Deep Water Bay Regatta 2008 - Invitation (Chinese)

Promoted as a “dragon boat race for paddlers organized by paddlers”, the Hong Kong Island Paddle Club invites old and new teams to our annual event in the calm (normally) and deep (always) waters of Deep Water Bay on the 25th May, 2008.

This event has grown from humble beginnings in 1999 and now offers a race of about 70 teams, including some of the best teams in Hong Kong. There are five different categories; men, women, mixed, post-secondary education and juniors. In 2005 we welcomed our first overseas entry from Singapore.

As regular participants in races in Hong Kong, Asia and South Africa and having competed in World, Asian and World Crew Club Championships, HKIPC believes it can provide race organization alongside the best.

We offer dragon boat teams in Hong Kong an additional race in which to participate, and one which offers no lane, or boat advantage. We guarantee each team at least three races and we make stringent efforts to keep on schedule and do our best to make the races highly competitive with an element of fun.

As of 2005 we have been supported by the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee so there were medals to be won as well as cups.

So if you are interested but haven’t been and want to find out more send Margaret Yu an email and request copies of our DVDs for the races to find out what racing in Deep Water Bay is all about.

We have a self-imposed limit on the number of teams we can accommodate, so don’t delay in your application if you wish to join us for what we hope will be an even better Deep Water Bay race in 2008. You can find the application form here on our website soon.
