Second ASAF Youth Sailing Cup Wraps Up

The second ASAF Youth Sailing Cup wrapped up at Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club Middle Island, Hong Kong with Hong Kong, Indian and Chinese sailors coming out on top across various classes.

Since racing had to be abandoned yesterday due thick fog and near Nil wind conditions, the sailors and volunteers had their fingers crossed overnight and hoped that the weather gods brought back the breeze and cleared the fog in time for the final day of racing.

Principal Race Officer Charlie Manzoni said, “It was an absolutely fantastic day today; we had 10 to 12kts right across the whole race course area. We got two round robins in for the Optimists as well as a Medals race and a Finals race. We got three races in for all the other fleets. We caught up and I’m very grateful to all of the competitors for letting us do that and the whole thing has been really good, it’s been a good way to end it.”

The prize giving ceremony was held after racing at Middle Island. RHKYC Rear Commodore Sailing Anthony Day thanked the competitors, the Race Officers and Regatta Committee.

Chairman Peter Davies addressed the crowed thanking his regatta committee and the over 100 volunteers that were required to run the regattas and added that HKYC looked forward to welcoming even more competitors to the 2016 Hong Kong Race Week!

Leo Wong of the Hong Kong Government’s Leisure and Cultural Services Departments presented the prizes to the sailors.

On behalf of ASAF we thank HKSF and RHKYC for hosting the regatta and look forward to the event growing in the future. We also look forward to a great competition at Singapore in March 2015 the third event of the ASAF Youth Sailing Cup series and the Grand Finale at Abu Dhabi in April 2015.
