Hebe Haven Yacht Club
HKODA Nationals 2013 Pre-Announcement
Words Gregoire Bourrut Lacouture
Hebe Have Yacht Club in association
with the Hong Kong Optimist Dinghy
Association present the Hong Kong
National Championship on 7 and 8 of
December to be held in the vicinity
of Port Shelter. This event is hoisted
and supported by The Hebe Haven
Yacht Club.
Each year, the top Hong Kong
Optimist sailors participate in five
official HKODA ranking regattas (ABC
southside in December, RHKYC Middle
Island in April, HHYC Open Regatta in
June, HKSF Festival of Sport in June
and HKSF Open regatta in September)
and in the HKODA Nationals.
Around 50 boats from all horizons will be on the start line for
two days of top racing. For some sailors, it will be their last race
in Optimist having reached the age of 15 at the end of 2013.
For some younger ones, it will be their first great experience to
enter such an event.
Prizes will be offered to the overall winner, the first five overall,
the first three in the under-12s category and the first three in
the under-10-years-old category.
The Hong Kong National Champion, based on the 2013 ranking,
will also be rewarded.
A fantastic buffet organised by Hebe Haven will be offered
to all competitors on the last day.
By the time you read this, the notice of race will have been
posted on the HKODA website (http://www.hkoda.org) and sent
out to all the HK coaches.
This event could not be organised without the support of
