Waiting for the wind

Cheung Chau Challenge

Last weekend’s Cheung  Chau challenge was beset with the problem of very little wind.  There was no racing on either day with the boats being towed to Cheung Chau and back again on Sunday as far as Hei Ling Chau.   Ironically, there was wind all weekend at DB!  The weekend wasn’t a total loss with members of both the LBC and the Hong Kong Hobie Club enjoying a great seafood dinner on the Saturday.

Fragrant Harbour Trophy 2009

The FH trophies for 2009 were awarded during the Cheung Chau Weekend. Results are calculated based on placings in the top regattas during the course of the year (ABC Opening Regatta, Hobie Asian Classic, LBC Asian Open Regatta and the Round Island Race). Prizes were awarded to the top finisher in each of the 3 catamaran categories:

Dart 18 Class

 Tom Nunan & Michele Felder
Hobie 16 Class  Tong Shing
F18 Class  Mike Scantlebury

Congratulations to the winners, and all who participated in racing for 2009. The same competition will take place for 2010, so practice now!

Tree Cutting

On Saturday 20 March, we were forced to remove a couple of trees that had recently become unstable next to our main hut. The work was carried out by an expert of the HKRI tree surgeons.
