Chinese New Year - Speedboats & Laisee
As is the tradition, the Club coxswains will be celebrating the first two days of the CNY holiday with their families, so there won't be any speedboat service on those days.  Also, they will finish a little earlier on Chinese New Year's eve in order to join their family celebrations in good time. 

So, the speedboat service over CNY will be:

Saturday Feb 13 - normal holiday schedule in the morning.  Last pickup from Tai Tam pier @ 2:15 pm, last ferry from beach @ 3:00 pm.
Sunday Feb 14 - no speedboat service
Monday Feb 15 - no speedboat service
Tuesday Feb 16 - holiday schedule
 
If you'd like to go for a sail on Feb 14 or 15, please use the steps to get to the beach and ask Club Secretary Chris for the combination to the locked box where we keep a key to the clubhouse and sailshed.  Please note there won't be any speedboat safety cover on those days.

Laisee - if you'd like to recognise the coxswain's contribution to the Club, please feel free to give them a red packet.  It will be very much appreciated by them.

Your Views on Training
The Club is evaluating our training needs for the year, and would like to hear from members about the level, scope and frequency of training you would prefer.  Please email your thoughts on training to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Chris ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) before CNY. 

Gus Irani Trophy - Sunday Feb 28
An old Club favourite!  Race around local islands and marks, and finish near Po Toi.  Enjoy a local seafood meal before setting sail for the Club.  Skippers' briefing at 10:30 with racing to start soon after.

Cheung Chau Challenge - March 13 & 14

A Club vs. Club challenge weekend.  The Hobie Club (sailing Hobie 16s) will take on LBC (sailing Hobie 16s & Dart 18s).  Sailors can stay overnight on Cheung Chau (the Warwick Hotel is right by the sailing beach) and enjoy a seafood dinner and the Cheung Chau nightlife. Everyone is welcome to join in the Challenge, so find yourself a boat and crew and join in this classic event.
