Race Management and Safety Team Volunteers
We require volunteers for our major club events such as Autumn Regatta, China Coast Regatta, Around the Island Race and Hong Kong Race Week. You do not have to have any experience for some of the race management duties and we would never throw you into the deep end. Please do not hesitate to contact the sailing office if you would like further information on these events or on volunteering roles. A full list of events that require volunteers can be found on our website: https://www.rhkyc.org.hk/events/Volunteers20192020.aspx?reg=show or for Hong Kong Race Week: https://www.hongkongraceweek.com/volunteer-cbhg
