September 18-19: Commodore's Cup in Cheung Chau

Enjoy the mid-Autumn Festival weekend with a little friendly competition at this year's Commodore's Cup in Cheung Chau. This forms one leg of the Hong Kong Catamaran Championships (the others being ABC Opening Regatta, Allied Pickfords Hobie Asian Championship, our own Discovery Bay Open Asia Regatta and the Round the Island Race). Format is being finalized, but current thinking is: sail over on Sunday morning and 'around-the-cans' races in the afternoon. Monday (holiday) will be a long-distance race.

For those who want to stay overnight in Cheung Chau, rooms at the Warwick are extremely tight because of the long-weekend. We have only managed to reserve a few rooms and they are asking for deposits by the 30th as a guarantee. If you are interested in reserving a room, please contact social @ lantauboatclub.com .

Typhoon Series 4,5,6 Sunday August 28th

Sunday we will race the Typhoon series 4,5,6. We will leave the beach at 13:00 Sharp. It looks like we will have more luck with the weather this time...

Stolen Canoe

Since recently one of the canoes disappeared from the rack (stolen?!?) we urge all members to lock their boats to prevent theft.

The club insurance does not cover canoes.
