(interviewed in 2022)
An utterly fantastic interview with RHKYC Vice Patron Lowell Chang covering everything from how he started sailing in San Francisco, meeting Phyllis and moving to Hong Kong... reminisces about all manner of exciting events and incredible people, how he helped get the Around the Island Race to actually go around the island ... keeping the Club at Kellett Island... and of course the 'Royal' debate.
Lowell Chang joined the Club in 1972 and became a Life Member in 2013. As a keen Dragon class sailor, he was the Dragon Class Sailing Captain and Crew Co-ordinator from 2001 to 2002, the Dragon Class Results Officer from 2002 to 2016, and most importantly he was a co-founder of Prince Henrik Silver Trophy in 1988.
He has also spent tremendous amount of time and energy in serving numerous committees since 1986. The committees he has served include House, Middle Island, Strategic Planning, Sailing and the General Committee; and he was also a member of the Kellett Island Reprovisioning Working Group and the Private Recreational Lease Response Working Group.
Being Rear Commodore Club from 1989 to 1991; Vice Commodore from 1996 to 1998 and then Commodore from 1998 to 2000, his commitment to the sport, and to the Club, is unquestionable.
Lowell was appointed Vice Patron in 2021.
