Philosophy & Vision

  • YMC Alma Mater Race will be a racing event for fun, in the same way as Nations' Cup.
  • To promote the sport of sailing to wider general public as well as to build a soft linkage to colleges / local universities.
  • To create new dynamics and additional "horizontal" bonding among Members of the RHKYC community.
