Glorious Day 1 - RHKYC Autumn Regatta powered by Audi

CAUSEWAY BAY, Hong Kong - Sept. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- With a significant number of constructions barges moving around in the Kellett Island area, Race Officer Simon Boyde had no choice but to set a Hung Hom start for all classes. The geometric courses he selected encompassed all the Club’s standard harbour marks, taking boats on a harbour tour via Shau Kei Wan, Tai Koo Shing and Kowloon Bay.

For the majority of the races, the breeze held at 090-100 degrees and around 11 to 12kts, better than forecast. With one general recall and three boats scored OCS, there were no protests to be heard after racing. The provisional results are available at http://www.rhkyc.org.hk/aurresults.aspx and show the current leaders in each Class or Division to be:

Class          Boat / Helm
