Six yachts had an immediate impact when they joined the Hebe Haven Yacht Club’s Nautica Typhoon Series 2012 in its second race day on Sunday June 24, having missed the first day a fortnight ago due to other racing commitments.
Entries for races two and three of the popular Hebe Haven regatta in Hong Kong were strengthened by the addition of Freefire and Surfdude in IRC-A Division and EFG Bank Mandrake, Orient Express, Sell Side Dream and Elektra in IRC-B Division.
Koh Samui Regatta
Surfdude and Orient Express are now back in Hong Kong following completion of the Taiwan Strait Race. Meanwhile, EFG Bank Mandrake returned after a successful trip to Koh Samui Regatta where they had won the IRC One Class series – Elektra and Sell Side Dream also competed in the IRC One Class of the six-day, six-race series around the Thailand island Koh Samui.
Mr Frank Chan’s Freefire came third in the Koh Samui Regatta in the IRC Zero Class division, behind Neil Pryde’s HiFi (second) and Mui Mui from Hong Kong came fourth in this class. The Zero Class was won by Hooligan owned by Marcus Blackmore, from Australia, and Jeff Hill’s Maxi Genuine Risk, who frequently races in Hong Kong waters, but under the Australian flag, brought up the rear.
