The Hayama Marina International Friendship Regatta celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. Nine teams from eight countries sailed in the race and first time entrant Germany won! This summer was extremely hot, with weather and ocean conditions being unstable, but fortunately, the weather on the day of the race was beautiful! There were also other programs such as a performance by the Hayama Town Gozen Taiko and a Helly Hansen environmental activity workshop. At the award ceremony, the participating countries introduced their local foods and Japanese food culture to the participating organizations. It was a very meaningful day of international exchange activities highlighted by gorgeous weather. HMYC looks forward to continued success in the promotion of international friendship and sportsmanship on the water. Our love of and commitment to sailing is what we, as a committee, would like to continue sharing with the international embassy community.
