I left Canada to take up residence in Hong Kong for a couple of years—that was 20 years ago. For the past six years my
wife and I have enjoyed living in the tranquil countryside of Sai Kung. The yacht club is an integral part of our social lives—we
love sailing and we’ve made many good friends at the Club over the years. In addition to sailing our catamaran, Loon, we
enjoy most outdoor sports, especially hiking through Sai Kung’s magnificent countryside.

I studied architecture in Canada and Rome, and have designed hotel and residential projects throughout Asia. I joined the
Club Development Committee a few years ago and the General Committee in 2013. As the new Vice Commodore, my goal
is to help resolve our current lease issues so that the Club may fulfil its primary role as an oasis for members looking to leave
the stresses of the working week behind.

Re ar Commodore - Sailing

My parents were club members and had a boat at HHYC since before I was born (the boat is still there). I grew up
cruising on our family boat and at the age of 11, I joined the KGV sailing club. Every Saturday morning we would sail
toppers around Shelter Cove. I have fond memories of New Year Days being spent on Half Moon Beach playing tug of
war with many other Hebe families, hide-and-seek in the boat yard, barbecues in the garden and, of course, meeting
amazing people. HHYC has changed a lot over the past four decades, but the club is still a place to meet people,
socialise and go sailing or boating.
A few years after returning to Hong Hong from university in the UK, a friend invited me to go racing on Struan. Since then I
have had amazing opportunities and done some fantastic racing, including many regattas around the region and a number
of off-shore races too.
This is my fourth year on the General committee and my third year as Rear Commodore of Sailing.

With my background in electrical engineering, project management, and my extensive experience with local
infrastructure projects, I have helped to steer the Club Development Committee in complying with statutory
requirements for the Club’s lease renewal during the past two years as the Vice Commodore.
My role as the Rear Commodore Sailing for two years has also enriched my understanding of this sport—
especially in the area of race management. Whenever I am not taking part in committee work, I am on a
sailing boat racing, cruising, making deliveries, or helping Sailability sailors on the water.
Sailing is now my life. I have made more friends amongst the yacht clubs over the past few years than in my
30 plus years as a businessman in Hong Kong.

and government departments.
