New Dragons
Christmas training 2013
Although we are already into March, a few Dragons were
courageous enough to brave the cold days before Christmas. It
was a good experience for our newest recruits who managed to
practise their capsizing skills!
The highlight of the camp was the final race against Alfie…This is
where the students beat the master! Guess Alfie is a bit oversized
to fit in an Optimist and his sail was not properly trimmed!
雖然已踏入三月，回顧去年聖誕節，數位Dragons隊成員冒著
嚴寒進行集訓，讓新成員有機會提升航海技巧！

集訓焦點項目就是與Alfie比賽......各隊員的表現真是青出於
藍，長江後浪推前浪！可能是Alfrie體型較大，難以適應在
Optimist作賽，令帆船未能平衡！ (Alfie事後告訴編輯，他在
起航線已放棄比賽，以避免違規犯OCS！)
I am 11 years old and was born in Hong Kong. I study at
Renaissance College in Ma On Shan. I started sailing when
my friend Faolan (an experienced sailor) encouraged me to
go sailing with him, so I enrolled myself in the school’s Pico
sailing course at Hebe.
When I was on the Pico course I met coach Alfred, who
told me that he wanted me to try and sail an Oppie. I
immediately said yes and joined the Christmas training
programme. Since I heard about how fun sailing was, I’ve
always wanted to go. This time I was lucky enough to
be a member of the Hebe Dragons racing team. I really
like sailing because of the windy and half-wet conditions
(although sometimes it’s very cold). I hope to improve my
sailing and win some regattas.
Other than sailing, I enjoy playing rugby and a lot of other
sports; I also play a few video games and watch some TV.
Iain Duncan
我現年11歲，於香港出生，就讀於馬鞍山啟新書院。在好
友Faolan (富經驗選手)鼓勵下，我開始與他一同揚帆出
海，並報名參加由學校於白沙灣遊艇會舉辦的Pico航海課
程，過程中巧遇教練Alfred，有幸獲得Alfred賞識，給予我
機會出戰Oppie級別。我當時毫不猶豫就一口答應，並報
名參加聖誕培訓課程！我一直聽說航海是多麼有趣，今次
有幸加入Dragon隊，令我欣喜萬分。我熱愛航海，因為於
航海期間的天氣變幻無常 (雖然有時非常寒冷)，期望我能
早日提升技術，贏取大賽。除了航海，我亦喜愛玩欖球及
其他運動，閒餘時會玩遊戲機和看電視。

We are also pleased to welcome back Iain Duncan who
moved back from Lasers to Oppies! Iain, it is great to see
you back. You must have missed the starting line action!
Iain also had the chance to race Picos last December and
managed to finish third at the ABC open regatta!
Iain Duncan不惜捨棄Lasers級別，回歸Oppies級別！我
們熱烈歡迎您的回歸！期望不久將來會見到Iain出賽！
Iain去年十二月出戰Picos級別，並於香港仔遊艇會公開賽
(ABC Open Regatta)勇奪季軍！
