比賽簡史
（有關赤柱龍舟短途賽及熱身賽）
龍舟比賽近年在全港發展迅速，赤柱區賽事亦日漸壯大，赤柱居民會及其附屬機構赤柱龍舟協會徇眾要求，除端午正日龍舟競渡
(赤柱國際龍舟賽）及展開全年訓練之外，再加辦更多定期賽事
和活動。赤柱短途賽和熱身賽就是在這樣的背景下產生的，也已成為香港龍舟界全年重要比賽日程之一。這兩個比賽一般內部稱作「細賽」，但
今天其規模已可比美任何一個本港及東南亞灣頭龍舟賽事。
2001年當第一屆短途賽舉行時，只有18隊參加，規模很小（雖然當時赤柱舉辦的端午節龍舟競渡已有百多隊參加且蜚聲國際），而且在美利樓對出海面以試辦形式舉行，氣氛頗為輕鬆，大家志在參與。之後幾年，無論在規模、認受性和競爭性方面都迅速發展，並移師赤柱正灘舉行以配合新龍舟基地的新地利。到了2007年，比賽得政務處主動要求易名為「回歸盃香港短途賽」，
幾年來一直盡量保持在回歸紀念日之前的一兩星期慶祝期內上演。到了2009年，已有接近一百隊出席（見
右表），而且兩個細賽都出現在09年春國際龍聯雜誌的全年國際賽事總表內。
在籌備第一屆短途賽時，決定以二百米短途衝刺作新嘗試，當年龍舟界是聞所未聞的短距離賽程，想不到這次大膽嘗試不但帶來不少積極回響，也帶動了一個新潮流。現在不但本港及全國賽有，連國際龍聯的國際錦標賽也裡這賽程；二百米短途賽已成為各主辦單位重要考慮的賽程之一 （等同田徑的６０米跑）。這一點赤柱龍舟協會引以為傲。
自從2006年「新船下水禮暨熱身賽」成功出爐以來，赤柱龍舟熱身賽就連同赤柱短途賽成為了赤柱端午節大賽以外赤柱居民會（連同赤柱龍舟協會）加插的「常規項目」。一個在端午之前，另一個在端午之後 (前者通常在五一勞動節或佛誔假期舉行）。從此令赤柱龍舟協會成為全港以至全國，甚至全球極少數有能力定期一年內主辦三個比賽的地區龍舟團體。
經過兩年 ( 即2007、2008
)在短途賽成功試辦「港大邀請賽」之後，2009年起
這個特殊級別正式擴充成為「大專組」，希望能再帶動潮流。喜見澳門大學跨海赴會。09年
賽會也在熱身賽中加開中學組 (12划手)小龍賽
，以回應青年組發展新趨勢 ，也有澳門隊伍報名。
2010年來臨之際，得國際龍聯及香港龍協確認，赤柱兩個細賽自動跟隨端午節赤柱國際賽一同納入
IDBF Affiliate Festival Scheme (國際龍聯
結盟節慶賽事計劃）內。其實赤柱賽會是這計劃推出時的全球第一批入選者之一，也是本港唯一入選的地區屬會。
另外，2010年新出爐的「第一屆香港龍舟聯賽」已正式邀請赤柱龍舟短途賽加入為分站之一。 |

Event
History
(about Stanley Dragon Boat Short Course Races and Warm Up Races)
Responding to increasing support and rising paddlers population, as
well as stronger demand, The Stanley Residents Assn (SDBA) and Stanley
Residents Assn (SRA) have endeavoured to organize more regular events in
the year, on top of the yearly
Tuen Ng Festival
International Championships in June, as well as the longer training
seasons. It is in such context the 2 "smaller" events were introduced,
which steadily grow and have gained reputation among dragon boaters of
different levels. The idea of an extra event was humbly kicked off in
2001 with only 18 teams joining the first Stanley Short Course Race in a
trial out atmosphere at Stanley Bay (though our mega event already
attracts more than a hundred team and had been world-famous in that
year). Then it grows steadily in size and reputation and relocated to
Stanley Main Beach to coincide with the launch of the new
Dragon Boat Training Base. Then in 2007, as requested by the
District Office of the Home Affairs Dept to be re-named as Reunification
Cup. Then in 2009 it attracts nearly 100 teams (see the chart below) and
the 2 events were also listed in the international racing calendar of
the IDBF international magazine 09 Spring issue.

SDBA is proud to be the first organizer to introduce the idea of 200
meter dragon boat dash in Hong Kong (similar to 60m running dash in
athletics). Before the inception of the Stanley Short Course race in
year 2001, 200m DB race is not heard of in the local arena. Then it
created an impact and affected many local organizers to follow suit. Now
even in national championships and IDBF championships it has become one
of the major course length options that organizers should consider.
In 2006, with the
great success of our "New-boats-launching
Ceremony cum Warm-up Competition" at
Stanley Main
Beach , SDBA and SRA decided to make it another regular
event
in her calendar ( one before one after Tuen Ng Festival, with the former
usually staged on May 1 Labour Day or Buddha's Birthday public holiday
). Since then, SDBA ( a subsidiary of SRA) becomes one of the
very few organizations in the world (not just n HK or China) capable of
staging consistently 3 regattas within a year .
After 2 years of the staging successfully the "HKU
Invitational Races" in 2007 and 2008 in the
Short Course Races, SDBA decided in 2009 to expand it to become an
official category for all Post-secondary institutions and glad to see
Macau University in the event. There was aslo a special and new category
in 2009 for Secondary Schools in the Warm-Up Races. Another Macau team
joined the event.
When the year 2010 arrives,
IDBF
and
HKDBA
confirmed that these 2 "smaller" events are automatically also included
in the "IDBF Affiliate Festival Scheme", as a
natural consequence of the inclusion of the Stanley International
Championship (our mega event ) into the scheme in 2007 (actually Stanley
is among the first batch of organisers in the world and the only "club"
in HK to be included in the scheme).
Moreover, Stanley Short Course Race
is just invited by HKDBA to be incorporated as a leg of the series of
the newly established Hong Kong Dragon Boat League. |
