NATIONS' CUP

Sunday 4 May

Any keelboat with a RHKATI rating or a PHS handicap can enter. The unique feature is that everybody on board an individual boat must be of the same nationality - born, passport, language fluency. 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.
