Additional Regatta Information:
Hong Kong's most popular pursuit race this year sees a return to going ALL the way Around The Island. The first full circumnavigation race was held on 20 November 1983 in a clockwise direction but this format last took place in 1994. In recent years, the increased traffic from expanded ferry services and mainland coastal shipping has led the government's Marine Department to consistently negate yacht racing in the harbour's central and western areas. Both the start and finishing lines will be set in the Harbour, in the vicinity of the Royal Hong Hong Yacht Club, representatives from organizing parties and sponsors of the event will be invited to officiate at the Opening Ceremony. |
