NATIONS' CUP

Sunday 26 April

This year marks the 15th Anniversary of the Nations’ Cup, a distinctive event in which all crew members on each competing boat must represent the same nationality, determined by place of birth, passport, and language fluency. Any keelboat with a RHKATI rating or a PHS handicap can enter. Are you up for this chance to claim the waters of HK for your country/region?

There are NO restrictions on the number of boats that can enter for a country/region - so if for example there are 30 boats representing Hong Kong, the more the better.
