Kellett Island
Kellett Island in Causeway Bay is the Club's principal base, and acts as parent site to the two smaller branches of the Club at Middle Island in Repulse Bay and Shelter Cove near Sai Kung.
The Clubhouse is a hive of activity throughout the year with regular racing in the harbour every weekend from September to June as well as Friday afternoons through the summer months.
Also bringing the harbour alive are the various large-scale races and regattas that take place out of the Kellett Island site across the three core sports.
