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.

Jarno Trulli in testing at Hockenheim
Jarno Trulli took over from
Timo Glock to conclude Panasonic Toyota Racing's three-day test programme at
Hockenheim. Like Timo on Wednesday, Jarno used a ‘shark fin' engine cover for
his installation lap to test the stability of the configuration but then reverted
to a standard engine cover as a base for the day's testing. Jarno focused on
the upcoming German Grand Prix at Hockenheim, working on different aerodynamic
set-ups as well as getting experience of the medium and hard Bridgestone
Potenza tyres in use next weekend. He enjoyed a reliable day's running and
finished with 129 laps in the book. The team's next action also comes at
Hockenheim, when practice for the German Grand Prix begins next Friday.
