The Four Peaks Race is never complete without a glittering prize-giving held on the club's forecourt with bustling Aberdeen Harbour as its backdrop . . .

 

On the 25th of January, 12 boats set off from Tai Tam to contest Hong Kong's challenging Four Peaks Race. Conditions were tough, with the race committee recording winds speeds of up to 22 knots . . .

 

After being postponed due to Tropical Cyclone Trami on Saturday, the 26th of October last year, the Sun Hung Kai & Co Around the Island Race 2024 . . .

 

What a weekend it turned out to be! The sun shone, the sea sparkled and the wind blew 10 knots, sometimes 12, from the northeast. It's hard to beat Hong Kong in those conditions . . .

 

Fifty-three boats enjoyed some fresh (and cold!) sailing in Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour on the 11th of January as they competed in the HKRNVR Memorial Vase 2025 . . .

 

Early on Wednesday, the first day of January 2025, it was drizzling. Fine rain that made everything feel damp. Strange, because the Observatory was saying it was dry. Anyway, the drizzle didn't last long . . .

 

After the excesses of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a time for recovery, quiet contemplation and sleep. Lots of sleep . . .

 

'On the coldest day of winter thus far, the YMC Alma Mater Race, sponsored by the World Martime Merchants Forum, took place on Sunday . . .

 

'Force 4-5, occasionally 6'. Going by what the Observatory and Wind Guru were saying, wind was almost guaranteed for Saturday, the rest of the weekend and well into the next week . . .

 

'The northeast monsoon is now affecting southern China and will strengthen gradually tomorrow,' said the Observatory's website. And for Sunday, the 8th of December 2024, the temperature was expected to fall from the previous day's high of 23 degrees to 16 degrees overnight . . .

 

"We're going around Kau Sai Chau," was the word onshore as sailors and race officials passed through the club on the morning of Sunday, the 7th of December 2024 . . .

 

Hebe Haven Yacht Club parties get better, and better. There's fun, there's food, there's music and happy memories whether it's a prize-giving, a social occasion or a good old-fashioned Christmas party . . .
