(Hong Kong, China)- 78 boats representing 23 nations were on the start
line earlier today for the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club's most fun
regatta, the Nation's Cup which is as much about the activities on land
as it is about those on the water. Race Officer Sofia Mascia started
the fleet in an easterly wind ranging from 15 to 20kts from Hung Hom and
sent them eastwards through the Lei Yue Mun gap and then on to Shek O.
The race course saw boats then head to Cape Collinson where they rounded
a mark (TCS4) before going back to Shek O and then it was a dash
through the harbour to the finish line back at the Club.
The J/111 MOJITO- Simon Blore from England Team finished 7th in the Big
Boat Division behind some TP52s and larger racing boats. For more Royal Hong Kong YC Nations' Cup sailing information
