They will participate in the very popular IRC regattas, which mobilizes the island’s whole sailing community every other Sunday, and brings together some sixty odd boats. Another pretext to be present and sail sportboat regattas are Saturday afternoon regattas in Sai Kung. Organized by the Royal Hong-Kong Yacht Club, the sportboat fleet is usually made up of a fleet of Magic 25s. This year, LONGTZE will increase the fleet’s ranks.
