For
the first time since 1992, with the support of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club
(RHKYC)and the Hong Kong Sailing Federation, Hong Kong entered a team in this
year’s Rolex Commodores’ Cup, held out of Cowes,
England, from
29 June to 6 July. Comprising the cream of Hong Kong’s
big-boat sailors, the Hong Kong Team competed on three boats, namely Yeoman
of Wight, Holmatro and Orient Express, skippered by Jamie McWilliam,
Marty Kaye and Rick Strompf/Inge Strompf-Jepsen respectively. The Team
finished
5th out of 15 national entries, only 14 points behind France Blue.
RHKYC is very pleased to see Hong Kong Team’s achievement under such a strong
competition.
