The second edition of the Beneteau Cup Hong Kong, supported by AON, has been hailed a huge success with 17 yachts in attendance. Building on the popular inaugural edition in 2021, this year’s event was expanded to include a packed social calendar to complement the enjoyable race on the water.

Held from 29-30 October, the two-day event was organised by Simpson Marine in conjunction with Beneteau Asia-Pacific, with the support of Aberdeen Boat Club (ABC). The Beneteau Cup Hong Kong has quickly become a highlight of the year for Beneteau yacht owners in the city.

The event’s busy programme included an island race, a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed gala dinner to celebrate Halloween and a prize giving ceremony on the first day. The second day started with a pursuit race, followed by an epic prizegiving and farewell sunset party at The Bay Restaurant in Mo Tat Wan on Lamma Island.

As Asia’s biggest Beneteau event, and the most lifestyle-inspired regatta in Hong Kong, the Beneteau Cup Hong Kong is an annual event that aims to build a sense of community among Beneteau owners in Hong Kong and beyond. The intention is to grow the event into an international regatta with owners from China, Taiwan and South-East Asia attending as well.

“It was a delight to take part in the Beneteau Cup last weekend. It not only brought together a number of our Beneteau owners from around Hong Kong but was also a great chance for many of the Simpson team to get out on the water and join the fun. Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you to Beneteau, AON and all our other sponsors for making the event a tremendous success. The Beneteau Cup is firmly on the yachting calendar and I even heard a number of comments from other sailors already asking about buying a Beneteau so they can join next year’s event, and take part in the best sailing event in Hong Kong. I hope to see you all at the 2023 Beneteau Cup,” says Richard Allen, Group General Manager at Simpson Marine.
