Help Needed on the water for DB LBC Asian Open Regatta

Its time once again for the regatta, and we need some helpers in the Safety Boats again this year. Its a great chance to see the action up close, without having to sail. There will be a driver in each boat, the main task of helpers will be to man the radio and help the driver as necessary. It’s also a great opportunity to take photos! The dates are Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd of October. Its not paid I'm afraid, but you can expect free food (and the beach party on Saturday evening) together with free shirt and other goodies. If you are interested get in touch with Nicole ( secretary@lantauboatclub.com ) and she will pass on your contact to our Safety Officer, Kevin Lewis. Thanks!
