Hebe Haven Yacht Club established in 1963, is a private members club located in the bay of Pak Sha Wan (Hebe Haven) in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.
Objectives The Club's main objectives are to unite boat owners and promote boating activities and to provide boating facilities. Since its inception, the members have worked hard to maintain the boating character of their club. Most are water sport enthusiasts and are keen to see the club remain focused on its roots.
Facilities and operations The Club has comprehensive marine facilities at competitive prices, when compared to the other main yacht club's in Hong Kong, Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and Aberdeen Boat Club. The Club currently has 240 swing moorings and hard standings and provides slipping and craning services and boat repair and maintenance facilities. In 2003 an extension to the Club increased the hard standing and provided extra marina berthing.
Racing Yacht racing is very popular among Hebe members and races are held almost every weekend. The most popular series for cruisers in Hong Kong, the "Typhoon Series" attracts a significant number of entrants every summer. Participation is open to all.
Sail training The Club owns 50 dinghies and runs dinghy sail training courses for members and non members. The club's fleet includes 10 Optimists, 15 Laser Pico, 9 Laser Standard, 4 Laser Bahia, 4 Laser Stratos and 1 VX-One. Dinghy racing and supervised dinghy practice sessions are held almost every weekend with enthusiasm for this being led by the junior members of the Club. The Club also now runs an annual 24 Hour Charity Dinghy Race every autumn where other clubs and organizations are encouraged to participate. The sailing centre manager is Rob Allen and he has taken the Sail Training centre to new heights. The club also employs approximately a dozen Assistant Instructors from within the club's junior sailors to assist with operations.
