HKODA is run entirely by volunteers and we need all of your help to be able to organise and run a successful regatta. Help is needed before and during the event. If you can help on or off the water, please sign up via our online volunteer’s form https://forms.gle/qVyn18rxJSSs5RCf6 and help us make the HKODA National and Open Championships 2023 an event to remember. No previous experience is required to volunteer, it is a great way to get involved and to learn more about what is involved in optimist racing.
