Hong Kong Optimist Dinghy Association
Hebe Dragons（Optimist隊 及 Lasers隊）再次前往馬來西亞
海岸接受季前特訓，並參加一年一度的浮羅交怡國際帆船賽。
特訓營對備賽非常重要，能專注多方面培訓及強化團隊
精神，過去亦幫助過不少學員以個人名義、Hebe Dragons團
隊名義、以及白沙灣遊艇會名義備戰全港大小賽事，亦為參與
國際賽事的會員提供鍛鍊機會。
獲邀參與特訓營的選手均為本會高潛質、對航海賽事充滿熱
誠的選手。
Words Rob Allen, Sailing Centre Manager
The upcoming events for the HKODA ranking will be
the following races so mark your calendar.
Location
The team will fly to Langkawi, Malaysia, to take advantage
of the fantastic facilities at the Langkawi Sail Training Centre.
The sailors will charter boats that are in good condition and
will use the Optimist and Laser dinghies for the duration of
the trip. The warm waters and fresh winds are ideal to train
the squad in conditions that will allow the coach to maximise
the time on and off the water during the winter months
when it may not be as ideal to sail here in Hong Kong.
地點
團隊將前往馬來西亞浮羅交怡，利用浮羅交怡航海訓練中心
內頂級設施進行特訓。選手會使用優質小艇進行練習，其間亦
會使用私家艇進行特訓﹔相比香港冬季，當地海水溫暖，風勢
清勁，對集訓相當有利，教練可充分利用這幾個 月時間進行特
訓，如果在香港集訓，反而會受天氣所限，效果未必理想。
Dragons Team A & B training
Taking the sailors off to a very different environment and
sailing location is hugely beneficial to both the individual
and the team. The sailors have an opportunity to truly bond
and build a team spirit that will help them upon their return
to Hong Kong and in representing Hebe Haven Yacht Club
in regattas and events.
The coach and team manager have the perfect
opportunity to spend dedicated hours with sailors
on and off the water, instilling both the physical and
mental discipline required for competitive racing.
In order to build up competitiveness, Alfred will now run
a weekly regatta during training, and a monthly one with a
minimum of three races. There will be a monthly ranking which
will also include the official races. There will be the following
handicap (low point ranking) according to each event:
• Weekly/Monthly Regatta: 1
• HHYC Regatta (ex-HHYC winter race/ABC/RHKYC race
which are not HKODA): 0.75
• HKODA Regatta (next one will be ABC): 0.5
• Nationals Regatta: 0.25
Only the 10 best sailors will make it onto Team A. The others
will be sailing and training in Team B until the next ranking
(every three months).
The top three sailors in Team A will be able to choose their
own boat name.The top four Hebe sailors in the Hebe Haven
HKODA Nationals 2013 will also be allowed to name their boats.

Sailing Centre
partnership 2013
We are delighted to officially
announce that our partnership with
SLAM has been signed and sealed.
After months of on-going
communications and discussions, we have the pleasure of
officially becoming the Hebe Haven SLAM Sailing Centre.
You will notice the rebranding of the Sailing Centre has
now taken place, with a number of exciting plans currently
coming into the Club and Sailing Centre.
The Hebe Dragons Team are now looking very smart and
professional out on the water, as you will see from recent
photos or time spent at the Club on one of the training days.
New staff uniforms and safety equipment has also brought
the look of the Sailing Centre in line with the high expectations
that we have, and there have been many positive comments
from people about the new look at the Sailing Centre.
Hopefully, over the winter months, we will set up a club
merchandise shop for everyone to purchase the numerous
items that SLAM has to help you kit out for your sailing on
both dinghies and yachts, as well as Hebe Haven-branded
items such as memorabilia for friends and family.
Watch this space for updates.

What are the benefits
of this training camp?
把選手遷離固定環境到外地訓練，個人與團隊都受益匪淺，
選手能互相增進了解，建立友誼及團隊精神，有助回港後以團
隊身份作賽。
教練及團隊經理亦可專心訓練選手，經常與選手一起，有助
培訓紀律及灌輸正確心態，為競爭激烈的大賽做準備。
