will be held at Middle Island, Deepwater Bay from 10:30am on Sunday 29 November 2026.
This is a very popular family event and guests and children are most welcome to attend and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of this unique location. The rowing races will commence at 11:30am sharp with crews representing Oxford, Cambridge, combined alumni and Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club.
Some experience of rowing and/or coxing is required but crews will be of mixed ability and fitness. Individual or crew entries are welcome – please register your interest in advance so we can start assembling crews before the day. Participants are encouraged to wear their varsity colours and enter into friendly rivalry.
Experienced rowers will have the opportunity to race in Hong Kong’s own “Boat Race” or in a Goldie/Isis boat, but the mood of the day is light-hearted and there will be plenty of opportunity to have a fun row and enjoy the spirit of representing one’s alma mater.
Prizes will be awarded, subject to final entries, on the beautiful lawn of the Clubhouse, followed by lunch set with 2 glasses of drinks. End the day by watching the sun set over Deepwater Bay over a glass of wine. You won’t regret it!
