“貴良龍” / 香港警察龍舟會 Hong Kong Police Dragon Boat Club / 香港水上體育運動 Hong Kong Water Sports / SML.20130518.7D.41823
The boys (and some girls) are out for dragon boat practice this afternoon. These athletes appear to be in significantly better shape then the other university teams I have been spotting, so I looked them up.
Turns out that 貴良龍 is the the part of the official dragon boat team of the Hong Kong Police Force, and its team members come from all ranks and departments, though most of them are part of the Hong Kong Marine Region.
The name 貴良龍, as with the rest of the six dragon boats which make up of the team, is named after retired police commissioners.
Also of note which is dissimilar to the other teams I have seen so far is the fact that they wear gloves to sail, as I gathered they must thrust quite vigorously.
I can’t wait til the festival starts this year, which should be fairly soon in June. I was told that I should be able to see the contest outside my window. Stay tuned.

1. 香港警察龍舟會（英文：Hong Kong Police Dragon Boat Club）於2002年成立，是香港警務處的官方龍舟隊伍，是香港龍舟協會的屬會成員。香港警察龍舟會的成員來自各個香港警察部門及職級，當中又以水警總區人員為主。香港警察龍舟會主席為警務處高級助理處長卓振賢博士，副主席為女性警司邱倩雯。
除了於端午節當日或者前後所舉辦的比賽，香港警察龍舟會亦會派遣隊伍於香港、中國大陸及海外參與。
至2012年，香港警察龍舟會總共有6艘龍舟，可以供予會員練習之用。6艘龍舟各有功能，同時各有名字；當中4艘（學林龍、貴良龍、慕絲龍及綺蘿龍，全部為退休警官名稱）屬於小型，兩艘（五周年紀念龍和富利龍）屬於中型。

2. The Hong Kong Police Force (香港警務處, HKPF; HKP), also known as the Hong Kong Police, is the largest disciplined service under the Security Bureau of Hong Kong. It is the world's second, and Asia's first, police agency to operate with a modern policing system. It was formed on 1 May 1844, with a strength of 32 officers. Queen Elizabeth II granted the Royal Charter to the Hong Kong Police Force in 1969 for their handling of the Hong Kong 1967 riots—renaming them: the Royal Hong Kong Police Force. Following the transfer of sovereignty, the Force is once again named the Hong Kong Police Force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_Police_Force
3. 香港警務處（副名香港警察；英文：Hong Kong Police Force，縮寫：HKPF，英文副名：Hong Kong Police，副名縮寫：HKP）是香港特別行政區保安局轄下編制最龐大的紀律部隊及香港特別行政區政府轄下編制最龐大的的部門，於1844年5月1日成立，為世界之次及亞洲之首個以現代警察制度運作的警察機關；於1969年，獲得英女皇賜封皇家名銜，從而成為皇家香港警務處（副名：皇家香港警察隊；英文：Royal Hong Kong Police Force，縮寫：RHKPF），為英聯邦5支獲得賜封的警察隊之一，直至1997年香港主權移交，除去皇冠封號。
香港警務處有近170年的專業經驗，規模廉潔、警察力量規模龐大、高度效率及破案率，於1960年代開始，被國際、亦被國際刑警評定為亞洲最佳警隊，為世界上最優秀及專業的警察機構之一。香港警務處是香港政府的最後可依賴力量（Agency of Last Resort），於香港境內及外全天候為香港社會服務，為香港治安及社會穩定，奠定基礎。
