SLAM Sailing Centre Hong Kong Laser Class Championships Four sailors from Hebe Haven took part in the Hong Kong Laser Class Association Championships over at Middle Island at the end of November. On day one, the weather was particularly challenging, so well done to Antonio Franco for finishing in 3rd place in the Laser 4.7 Division. 白沙灣遊艇會於11月底派出四名選手出戰全港Laser Class級 別錦標賽,比賽當日天氣未如理想,然而 Antonio Franco 排除 萬難,於中間島賽事勇奪 Laser 4.7 組別季軍,為團隊增光。 Thanks to the Development Fund for supporting the Club and sailors The Fund supported us in bringing our Overseas International Race Coach, Raphael Di Donna to Hong Kong for two weeks to train and encourage our Hebe Dragons Racing Team. The Optimist sailors in particular have benefited hugely from his input.
