Asia’s Sailing Soul: Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club

• April 21, 2022

With its Kellett Island clubhouse set in the heart of Victoria Harbour, the storied Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is an icon in the sailing world. Yet although RHKYC embraces its fascinating history dating back to the mid-19th century, Asia’s biggest and most active yacht club remains committed to positive changes. Words: Guy Nowell Photos: RHKYC & Guy Nowell  

RHKYC’s main site at Kellett Island

The history of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is long and illustrious, beginning with the first regatta of the Victoria Regatta Club in 1849.

Thereafter, in the best Hong Kong tradition of acquisitions and mergers, it involved the Yacht Club, the Victoria Regatta Club, a German gymnasium, the Hong Kong Corinthian Sailing Club, the Victoria Recreation Club (which still exists) and the Hong Kong Yacht Club.

The club runs the busiest racing calendar in Asia

In 1894, after a polite request, Buckingham Palace advised that “the Queen approves of the Hong Kong Yacht Club having the title of Royal” and the warrant was granted that authorised members to “fly the Blue Ensign of Her Majesty’s Fleet, with the distinguishing marks of the Club thereon”. The RHKYC had arrived.

The Club has been housed in numerous premises over the years: Yau Ma Tei, Wanchai, North Point and Causeway Bay. Kellett Island, the present home of the Club, was an island in 1937 when the Hong Kong Government gave permission for RHKYC to use the land, although it has long been absorbed by advancing reclamation.

The main bar captures the club’s history

The present clubhouse was built in 1939 and commissioned in 1940, only to be shut down by the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong in December 1941. Today, the Kellett Island clubhouse remains very much ‘headquarters’ for the RHKYC and houses plenty of tributes to the Club’s fascinating history.

Denis Martinet, current Commodore of the RHKYC, says: “Our history is very much alive and well, and an important part of the Club’s ethos. Our history is hanging on our walls, literally. We are still racing for trophies that mark occasions – or remind us of people – that have marked the pages of our story.

RHKYC Commodore Denis Martinet

“But we are not mired in the past. We are a dynamic and evolving organisation that moves with the times and always seeks to remain relevant in both social and strictly sporting terms.”

The Kellett Island facility includes two restaurants (fine dining and casual), three bars, squash courts, a bowling alley and pool table, snooker room, swimming pool, gymnasium, children’s playroom, Youth Club room, changing rooms, and all the administrative offices that keep the place going.

The pool is among popular facilities

In addition, it has probably Hong Kong’s best repair and maintenance boatyard for private vessels and a large hard standing area that’s home to several one-design racing fleets.

SOUTH SIDE TO SAI KUNG

But that’s not all. Middle Island, on the south side of Hong Kong island, became part of the RHKYC portfolio in 1937. It was originally set up as a home for Comet class boats before the Rowing Section joined in, finding Deepwater Bay to be a more congenial location for rowing than the harbour.

The Middle Island clubhouse off HK Island’s south side

A year later, after a typhoon had demolished both the boats and the single mat-shed, a new brick clubhouse was constructed and still exists as the topmost level of the clubhouse facilities.

Middle Island remains the Club’s centre for rowing, which includes coastal rowing, outrigger paddling and SUP activities. Its F&B facilities include the city’s best barbecue deck and an enormous hard standing catering to the Club’s dinghies and sail training fleet, with room to spare to accommodate visiting World Championship fleets and other large-scale international events.

RHKYC has a strong junior sailing programme

The Middle Island Sail Training Centre runs a full menu of courses (pandemics permitting) for aspiring sailors aged six years old all the way to grown-up. In 2020 a grand total of 2,698 students completed courses ranging from Optimist beginners to adult racing. Middle Island is also the home of the Club’s dedicated junior racing squad, the RHKYC Sharks.

The Club’s third property, Shelter Cove, near Sai Kung, started life in the 1960s as the Shelter Cove Yacht Club and was ‘merged into’ the RHKYC in 1975. Shelter Cove is a small haven of peace and much beloved by the Club’s cruising members.

Its 120-plus swing moorings give access straight onto the beautiful cruising grounds of Port Shelter and all points east. The clubhouse itself offers F&B service, an ideal spot for a sundowner and changing rooms. The large hard standing accommodates two of the Club’s racing classes – the Dragons and the Sportsboats – and a car park.

BIGGEST AND BUSIEST

RHKYC has often been touted as the ‘largest yacht club in the world’ by membership. At last count, there were 14,147 members encompassing 43 nationalities, of which some 8,000 are presently absent from Hong Kong. That leaves over 6,000 active members in the SAR. Martinet points out that the composition of the membership has changed substantially since World War II.

Members dress up for the Nations’ Cup; membership totals 14,000

“At that time, there were no Chinese members at all,” he says. “In the 1980s, it was still 60 per cent expatriates. Today it’s more than 60 per cent local members, while we continue to work to bring down the average age of the membership. Our younger members are our future.”

In recent years, the Club has gone to some lengths to make membership as accessible as possible. In addition to the traditional Ordinary and Full memberships, the RHKYC offers both Corporate and Individual Debenture memberships, and Junior (18-32) and Short Term memberships. But be warned: there’s still a waiting list.

Races to the Philippines have been run since 1962

As well as sailing, rowing remains a core activity of the RHKYC. The Rowing Section is an active participant in local regattas up to national level and a frequent winner in all classes at the annual National Championships. When travel restrictions allow, the Club’s oarsmen and ladies are regular competitors at regional events throughout Asia.

For the sailors, the sailing and racing programme is practically non-stop. The season runs from September to May, but racing continues even in the ‘off season’.

The Club schedules 16 major regattas and races in a typical year’s programme including the ‘blue riband’ Rolex China Sea Race down to the Philippines (first sailed in 1962) and the Hong Kong to Vietnam Race (from 1996), which were held in alternate years before Covid prevented recent editions.

Filling in the spaces in the calendar are weekly races for the Etchells fleet and the Dragons, Pandoras and Ruffians, the Flying 15s, Impalas, Sportsboats and J/80s. Records for the 2020-21 season show that the principal Club events engaged 863 boat entries and 4,580 sailor entries.

Volunteers play a huge role in organising events

“It’s a packed programme,” the Commodore acknowledges, with no exaggeration at all. “You can’t do it without volunteers – thank you, all! – and it’s part of the Club’s culture that we never seem to be short of volunteers.”

SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Mindful of its visibility as a centre of sporting excellence, the Club works exceptionally hard to be “green, sustainable, and environmentally friendly”. Since 2016, there have been no single-use plastic bottles on any of the RHKYC premises. None. And no plastic single-use takeaway containers, yoghurt pots or cutlery.

The Around The Island Race is Hong Kong’s most popular sailing event

Martinet is very supportive of all green initiatives. “You have to start somewhere. Members didn’t take long to get used to bringing their own water bottles when heading for the race course, and refilling them from the dispensers provided. Such initiatives are indicative of intent,” he says.

“All the Club’s major regattas and class races are conducted under Gold Status as certified by Clean Regattas – Sailors for the Sea. It’s just part of the Club’s Sustainability Policy, which serves as a roadmap for cultivating and operating a healthier, more sustainable yachting and rowing community.”

The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club is one of the very few sporting clubs around the world which can properly be described as ‘iconic’. Today, it stands as a proud and visible marker on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, enjoying commanding views of one of the world’s greatest harbours.

Unlike some other clubs in Asia, which are really marinas with an occasional regatta, the RHKYC is the real deal. It is, de facto, the doyenne of yacht clubs in Asia.

Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club

Founded in 1890, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club isone of the largest yacht clubs in the world. It was the only Hong Kong club that kept the €œRoyal€ in its title post-handover, although its Chinese name is simply the Hong Kong Yacht Club. Unsurprisingly, membership is contingent on an interest in rowing or sailing.

The club offers sailing courses to non-members, though priority is given to members. Sitting under the umbrellas on the terrace of its Middle Island clubhouse is surely one of the most relaxing spots in Hong Kong. Junior memberships at a reduced fee are also available.

Short-term memberships have no entrance fee but a higher monthly charge applies. To be eligible you must be over 29, demonstrate experience and active participation in sailing or rowing and confirm that you expect to reside in Hong Kong for no more than two years. Short-term membership cannot be extended, and may only be enjoyed once.

Facilities: Sailing, rowing, dragonboating, moorings, berths (Shelter Cove), restaurants; Kellett Island has four restaurants, a swimming pool, bowling alley, squash courts and hardstands.

Entrance fees: $91,800 (ordinary single), $137,700 (ordinary married) to $2,250,000 (corporate nominee).

Monthly fees: vary up to $2,130, according to membership type (including building levy and minimum food and beverage charge).

Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club applies for modernisation of facilities at Shelter Cove, Sai Kung

The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club facilities at Shelter Cove (Che Keng Tuk) have been in existence since before 1990, before the marina was opened in 2006. Some of the existing facilities are quite old and inadequate for existing use. However, under the current zoning of “Recreation”, any new buildings require planning permission. The Yacht Club has recently made an application to Town Planning Board for some of its minor structures relating to better accommodating the existing operations.

The location of the marina

The existing lease has a maximum permitted development of 500 sqm and a maximum building height restriction of 6.65m above the mean formation level of the land on which the building or structure stands or such height as may be approved by the Director. The lease is being replaced by a new lease which is currently under preparation by the District Lands Office and is understood to include similar development controls. During the process of preparing the new lease, a site inspection identified some storage containers and the guard house as new structures, and not “existing structures” as before. They have been removed from the site as requested. The main purpose of the application is to obtain planning approval for structures to carry out the functions incidental to the existing Yacht Club operations.

Under the new lease the Yacht Club facilities will be open to sharing with other eligible groups and by non-members. The proposed structures will better accommodate these activities.

On the 26 April 2022 a submission was made to the Buildings Department for approval of temporary storage facilities and staff offices to replace the previous facilities which have been removed. On 27 May 2022, DPO/SK&Is advised the Authorised Person and Buildings Department that the proposal could not be approved as planning permission had not been obtained. This application is in direct response to that advice.

The site as shown in the OZP

The application site is shown above which is an extract from the approved Hebe Haven Outline Zoning Plan (OZP) No. S/SK-HH/8. The site is zoned “Recreation” and the Yacht Club with its existing use classified as “Marina” under Column 2. However, any new development related to Marina use requires permission from the Town Planning Board. As such, any structure which is not an existing structure related to the existing Yacht Club use requires planning approval.

Under the Notes for the “Recreation” zone, there are no restrictions on building height, site coverage or plot ratio for marina related facilities. However, there are restrictions on residential development with the limit of a maximum plot ratio of 0.2 and maximum building height of 2 storeys (6m). “New Territories Exempted House” is not subject to this restriction on residential development. Therefore, there are no such restrictions relevant to the facilities proposed in the application.

There is no provision under the Notes to the Recreation zone for temporary uses of the nature proposed, so the application is for permanent use and buildings. These new facilities will replace the previous storage and office use which were not approved nor existing structures.

The existing and planned facilities

The application is for an Ancillary Guard House and Refuse Collection Point, Ancillary Storage Facilities and Staff Office, Additional Toilets and Modification to the Kitchen for the existing Yacht Club. The proposal is shown above which indicates the location of the existing and proposed facilities on the site as shown below.

Building 1: Ancillary Staff Office and Storage:

Staff are employed to manage the operation of the marine facilities, such as the crane which lifts the sailing boats into and out of the water. They are also responsible for essential management and maintenance of the boat storage facilities both on the land and the water. Training programmes are operated from the site and these are managed by coaches and training officers who also need a small office space to operate from. There is currently no office facility on the site to provide for these essential support services. The proposed ancillary office space with a small storage space is a building of 1 storey of approximately 60.8sqm and located at the north of the existing electric sub-station. Building 2: Ancillary Storage:

There is a need for ancillary storage facilities for the operation of the Yacht Club facilities. These will be used for the storage of small boats, sails, safety equipment, race management equipment such as buoys, paddles and oars. Also, there is a need to store replacement and maintenance material related to the pontoons, marine berths and boat storage equipment. The proposed ancillary storage space of 1 storey, is approximately 105.9 sqm floor area and located at southeast of the existing electric sub-station.

Ancillary Refuse Collection Point:

The existing refuse collection point (RCP) is barricaded with yellow plastic barriers to help prevent wild boars from ravaging the collected refuse. It is proposed that an ancillary RCP of 1 storey to be built providing a sustainable solution to good management of the refuse. The structure will be a roofed-over store room with two permanent openings on two sides. It is approximately 8.2sqm, and located southeast to the existing electricity sub-station between the ancillary storage space.

Ancillary Guard House:

The previous guard house was considered not an existing structure. The proposed guard house is located at the entry barrier to the car park and is where the security staff are based and it is an essential operational facility The proposed guard house of 1 storey has an area of approximately 2.25 sqm.

Additional Toilets and Modification to the Kitchen:

At present the only toilets located on the site are within the male and female changing rooms. The changing rooms, only providing 2 urinals and 2 flush toilets for the Male Toilet, and 2 flush female toilets. They are heavily used and it is often inappropriate for people using the eating facilities to use the toilet facilities in the crowded changing rooms. The changing rooms are also located some distance from the eating area. It is therefore proposed to add three additional toilets near the eating area.

The kitchen area is quite small and some facilities such as freezers and serving areas are located outside the kitchen. It is proposed to revise the layout of the existing kitchen so that some of the external space is included within the walls of the kitchen. This will provide a much more efficient and safer arrangement.

Tatler Asia

The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club

Slip on your Sperry’s and sling your jacket over your shoulder—this is the place to be for yachties and rowers alike. At each of the club’s three waterfront locations, you can enhance your skills with a variety of courses or rent the club’s dinghies at your leisure

 Once you are back on dry land, schmooze with like-minded individuals as you sip on specially curated and subsidised wines.

There are plenty of other facilities for landlubbers too, including restaurants, a bowling alley, gym, pool and squash courts. 

Wine and dine: There are an array of dining establishments, including fine dining at the Compass Room, casual coffee shop fare, a bar and deck, and BBQ and a-la-carte dining at Middle Island and Shelter Cove.

For the family:  This is a great place to encourage your mini-me’s love of the water with fantastic courses starting from the age of 6.

Little non-sailors have been kept in mind throughout each location too, with playrooms, playgrounds, pool parties, board games and other fun things for them to do.

Joining and Membership Fee: For the cheapest fees, you’ll need to prove your experience in sailing or rowing and show your willingness to participate in activities with the club.

Tatler Tip: Pull an all-nighter at the lavish Regatta Ball. Time will fly as you enjoy endless champagne, the finest delicacies and live entertainment.

If you’re still standing at 7am, paste on a smile for the infamous "Survivors’ Photo".
