General Committee Member
GenCom
I arrived in Hong Kong in 1992 and people know me from quite diverse areas. Some from New
Song Kindergarten Days—where I was on the Board of Directors, some from CWBS where I was
Co-chair of the PTA and on ComPar, many from HHYC—where I’ve been on GenCom for several
years, am Chair of the Sustainability Committee and Publisher of the Club magazine Hebe Jebes;
some from knocking on your door with my three beautiful kids in tow trick or treating on Halloween;
some from parties onboard my Prima, Clipper II; and a fair few from sailing on Patrick Yam’s Baby
Beluga on which we won the First Beneteau Round the Island last year.
Delighted and honoured to be elected Gen Com of The Hebe Haven Yacht Club in Sept2015,
51-year-old garment manufacturer Eddy Lo Kin Pong, who joined the Club in 2009, has the same
friendly character as the Club itself.
I didn’t know much about the Club when I joined about five years ago. Now I have so many great
friends here. I didn’t know much about sailing either—my sailing experience was limited to Topper
dinghies on Kielder reservoir in the UK. Now I’ve crewed on Beneteau Firsts and Ruffians in
several Round the Island, Harbour, Typhoon Series and China Cup Races and have recently been
‘promoted’ to foredeck for the 9th China Cup International Regatta this November.
As a Junior Police Call Honorary President and meeting the younger generation on a regular basis,
Eddy wishes to promote boating and the Club in the capacity of a Gen Com member, not only to
adults but also to children.
The Club is about fun and about balance—we have a diverse membership from all kinds of
backgrounds with all kinds of interests. I’m doing my best to help make the Club as inclusive as possible
for everyone: sailors—cruising and racing, power boaters, sailability, SUP-ers, social members, F&B-ers,
boat fixer-up-ers, beach cleaner-up-ers, young ‘ns, old ‘ns and everyone in between.
Holding a Pleasure Vessel Operators Licence Grade 2 and being the owner of a 43’ motor boat,
Eddy is a typical energetic sports and boating enthusiast who appreciates the desire of Club
members to explore and to experience adventure through boating.
