ABC Opening Regatta 2013 (7 – 8 Sept)
Left to right: Timothée Bourrut Lacouture, Zoe Bruwer & Arthur Hainz
September 7 and 8 were certainly the best days in a long
time, with a nice steady wind and a blue sky over the Stanley
area for the first regatta of the new season.
9月7至8日，天朗氣清，久違了的藍天碧海，為赤柱第一場帆
船大賽揭開序幕。
After a very good start in most of the races (sometimes you
could only see HHYC in the first three positions), our sailors
tried to follow the others but too many tacks slowed them
down. The first race went excellently, with Timothée reaching
18th position. In the second and third races, it was Arthur’s
turn to catch up—making 18th place in the second and 16th
in the third—with Zoe a few boats behind. As for Timothée
and Nathan, they were left together trying to find the best
path. The heat was strong at that time!
At the end of the day, both Alfred and I thought they would
be exhausted from their day and we would have a quiet
journey back in the car. This was not the case at all—the
entire race was forgotten and the team was in full shape to
sing and laugh.
