It is sailed over two tides around a triangular course in Tremadoc Bay. (See chart below) The race will start about 1 hour after high water and will end well before the next high water, having completed 1 lap of the course. The race always starts into wind, so the course may be sailed either clockwise or anticlockwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/lpyc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/hongkong.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lpyc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/hongkong.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lpyc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/hongkong-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The origin of the trophy is very interesting. The three legged , two mouthed cup was a ceremonial wine &#8220;glass&#8221; and was designed way back in China&#8217;s past, probably the Shang Dynasty (c.1750 &#8211; 1150 BC) as one of a body of sacrificial wine and food vessels only used ceremonially. The award of such a vessel could be made for any success. This vessel is called a &#8220;CHEUK&#8221; (&#8220;ch&#8221; pronounced as a j) in the Cantonese dialect used in Hongkong, and it was presented to the club by a couple called, we think, David and Suzy Griffiths (We are trying to confirm this!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HongKong Cup Race is a medium length race.
