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.
