With summer on its way, your sailing committee are very
busy at the moment.
process of finalising the sailing instructions for both the Helly
Hansen Summer Saturday Series and the Typhoon Series.
As a members’ club, we believe it important to enable all
members of our sailing community to participate in our race
management programmes and help run our club races.
Big thanks to Bridget from our sailing committee, who is
now representing HHYC on the Hong Kong Performance
Handicap System (HKPN) committee. I am following on from
CK in looking after our club interests on the Hong Kong
Sailing Federation Council (HKSF).
To encourage both members and non members to acquire
race management skills, we have recruited a qualified ISAF
RYA Instructor, Robert Lamb, from the UK to deliver an RYA
level 1 Race Management training program at HHYC on
17 – 19 July. Classroom-based training will take place on
Thursday and Friday evenings and all day Saturday. If you
are interested in learning more about being a Race Officer
or Assistant Race Officer, and wish to enrol, please contact
the sailing office as soon as possible as places are strictly
limited.
Thanks also to our SLAM Sailing Centre, who together with
our club PR and Marketing Office, have been working hard
to obtain mutually rewarding sponsorships for our sailing
programmes. We are delighted to advise that Helly Hansen
is our Saturday Series title sponsor and China CTTIC HK Co
Ltd has joined them as co-sponsors. (China CTTIC make
satellite phones, and are worth getting to know if you are
planning to cruise or race offshore!) Many will be delighted
that Carlsberg has agreed to be our beer sponsor.
