Hebe Jebes Issue Sep to Oct 2013 Sep 2013 | Page 4
Publisher’s note
Welcome aboard the new look Hebe Jebes.
The 50th Anniversary celebrations and book went a long way
to demonstrating just how much the Club has developed since
the first unofficial clubhouse with a 6’ x 12’ wooden hut and a
bar made out of packing cases which were first ‘installed’ in 1963.
From humble beginnings the members and staff have together
built Hebe Haven Yacht Club into what it is today. Likewise,
Hebe Jebes has grown with the Club too—and a huge thanks to
everyone who has helped make that happen over the years. So
while we’ve given the mag a new look, we also want to preserve
the essence of what Hebe Jebes always was: a round-up of events
in and around the Club, information on upcoming boating and
club events, and sharing a few stories from members along the
way too. I hope we do the Club and Hebe Jebes justice.
In this issue, as well as the usual roundup of the boating news
and reports from the Commodore, flag officers and various club
committees, we say goodbye to the outgoing Commodore David
Campbell and welcome back Mark Ashton as the new Commodore
following the handing over of the flags at the AGM on 6 September.
Check out the News section for details of the full lineup of flag
officers and Committee Members.
Sailability is sending two teams to South Korea, after being invited
to represent Hong Kong in the Access 303 Dinghy Sailing at the
Asian Para Games next year (page 32). We look at how to get a
private mooring—with over 30 currently available around Hong
Kong (page 42). Our team also went to meet the Captain and
crew of the Colombian Navy’s training ship ARC Gloria—the
1,300 ton vessel that sailed into Hong Kong on 23 August on its
round-the-world voyage (page 34).
Hebe Jebes is very much your magazine, and your contributions
are welcomed. So have your say—whether it be questions or
comments about the Club, issues you’d like to put to the Marine
Depar tment, suggestions for things you’d like covered in upcoming
issues, boating and club stories you’d like to share, or simply a
few snaps of club friends and family—please submit them to:
[email protected]. We will do our best to publish all
submissions, and for questions we’ll do our best to help you find
out who, what, where, when and maybe even why—and share
useful findings with everyone in the Club.
Happy reading…
