Tweet about RHKYC’s ZOKE Around the Island Race and win sailing lessons for you and a friend!

Nov. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- We want to see you, your friends and family enjoying the spectacle of 200 boats racing around Hong Kong Island on Sunday 20 November.  

Help track the boats’ progress by sharing your fabulous photo with us and your followers - you stand a chance of winning a sailing course for you and a friend worth $9,000!

It may be that you spot them while on the Star Ferry, while enjoying lunch at Lei Yue Mun, hiking on the Dragon’s Back, shopping at Ap Lei Chau or soaking up the sun at Shek O.  

Other possible vantage points include Chai Wan waterfront, Big Wave Bay, Stanley and Kennedy Town Praya, or perhaps you’re from out of town staying in a hotel with a Harbour view?

Wherever you are along the coast of Hong Kong Island on Sunday 20 November, at some point between 0830hrs and 1700hrs, you should see the parade of sails passing by.  

To enter, all you have to do is tweet a photo of any of the boats competing in the ZOKE Around the Island Race and get your friends, family and followers to retweet your picture!
