The ABC Summer Series, often known as “The Restaurant Series,” has six races on summer Sundays from late May to late August, all ending at either the Middle Island Clubhouse or a seafood restaurant on an island, such as Po Toi, Lamma, Cheung Chau or Peng Chau. If it is a slow race, sailing boats may even turn on their engines to get there in time! There is an individual prize for each race and an overall trophy for the series winner is presented at the club’s annual prize-giving party. In order to bring more members onto the sailing scene, a special event is planned to round off the season. More news in due course.
