Congratulations to all the Hong Kong Optimist sailors for their hard work this year. The objectives of the HKODA are very clear in that it wants to promote Optimist sailing amongst young sailors in Hong Kong. The participation of sailors from HKSSA and from overseas at this year’s Nationals shows that HKODA has been successful in widening the appeal of Optimist sailing in Hong Kong and promoting it abroad. There are, however, still many youngsters in Hong Kong that have not yet been introduced to sailing. HKODA, with the help of all the Hong Kong clubs, will try to reach them and successfully continue the promotion of Optimist sailing in Hong Kong. 12 – 17 February 16 & 17 May HHYC Summer Regatta: Sai Kung 30 & 31 May HKSF Festival of Sport: Sai Kung 13 & 14 June HKODA Nationals 2015: Southside 1 – 4 Oct 香港Optimist級帆船協會(HKODA)的創會宗旨非常清晰, 它希望向香港的年輕人宣傳Optimst級別的帆船賽。在今年所 舉辦的Nationals帆船賽中,參賽水手包括了來自香港學校風帆 協會(HKSSA)和海外的選手,這說明了HKODA已成功地透 過宣傳擴大了Optimst級別的帆船賽在港和海外的知名度。但 是,本港現時仍有很多年輕人缺乏對賽船活動的有關知識。 在 香港所有遊艇會的幫助下,HKODA將會嘗試接觸他們,希望 能成功地繼續在港推廣Optimst級別的帆船賽活動 。 ABC Southside Regatta: Southside 5 & 6 December HKODA在12月舉行了周年大會,下列為本會在2015年賽季的 新一屆執行委員會: As of 7 December and after completing five races in 2014— including one discard—the new rankings and the new Hong Kong champion are as follows: Overall: 1st Thorwen Uiterwaal (RHKYC) 2nd Faolan Whyte (J-Asia) 3rd Dolf Hendriksen (RHKYC) 12 and under: 1st Faolan Whyte (J-Asia) 2nd Duncan Gregor (RHKYC) 3rd Anatole Martin (ABC) 會長:Grégoire Bourrut Lacouture(白沙灣遊艇會) 財政:Andries Hendriksen(香港遊艇會) 秘書:Elberti Uiterwaal Postma (白沙灣遊艇會) 助理秘書:Cecile Martin(香港仔遊艇會) 級別發展主任:Kevin Lewis(香港仔遊艇會) President: Grégoire Bourrut Lacouture (HHYC) Treasurer: Andries Hendriksen (RHKYC) Secretary: Elberti Uiterwaal Postma (HHYC) Assistant Secretary: Cecile Martin (ABC) Class Development Officer: Kevin Lewis (ABC) Fleet Captains: ABC: Jack Young RHKYC: Kim Pascoe HHYC: Alfred Okoth STA: TBC HKSS: Fai Jai Chan HKSSA: Simon Leung J-ASIA: Marek Nostitz Jackowski As of 2015, a youth fleet captain will also be added, details in the next issue.
