Racing on Sunday

At the moment it’s looking like the second day
of the spring series will be going ahead as the forecast is for Force 3
winds. You can call Gabriel on 9380 6809 Saturday evening before 9pm
for an update or Sunday morning from 8am onwards. However, the final
decision will be made on the day as we all know how fickle the wind can
be in Hong Kong!

Please note that if we know in advance that racing will be postponed or
cancelled we will put the notice on the website the evening before. If
it is postponed or cancelled on the day verbal notice will be given on
the beach at 10am.

With members coming from all over Hong Kong we do understand this is an
issue so, as a rough guide for the future, the following forecast on
the HK Observatory website the day before racing will mean:

Light winds Force 2
Unlikely that there will be a race but the Race Officer (RO) will be there to confirm by 10am

Force 2 to 3
Possible that racing will go ahead and worth turning up for but final decision on the day

Force 3
Racing will go ahead but the RO reserves the right to cancel if the forecast is wrong

Anything above Force 3
There will be racing providing the forecast is correct

DB Regatta

Once again, the Discovery Bay Yacht Club (DBYC) has asked us to join into their regatta. We will have a special category for LBC catamarans, and alwayslove the chance to show just how fast we our against the big boats. This event will count toward the overall points accumulation for racing this year.

This is a fun yet competitive event, with a real opportunity to join together and party afterwards at the DB Marina C
