(Hong Kong, China)- More fascinating sailing development in Asia. As
sailing activity continues to grow faster in China and the rest of Asia,
the three principal sailing clubs on Hong Kong's amazing harbor- Royal
Hong Kong YC, Aberdeen Boat Club and Hebe Haven YC- are coordinating
with the Hong Kong Police Sailing Club to host the Police World Sailing
Championship on International J/80 One-Designs. Talking about
broadening the scope of sailing and participation on a global scale!
Police teams from around the world have been practicing on J/80s,
wherever they can find them, to prepare for this extraordinary event. The J/80 Police Worlds will be held in Hong Kong from Oct 21st to 27th. The event is being sponsored by the Hong Kong Police and a company called "SF Express" - a well known "FedEx" type company that services Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. Thirteen teams from Hong Kong (3), Australia, England (2), Ireland, Austria, Netherlands, Germany (2) and Switzerland (2) will be participating. Rumor has it that several police teams believe Lauren Mead's all-girls team on the J/80 HAKAWATI, recent winners of Hebe Haven YC's Typhoon J/80 Series, may have the magic ingredients for coaching better tactics and strategy in the capricious waters of Hong Kong Harbour!
