Commodore’s Message

As this is my first message as Commodore, I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of General Committee and the general membership, to thank our immediate Past Commodore Mark Whitehead and all outgoing members of the General Committee and other committees for all that they have achieved over the past two years.

The Bridge The Ours is truly an exceptional club on many fronts – the fact that a rower can become Commodore is just one example of this and really gives credence to the fact that ours is both a sailing and a rowing club, with both sports having equal importance. I feel daunted enough following in the footsteps of all the great sailors who have been Commodore before me; the fact that I’m the first rower to be Commodore since Bob Wilson had the role in 1978-1980 makes me even more conscious of the trust that has been placed in me.

Building the next generation of sailors has been a key focus of the General Committee for a number of years, so it’s really pleasing to see the plethora of different events members of our youth squad, The Sharks, will be attending over the summer – the Optimist UK Nationals, the Optimist Europeans, the Optimist Worlds,

Commodore Robert Stoneley the Laser 4.7 Worlds, the Radial Worlds, the Radial UK Nationals, the 29er Europeans and the 29er Worlds. 會長史東禮 Not to be outdone, the rowers and paddlers are also off to far flung places and will be representing the Club in places as diverse as Philadelphia, Copenhagen and Kona, Hawaii. The youngest competitor, Elizabeth Knight, has been putting in long hours of training not just at weekends but also before and after school during the week. Her dedication should be an inspiration not just for other junior members but also for our more seasoned older members.

We wish all of our overseas competitors every success.

For those of you staying in Hong Kong for the hot summer months, please remember the Sunset Series is on every Friday until 26 August. Even if you aren’t sailing, this is a great opportunity to leave the office early to come down to the Club for sundowners and watch the racing from the Main Bar terrace. There can surely be no better way to end the week?

I hope you all have an enjoyable summer however you are spending it, and I look forward to welcoming you back as we kick off the new season with the Autumn Regatta on 10 and 11 September – make sure it’s in your diary.

作為新一任會長，我希望藉此機會先代表理事會和全部會員，感謝上屆會長韋浩德、所有理事會和其他委員會的卸任委員，於過去兩年對遊艇會所作出的貢獻。

遊艇會在許多方面都很有特色，就以一位賽艇手能夠成為會長為例，足以表示遊艇會是一個賽艇及帆船會會所，兩種運動均平分春色，同等重要。對於歷屆偉大的會長勻為帆船手，我並不感到氣餒;反之我能夠成為繼 Bob Wilson 於1978年至1980年以來，首位以賽艇手身份成為會長，更讓我意識到會員對我的信任。

建立下一代帆船手一直是理事會近年關注的重點，尤其看到許多青年隊和少年帆船隊成員，將於今年夏天出席不同的比賽項目，包括英聯樂天錦標賽、歐盟樂天錦標賽、世界樂天錦標賽、Laser 4.7世界錦標賽、Radial 世界錦標賽、英聯 Radial 錦標賽、29er 歐盟錦標賽及29er 世界錦標賽，我感到十分的高興及欣慰。

賽艇及划艇選手亦不甘示弱，他們代表遊艇會遠赴偏遠的費城、哥本哈根和夏威夷的科納出賽。當中最年輕的選手 Elizabeth Knight，一直投放大量時間訓練，除週末以外，更於週日課堂前後練習。她的投入及積極不僅是年青會員的榜樣，也是其他經驗豐富會員所應當效法的。

我們希望所有參加海外比賽的會員都凱旋歸來。

對於那些暑假留港的的會員，請抽空出席由現在到8月26日，逢星期五舉行的黃昏系列帆船賽。即使你沒有參與賽事，也可藉此提早離開辦公室，從酒吧露台享受夕陽西下及賽事。想必是結束一周最好的方式?

無論你如何選擇，我希望大家可享受一個愉快的夏季。之後新一季的秋季帆船賽將於9月10和11日舉行，請先預留日子，我期待再次見到大家。

8 | JUL/AUG 2016 AHOY! Past Commodore’s Message

When I wrote my first message to you two years ago, the Kellett Island Development project was about to start and I am very pleased to report that as I step down as your Commodore, we have celebrated the opening of the very impressive Annex New Wing. The new Ship Shop has opened and is already proving to be a resounding success. The feedback from members has been extremely positive and the new shop has certainly been worth the wait. The squash courts, too, have opened and the administration offices have moved into their new home. By now members will also have moved into the building on an interim basis to use the temporary changing rooms and gym. Hopefully it won’t be long now until the new gym opens in the East Wing Extension and members move into their new changing rooms in the Central Block. I am very grateful to all members for their patience through the disruption of the building project but now as we are beginning to see the final results for ourselves, we can appreciate that it has all been worthwhile.

In addition to the development project, we have seen some wonderful successes in our core sports. Hong Kong Race Week, Stanley Dragon Boat Championships, the Hong Kong to Vietnam Race, Volvo announcing a stopover in Hong Kong and a new record at the Rolex China Sea Race. Commodore Mark Whitehead 會長韋浩德 This year’s Electoral General Meeting was held on 14 June and I congratulate my successor Robert Stoneley, new Flag Officers and members of the General Committee as well as all newly-elected members of the Sailing, Rowing and Membership committees. If you are inspired to play your part in the running of the Club, we are always looking for volunteers so please do not hesitate to contact the Commodore or the General Manager.

It has been an absolute honour to serve our Club and I thank you all for the support you have given me and the General Committee.

當我兩年前寫我的第一篇信息給會員時，吉列島改建工程正準備動工，我很高興向大家報告，現在當我卸任會長一職時，我們可以為美輪美奐的新翼大樓落成而慶祝。新的 Ship Shop 現已開幕，足以證明這是一個項偉大的成就。會員的反應非常令人鼓舞，無疑新的商店是值得期待的。壁球場現已啟用，辦公室亦已遷入新居。會員現在也可以使用新翼的臨時更衣室和健身房。希望不久將來，新的健身室將於東翼擴建部分落成，會員可以使用中座新的更衣室。我非常感謝所有會員對改建工程的耐心包容，而現在當開始看到最後的成果，相信一切都是值得的。

除了改建工程項目，遊艇會的主要核心運動賽果，成績亦有目共睹。包括香港帆船賽週，赤柱龍舟錦標賽，香港至越南賽，Volvo 宣布在香港為短暫停留站，及在勞力士中國海帆船賽的刷新紀錄。

今年的選舉大會已於6月14日舉行，我祝賀我的繼任者史東禮，及所有理事會成員，以及帆船、賽艇和會籍委員會所有新當選的委員。如果你有興趣參與本會的運作，我們歡迎你來當義工，請隨時與會長或總經理聯繫。

能夠為遊艇會服務使我深感榮幸，我藉此感謝大家一直對我和理事會的支持。

At the end of April, the Club made its annual pilgrimage to Tin Hau Temple at Joss House Bay to Tin Hau Festival make offerings to the Goddess of the Sea and ask her for her blessing for the forthcoming year.

JUL/AUG 2016 AHOY! | 9 General Manager’s Message

I am absolutely certain that F&B’s Main Bar promotions for the summer months are going to go down extremely well with members. In July there will be unlimited servings of craft beer in an aptly named Craft Beer Buffet which will feature Mondays to Wednesdays for only $98 per person. In August, craft beer will be replaced by wine at only $148 per person. You will be hard-pressed to find a better deal around town. Further, whilst you are enjoying your liquid buffets, you can enjoy a selection of complimentary tapas as we have Tapas The Bridge The Night in the Main Bar also on Mondays to Fridays from July to September.

This month members can start to explore (and taste their way through) the new a la carte menus in the Bistro and the Compass Room. On 4 July we celebrate Independence Day in the Compass Room, on 7 July we present you with the Born Sake Dinner and on 18 August the extremely popular Veuve Clicquot Champagne Dinner returns. For details of all of these F&B offerings and more, please see pages 42 to 45 or visit the Club website.

On Wednesday 8 June, World Oceans Day, the Club stopped providing single use plastic bags, beverage

General Manager Mark Bovaird bottles and straws. This initiative has been very well-received by members and we should all be proud that 總經理布馬克 we are doing our part for the environment and that our Club is regarded as a global leader in the fight against plastic waste. Please remember that re-usable bags, bottles and water containers are available from the Ship Shop and the Club will not charge you for the filtered water you use to fill your bottles, etc.

I am sure our gym users are very happy to be out of the old gym – even if it is to temporary accommodation in the Annex New Wing – but even its temporary, it’s certainly a lot larger and brighter and that must be a good thing. We look forward to opening the new gym (and changing rooms) in the fourth quarter. I would like to add my thanks to those of Mark Whitehead to you all for bearing with us through this time.

Please may I remind members that guests to Middle Island may not bring their dogs at weekends and public holidays (Bye Law 16.7(e)).

If you are staying here for the summer, please do have a look at the lessons and courses on offer be it sailing, rowing or swimming – all information on the Club website. We will soon be offering squash coaching to members of all ages so please keep an eye out for that information. Have you played snooker recently? The snooker table has been refurbished and is now in the Pat Loseby Room so why not give it a try in its new home?

相信會員都會喜歡我們的夏日餐飲推廣，七月開始，逢週一至週三有全新 Craft Beer 暢飲優惠，無限品嚐各款精選手工啤酒，每位只需98元；到八月，手工啤酒會轉為餐酒，每位都只需148元，相當優惠。另外，Main Bar 在七至九月期間，逢週一至週五都是 Tapas Night，會員可免費享用 Tapas。

Bistro 和 Compass Room 在今個月推出全新單點菜單，後者在7月4日更會推出特別菜式，慶祝美國獨立日。此外，我們還有梵清酒晚宴（7月7日）和載譽歸來的 Veuve Clicquot 香檳晚宴（8月14日），詳情可到第42至45頁或到本會網頁查閱。

為響應世界海洋日，遊艇會決定由6月8日起，停售即棄膠樽飲品和不再提供飲管及膠袋。會員都非常歡迎新措施，我們亦應為本會帶領世界各地機構推動減廢，感到自豪。此後，會員可到水機免費充水，若忘了自備水瓶、環保袋或容器，可到 Ship Shop 購買。

相信會員都很高興，可以使用新翼大樓的臨時健身室，比舊健身室寬敞和光猛多了。全新健身和更衣室將於今年第四季開幕，在此我和會長韋浩德一樣，感謝各位耐心等待。

請容我再次提醒，根據附例第16.7條(e)，會員於週末和公眾假期不可帶同狗隻到中途島會所。

暑假將至，如想報名參加帆船、賽艇或游泳課程，可到本會網頁查詢。我們亦即將推出壁球課程，敬請密切留意。另外，最近有打英式桌球嗎？球檯經翻新後已搬到 Pat Loseby Room，有空來打吧。

Feature | Spring Regatta WORDS: LINDSAY LYONS / IRIS YANG | PHOTOS: GUY NOWELL Edmond de Rothschild Spring Regatta 82 boats signed on for the first day of the Edmond de Rothschild Spring Regatta, which marked the finale of the Club’s 2015- 2016 sailing season. Race officer Charlie Manzoni set up shop at Hung Hom, with 10 to 12kts of easterly blowing out an early rain cloud and treating sailors to a bright and breezy afternoon’s racing. With significant current affecting the centre of the start line, the majority of boats elected to start at the committee boat end, with only two staying in the quieter waters at the pin end, close to the Kowloon waterfront.

14 | JUL/AUG 2016 AHOY! n spite of some fiercely contested starts, not a single boat was over early and a smooth afternoon’s sailing was completed in good time for sundowners at the Main Bar and submission of a number of protests against boats alleged to have missed the leeward spreader mark. Feature | An uninspiring forecast from both Hong Kong Observatory and WindGuru, promising thunder, lightning, rain and no breeze, may have contributed to the lessening of the fleet to 73 boats for second day but, as is so often the case in Hong Kong, the reality was far removed from Edmond de Rothschild Spring Regatta the predictions.

Initial conditions encouraged Race officer Charlie Manzoni to set a quick race for all fleets, in order to satisfy the minimum regatta requirement of two races. In 4 to 6kts of south easterly, the Impala fleet was the first start of nine to go off without any delays, with only Madame K failing to return when called over.

JUL/AUG 2016 AHOY! | 15 Feature | Edmond de Rothschild Spring Regatta

With all boats finishing within an hour of their start and the breeze holding steady, Manzoni lost no time in launching the start sequence for the third and final race of the regatta. During the sequence the wind started to build, settling at 10 to 12kts and swinging +/- 10 degrees from the course axis, with the Etchells class the only one to seriously test the pin end of the line with Gunga Din going over five seconds ahead of the gun, followed by Easy Tiger and Shrub. All exonerated themselves but probably cost themselves a place on the podium in the process.

The surprise conditions resulted in a rather early finish to the regatta and, with no protests to be heard, a lively prizegiving ensued, with trophies presented by Managing Director of Edmond de Rothschild, Humbert Garreau de Labarre.

The Club would like to thank its sponsors for their support, including Title Sponsor Edmond de Rothschild and supporting sponsors Yacht Style, Sail-World.com and San Miguel.

As always, a massive thank you also goes to the Club’s army of volunteers, whose efforts ensure a successful and safe event; Race Officer Charlie Manzoni and his team of Tony Chan, Adrienne Loeffler, Ivy Mak, Belinda Ng, Charlie Perkins, Emmanuel Pitsilis, Barry Truhol, Victor Tsien, Carl Wilkinson and Eric Yeung. Safety Officer Ailsa Angus and her team of Tommy Chan, Calle Krokstäde, Anders Hellberg, Niclas Rydin and Scott Surek.

JUL/AUG 2016 AHOY! | 17 Jeanneau Class Regatta A Tale in Two Parts Feature | WORDS AND PHOTOS: GUY NOWELL Jeanneau Class Regatta Class Jeanneau

The RHKYC’s annual Class Regatta is an occasion when the Club’s Class fleets pick up their passports and head off to the wilds of Port Shelter. Impalas, Dragons, and Flying Fifteens racing together on ‘short’ courses with Etchells and Sportsboats (M25s, J/80s, J/70s) on the ‘long’ course. The idea is to get everyone out of the harbour and into the scenic environs of the New Territories for the weekend, and it’s a good idea.

here have been spectacularly sunny Class Regattas in the past, and a spectacularly cold one that sticks in the memory, but there has rarely been one that was quite as windless as the weekend of 12 and 13 February. On the Saturday there was barely enough breeze to send the fleets around the course, twice. Barely, but enough. Under leaden skies and with not much more than hope to keep the fleet moving, two races were completed on the Saturday afternoon.

18 | JUL/AUG 2016 AHOY! Feature | Jeanneau Class Regatta Class Jeanneau

JUL/AUG 2016 AHOY! | 19 Feature | Jeanneau Class Regatta Class Jeanneau

The forecast for Sunday was uninspiring – and for once it was correct. RO Nigel Reeves ‘found’ a small patch of easterly breeze that looked promising, but failed to live up to either its looks or its promise, and died completely just as the fleet leaders rounded the leeward mark for the first time. It was too late to call a shortened course, and the breeze never recovered enough to get the boats up to the top mark for a finish there, either. Race abandoned, restart.

But even that wasn’t on the agenda. From 1130hrs the fleet jilled around in a flat calm and something precious close to fog, varying the tedium with a bit of paddling here and there, and even a knot-tying lesson. By 1330hrs everyone had had enough; even the ever-patient RO. Up went the AP over A, and everyone went home.

So closely packed is the Club’s sailing calendar, the next available date for a resail was 14 May – the morning of the first day of the annual Spring Regatta. The Class Regatta needed just one more race to constitute a series. In marked contrast to the conditions in February, Victoria Harbour sparked up 8 to 10kts of breeze from the east, and – wanting to “get it in the bag” as quickly as possible – RO Charlie Manzoni sent the long course boats to Tai Koo Shing and everyone else to Shau Kei Wan. And back – and that was enough to put three races on the card and complete the Jeanneau Class Regatta. Don Chow of China Pacific, Jeanneau agents, gave away the prizes with aplomb and good humour, and an excellent time was had by all.

Results will show that David took the gun shortly ahead of Howard with the final podium position taken by Nick. Sailing

Those that had read the Notice of Race would have noticed that given the race was in memory of Martin, they were also asked to dress as Martin. With David, Howard and Nick all having overlooked this requirement, none were eligible to challenge for the main prize of the day, which was for ‘best dressed’.

Those in the running for the main prize were Clive Bunyard who had dressed as a ‘Hiking Martin’, Jo, who with an insider’s advantage having raided Martin’s much coveted sailing wardrobe and Ishi, who had carefully applied duct tape to his shorts and shirt, wore a white floppy hat and sported a beard.

Back ashore, deliberations began in earnest on who to award “’best dressed’. Despite the authenticity of Jo’s outfit; now resplendent with mustard and ketchup, and Clive’s alternative espite a miserable weather forecast in close pursuit.

Unfortunately for Jo (sailing with Brian Henderson), Ffolly’s main halyard broke just before the start and they were not able to compete and instead were forced to limp home sailing without their mainsail against a heavy tide.

The fleet had a clean start with Howard Williams, David Chow and Naoki Ishihara the early pace setters. The tide was clearly going to play an important part in the day’s racing, which was building throughout the afternoon.

The Observatory, who have long since replaced the wet piece of sea weed outside their window with a super computer, have said;

“Up to seven typhoons are expected to hit Hong Kong this year as the Observatory predicts that Hong Kong has a 50/50 chance of transitioning into the La Nina phenomenon in the latter half of 2016. With over 35 years of experience in the yachting industry, we will find and deliver your dream yacht. The La Nina is responsible for cooler autumns and winters, as well as an increase of tropical cyclones from August to October. The Observatory predicted… that four to seven typhoons Dealer in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia for: will sweep into the city from June. However, the number of cyclones is “near normal.”

However they also said recently that;

“During El Niño, there are fewer tropical cyclones developed in April and May and the genesis positions are usually located further east over the western North Pacific compared to the ENSO-neutral state. Hence, tropical cyclones are unlikely to affect the territory before June.” (Who would want be a senior scientific officer in Hong Kong?)

Which was of course correct in 2015 and so let’s hope that the small low pressure that affected us in May was an anomaly. The Americans, at Climate.gov are saying;

“El Niño is still hanging around, and it’s expected to continue through spring or early summer.”

So if that is correct, and the La Nina replaces the El Nino we should be in for a few more Typhoon Signals later in the year.

40 | JUL/AUG 2016 AHOY! SQUASH CONTACT Squash [email protected] WORDS: PAUL DENHAM | PHOTOS: PAUL DENHAM AND KOKO MUELLER

Winter League 2016/17 Entries are due soon for the next season’s winter league. This time we are looking to enter a Masters 1 team in addition to the Div 10 and 15 Other Sports Other as well as Masters 3 teams we have entered the last few years. Masters 1 is a very high level of squash and it will be great to have it played at the Club.

Internal League Box A: Paul Denham continued his good run and finished undefeated again, though some might say he was lucky to get past Patrick Eng 16-14 in the game. Sander Holman came second with 22 points with Patrick third on 19. Box B: Darren Jensen won Box B with 21 points, only losing 1 match to Jai Mehta. Jai and Bruno van Der Schueren tied for second with 17 points and all 3 should find themselves in Box A next month. Box C: Max Von Polenitz won 4 matches to take Box C. Vivian Peters was a distant second with 10 points in a box that didn’t see too many matches played. Hopefully with the courts being available again we’ll The New Courts are Open! see some more action next month. After waiting for one and a half years there is great excitement in the section as the new courts were officially opened on 2 June. Squash Convenor and ‘El Presidente’ Francis Longuepee and Div 15 Convenor and Club stalwart Adrian Pierse were on hand to break in the courts. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond the clubs control the opening was delayed by a few days so we had to postpone the Opening Party we had planned with a few of our friends from some of the other clubs.

Interclub Match: LRC and RHKYC Combined v HKCC For the third year we combined with the LRC to take on the HKCC in an inter-club match with both the LRC and us contributing eight players. There was lots of good squash played and some very tight matches, but unfortunately the HKCC ended up winning them. At the end of the day HKCC won 15-1, with Elliot Froidevaux saving our blushes with a good win. Afterwards, over dinner, it was decided that we should get a trophy for the match so next year we will need to start taking it seriously! Snooker WORDS: DON DAY | PHOTO: KOKO MUELLER

The snooker table has found a new home in the Pat Loseby Room and whilst members have already started to use it, the official launch will be the final of the current championship between Fred Reid and defending champion Robert Mathieson. The match will take place on 7 July with the warm-up at 1830hrs and the start at 1900hrs. Come and witness some great snooker being played and have a drink at the Main Bar afterwards! We can guarantee you some very high-quality frames!
