Please Support Us!
Boats:
Hong Kong based Corporate sponsors, other charities and various other suporting organisations have enabled us to grow our fleet of sailing dinghies to 28 plus 3 safety boats.
Our dinghy fleet is now somewhat old and we need to start replacing them in order to stay competitive internationally and/or to reduce our maintenance costs. The latter has now become a major headache. Additionally and to meet increased demand from the general public, we need another 3 boats - the Hansa 303's and the new Paralympic class.
Insurance:
The annual insurance costs are over HK$150,000
Maintenance:
Annual maintenance costs exceed HK150,000 for dinghies alone and our safety boats another HK$60,000
New Sails:
The Hong Kong climate is very unkind! Sails last about 2 years and have to be replaced. With 28 boats and a cost of some HK$3,000 - 5,000 per set dependent upon class, this represents a huge outlay.
Thank You!!
