The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club's J/80 fleet continues to grow annually and has gained a loyal following that is the envy of not just Asian-based one-design keelboat fleets, but other one-design groups in the rest of the world.

Fostering a family-oriented vision and having fun over blood-thirsty competition, the RHKYC's J/80 fleet has seen amazing participation in the 2019/2020 Winter Series program. Starting in October and ending in February, there have been twenty J/80 teams scored in the nine-race series so far.

Leading the series is Antoine Segaud & Jasper Ten Berge's Jammin with a remarkably low net score of 15 points net after two discards. Sitting in second is Henry Wong's Footloose with a 19 points net scoreline. Then, currently holding on to the bronze step on the podium is Romain Le Chevallier's Jelignite with 21 points net.

Currently, rounding out the top five are Fraser Boyd and Peter Lake's Joss in fourth, with Tam Nguyen's Jahoo in fifth place.
