Nautique Sponsors Wake Surf Competition in Sai Kung

To promote wake sports in Hong Kong, Asia Yachting just represented Nautique to sponsor in the 1^st Sai Kung Winter Cup with the best-in-class performance Super Air Nautique G23. The competition successfully took place in Sai Kung on 26^th Mar with over 40 athletes’ participation.

Organized by the Competitive Wake Surf Association (CWSA) and supported by eight Hong Kong wake surf schools. The 1^st Sai Kung Winter Cup aims to encourage more local wake-surfers to challenge themselves and perform well in a competition environment. Under the CWSA rules, hopefully the athletes can learn more about the international wake-surfing standards. The Super Air Nautique G23 that was used at the competition is known as the best wakeboard and wakesurf boat on the market. With a surf wave that can be shaped and scaled based on the preferences of the surfer, the G23 provides the perfect endless wave for whatever you desire. That’s why that was the best option for wake surf competition like this.

“Wake sports have been gaining their popularity in the recent year, and some of the professional Hong Kong athletes, like Dawnee Kanjanapas who’s one of the competition judges this time, were able to get into some of the world professional competitions. That’s why we feel the need to help promote the sports in Hong Kong and encourage more wake sports athletes to challenge themselves. Nautique’s wakeboats are one of the best performed wakeboats in the world, and also the wakeboats that a lot of world standard competitions using. Therefore, to be able to represent the brand to sponsor in the 1^st annual Sai Kung Winter Cup means a lot to us,” said Olivier Besson, Asia Yachting Founder & CEO.

The following are some of the highlights from the 1^st Sai Kung Winter Cup:

First time opening for invited guests in Hong Kong, Fountaine Pajot MY6 Open Day hosted by Asia Yachting just took place in Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club in Causeway Bay from 3^rd to 5^th July.

After a long pause of events due to pandemic, not even the first T8 of the year could stand in the way of enthusiastic guests who were eager to have a look at the first showcase of this French made power catamaran.

Formerly known as MY44, Fountaine Pajot MY6 is one of the most popular models in the region thanks to its spacious and elegant design. Crafted by Pierangelo Andreani, the interior had an upgrade with new Millesime. The lounge saloon, comprehensive galley and the driving station were all generous and luminescent in design. One floor down, the impressively sized owner’s suite on the port side, two VIP bedrooms on the starboard side and an optional cabin at the front are more than abundant for a big family trip. The event guests were especially excited about the volume of the cockpit and the 360 view of the flybridge, as they provide capacious spaces for social events.

“We are happy that the typhoon did not ruin the mood of powercat lovers. It’s been quite a while since our last boat show because of the pandemic, so it’s great to see the smiles of our guests again,” said Olivier Besson, CEO and founder of Asia Yachting.

With the surging demands in powercats in the region, the next Fountaine Pajot MY6 will be arriving in summer 2023, so better plan ahead if you wish to get your hands on one. In the meantime, the brand’s flagship motor catamaran, Power 67, will come to Asia for the first time next summer as well. So multihull lovers in Asia can keep your eyes peeled in the coming year.
