by Lei Yang on 6 Nov 2007
Longtze Premier, the improved Thompson 8 from China Guy Nowell http://www.guynowell.com
Longtze Premier recently won the Sportsboats division at the inaugural China Cup International Regatta, and is now on the way to Hong Kong for the first Asian International Sportsboats Championship, 11-16 November. The regatta will be followed by HK Harbour Day and the RHKYC Loro Piana Around the Island race.

China Team will be sailing two Longtze Premiers: prototype #2, the red boat which won at the China Cup, and #3 a white boat which has just left the builders' yard. This is the last appearance for the Longtze Premier team this year, but plans are afoot to compete in a number of Asian regattas in 2008.
