(Hong Kong, China)- Over the weekend of October 12th to 14th the Royal
Hong Kong YC hosted the China Coast Regatta. The event is three days of
Big Boat racing in the best sailing conditions that Hong Kong has to
offer. The China Coast Regatta is staged in the waters on the southern
side of Hong Kong with the backdrop of the enormous mountain ridges that
form the backbone of the Island as the backdrop. With 15 to 20 knots
of north-easterly breeze in shorts, shades and t-shirt weather is your
sort of sailing, then it's pretty darn hard to come by more spectacular
sailing anywhere in the world.In IRC 2 Racing class, the J/109 WHISKEY JACK sailed by Nick Southward managed to sail to three 4ths and two 5ths to finish 4th overall in the regatta. For more China Coast Regatta sailing information
