Colony boat races offer thrills in unique setting
Article Abstract:
Hong Kong is a heaven for sailing enthusiasts because the geographic location of the colony allows them to sail anytime of the year. This is why Victoria Harbor and the nearby waters are always jammed with yachts, cruisers and dinghies, and even tankers, container ships and cruise vessels. Several boat races are usually held in Hong Kong each year. This sport is a highly strenuous activity but is a highly enjoyable one, particularly when one wins.
