It was grey, gray, graie, all shades of grey and wet, wet, wet, all week leading up to the big day when 18 yachts would set of for the year’s first real challenge for DBYC’s intrepid yachties (except for those who had just performed spectacularly in the RHKYC Subic Race, Vega, Kei Lun and Xena, the former two yachts somehow presenting themselves ready to rock for Paolo’s premier event), The Round Lantau Race. No puddling about Peng Chau and Sunshine island on a mill pond for this one with Thunder and Lightning, F4-F5 winds and Amber rainstorms predicted it was going to be a challenge all right.

Yachting is a many splendored thing but often defies logical and sane explanation. On the
morning of Sat 10th March a quick look out the window would have sent most people back
under the covers for some well earned shut eye, especially most of those DBYC members

The fifth celebration of these beautiful islands and their protected anchorages was arguably the best yet! Some 17 boats participated, ranging from mini yachts, junks and stink-boats to elegant swans.The assorted crews, some 100 revellers, descended on South Soko to enjoy the festivities.The weather was typically kind, with the forecast thunderstorms registering a DNS.

Once again we had a fantastic day for the Discovery Bay Regatta. This was Allegro‘s 3rd running of the event and they had a great time on the Committee Boat as always. Read on for the full Race Officer’s report...

Testing a new format is always a challenge and doing it for a prestige event as the Tsing Ma Regatta, it's a risky one nonetheless. But turns out changes are not always bad and with a great fleet and great winds, we had great days on the water. The Tai O Race is here to stay!

Race 1 of this year’s Middle Island Regatta was the first time a DBYC event has been included in the COA Championship and it was a delight to welcome three new visitors to join the fun: GA, No One Else and Chota Seye. Also new to the DBYC fleet was Legs Eleven just arrived in time from her delivery trip from Subic.

Yes, it’s been 10 YEARS already, since the DBYC’s first event back in September 1999, so we decided to hold a fun pursuit race, raft-up and party to celebrate!

The scheduled day for the DB Regatta, aka ’The Booze Cruise‘, Saturday, 27th June, saw the arrival of TS Nangka.  The storm didn’t reach its forecast F7 winds, but was bad enough for us to cancel the Olympic course planned for that morning, even though the medals had already been engraved with Saturday’s date. After a revised briefing in the Bilge Bar at 1130 it was also decided to postpone Race 2 until Sunday. Luckily, Willy and his Whaler were still available to act as Safety boat for the race the following day.
