Paralympic sailing in Rio, Sailability in Hong Kong
In Rio the 2.4mR, Skud and Sonar classes in the Paralympic sailing regatta have been going at it hammer and tongs since yesterday, full reports below. If you fancy something ‘connected', then Bart's Bash in Hong Kong will involve a 2.4mR class, and contact details are in the Bart's Bash story.
Having been to boat shows from Korea to Genoa, and a great many mediocre ones in between, we were most intrigued to come across a boat show summary from the other side of the pontoon, so to speak. Maybe we are straying into ‘marine business' land here, but never mind. What do boat show organisers think of their visitors? Check it out.
Sailing next weekend (the Bash), sailing last weekend: it must be that time of year. The season has started in earnest in Hong Kong, first with something less than a whimper (there was no breeze at all), and then with a glorious blue skies affair in Victoria Harbour that had 75-odd boats enjoying the sunshine, the 8kts on offer, and the cold beer afterwards. Big boats pay attention – if you weren't practicing over the summer you have just over a month until the China Coast Regatta, and we know what sort of breeze that can mean.
Standing by on 72.
