problem is most pernicious as well as placing a greater responsibility on general consumers in the community to create the demand for sustainably sourced seafood.

Making a It doesn’t matter whether you are at the beach or out on the water in Hong Kong—one distressing aspect you can’t help noticing is the massive amount of floating debris.
On our Pak Sha Wan Beach Clean-up Day, we made the unfortunate discovery that the majority of the rubbish, which had washed up on the beaches, consisted of plastic water bottles, polystyrene and plastic food containers, and plastic straws (plus, of course, the usual collection of odd shoes).
HHYC would like to make a difference. It may only be small changes to start with, but with everyone’s help we can have a major positive impact on sustainability starting with the following:
Plastic straws are only being given upon request.Butter is being served in washable china pots instead of plastic packs.Paper napkins will be replaced with washable linen ones for special events.Polystyrene take-out containers are no longer being used.Shower soap and shampoo will be replaced with eco-friendly versions that we are currently sourcing.Paper towels will be removed from the shower rooms.Air conditioners will be run more efficiently.Incandescent light bulbs are being replaced with LED ones.
Plastic water bottlesOn our beach clean-up day all of our participants brought their own bottles. This meant that we were—in only one day—able to cut down on the use of around 200 plastic bottles. Imagine if we could do this for every regatta, weekend sail, beach trip and hike.
Bring your own bottleTo reduce the number of plastic bottles, we would like to ask members to bring their own refillable water bottles. There are water dispensers distributed around the Club for your convenience, so you can refill your bottles with cold, filtered water at the Club.

Early learning on sea safety
Marine North Division (MNDIV) played host to 80 children from the Po Leung Kuk Lau Chan Siu Po Kindergarten at the end of last year demonstrating the activities of the Marine Division and highlighting core aspects of sea safety.
The young students were thrilled to see police launches and enjoyed an interactive quiz conducted by Acting Divisional Commander, Tim Worrall.
The visit came to a successful conclusion and appropriately, amidst a sea of laughter, the children presented a hand-made school poster to MNDIV as a gesture of their appreciation.
Getting the message across early: MNDIV officers help kindergarten children get to grips with sea safety.
Who’s who around the Club?
What do I do at the Club? I am managing all aspects of the Club’s PR and Marketing activities, with a focus on marketing, communications, event planning, member relations and sponsorship development.
What I love most about the ClubI love the Club’s relaxed and homely atmosphere that is mixed with a sense of community. And the views—who could not love those!
My life outside the ClubI have two children who keep me busy with rugby and Irish dancing, being a taxi driver, rugby boot cleaner, hairstylist and other such things as a busy working mum. I enjoy travelling; I adore Thai food as well as being quite content to curl up on my sofa with a good book. I think I was born to be on the beach, so I am delighted to be working so close to the sea.
What I love most about Hong KongI have been in Hong Kong since 1996 and I love the diversity this great city gives us. I mostly love the side most tourists don’t see, the local village life, the stunning Sai Kung hiking trails and beautiful beaches. There is no better way to spend a weekend than being on Sai Wan beach with my family. Sai Kung is home to me, it’s a great place for family life, with lots to do at the weekends.

It’s been a great start for 2016 for big boat sailing with the success of the Kowloon Cup. While participation was lower than in previous years due to people being scared off by the weather, the conditions for sailing were perfect and the event was lots of fun for those who decided to leave their warm homes!
Coming up, just before you receive your Hebe Jebes, we have the Double-Handed Race on 28 February and then the Jeanneau Spring Saturday Series starting 5 March.
I recently attended the Annual Race-dates Meeting in which a representative from each yachting club is sent to negotiate the racing calendar for the coming sailing year. With so much racing in Hong Kong and trying to meet all the needs of club members, we did our best to offer the best racing options with as few clashes as possible. To achieve this goal, this inter-club collaboration is vital. Our PR and Marketing Department are still working hard to find sponsors to help cover some of the cost of hosting these races. If you have a company connection that might like to be a part of the sailing scene and sponsor a race, please get in touch. There are different packages and events to meet most budgets.
We are currently still operating without our own club boat and using rental vessels as our committee boat. While this is not ideal, the new boat we have commissioned will be well worth waiting for as we are having a boat custom-built boat to meet all the needs of the active boating community we have here at HHYC!
What a cold start to 2016—going thought the coldest month in the past 60 years. This cold front also brought very strong gusts of wind on 24 January. Our friend sailing his X99 reported 40 knots on his wind meter and club boat operators reported the wind to be as strong as a typhoon signal 8. Consequently a large number of boat canopies were torn apart as most boat owners didn’t expect such strong wind in winter months. A lesson learnt.
We have some good news for the Club regarding the new club boat proposal. This proposal was presented to the General Committee on 28 January and it was agreed that the contract would be awarded to EAC, a boat builder in Zhuhai managed by Australian professionals. The estimated construction time will be about nine months.
With our collaboration with RHKYC, we have decided to invest in a dual berth mooring system. Designed by Australian engineers, the manufacturing will be undertaken in China. We have received approval from the Marine Department to try one set. We are hopeful that the success will allow us to increase the number of mooring facilities for club members.
On a final note, tidiness is always our priority and we need your support. Please remember to dispose of all rubbish in the bins provided and not leave any in the pontoon area, so we can all enjoy clean and tidy club facilities.
I would like to take the opportunity to wish all our members Kung Hei Fat Choi in this New Year of the Monkey. I hope that it will be a year of good health, wealth and happiness for all of us and also for the Club.
The Club will be installing the new boat racking system at the beginning of March and we estimate finishing installation by the end of June 2016. All boats have been shifted to the car park temporarily. During this period, the boat launching service will run with little to no interruption. I would like to remind everyone that there will be no car parking space at the Club during the construction period. Please park your cars in the public car parking facilities near the Club pedestrian entrance or near the scout centre next door. Special parking arrangements will be organised by the Club and further announcements will be published closer to the time.
I would like to give a friendly reminder to owners of, or those responsible for, any dinghies or tenders berthed in our blue and white pontoons to please submit a copy of your updated boat ownership certificate / operating license and insurance certificates as soon as possible. You can fax these to the Marine Office 2719 3273 or email:[email protected]. Please remember that any dinghies or tenders that do not have updated boat documents or boat labels are not permitted on these berths.
Summer is coming, and we are heading into the typhoon season. The HHYC Marine Office would like to remind all members to please check their mooring ropes, and if necessary, replace any damaged ropes in readiness.
Have a safe time on the water and enjoy all that spring has to offer.
Kung Hei Fat Choy(恭禧發財)to all members & sailors—may the Year of the Golden Monkey bring us good wind, lots of sunshine and awesome sailing days!
The warmer spring days have arrived and the SLAM Sailing Centre is gearing up for some exciting events—mark your calendar and join us on our annual SLAM Sailing Centre Open Day on Sunday 20 March. There will be Laser Pico & Laser Bahia joy rides, SUP and kayaking try-outs, game stalls and a SLAM merchandise booth with cool sailing gear. Sailability Hong Kong will also be at the open day to introduce their boats and programmes to the public.
Some of our young Hebe Dragon Racing Squad members will be flying the Hong Kong flags high at the Asian Sailing Federation (ASAF) Youth Cup in Singapore (March) and in Abu Dhabi (April). We wish our young Dragons safe trips and fair sailing.
On the keelboat scene, the Club’s signature Spring Saturday Series will start on 5 March. This kicks off the string of 2016 keelboat racing series and we look forward to more members joining in the exhilarating keelboat action!
If you are looking for some Easter holiday activities for your kids, why not sign them up for one of our Easter sailing programmes? Details available on the club website or call us at the Sail Training Centre (STC) on 2719 0926.
For members who wish to take things at a little more leisurely pace, the Club do have some kayaks—both single- and double-seaters—available for hire from the SLAM Sailing Centre. Come on down and take a kayak, or two, out—paddle around and enjoy the tranquillity of Trio Beach before the summer mayhem starts!
