(Hong Kong, China)- The fifth Hong Kong J/80 Class Championships will be
held on the 1st & 2nd of November. The event is organized by the
Royal Hong Kong YC, one of the oldest sailing clubs in Asia with a
history dating back as far as 1890. Expected to be the biggest
international J/80 event in Asia thus far, over twenty J/80's are
planning to participate with some of the high profile sailors from the
region. This year a number of visiting teams will travel down from
Mainland China to test their skills against the local fleet.The regatta will be sailed off the southern tip of Lamma island, in open waters. November typically offers optimal sailing conditions; East-North Easterly breezes of between 12 and 18 knots, a light swell and clear blue skies. Add in local hospitality, stunning location and facilities of the host- the Royal Hong Kong YC- and its no wonder this event is growing in popularity.
