A boatload of Hong Kong yachtsmen have gone overboard to help a charity drive - by stripping down to bare essentials in a cheeky calendar.
Twenty-five members of the Hebe Haven Yacht Club took it all off for the Nauti-Buoys calendar, launched last weekend at the club's annual 24-Hour Charity Dinghy Race.
They stopped short of revealing all by using well-placed nautical props.
The calendar, which was dreamed up by four female members of the Sai Kung club who took inspiration from the 2003 movie Calendar Girls, has already raised more than HK$45,000 for a variety of children's, health and education charities.
Calendar Girls told the real-life story of members of a Women's Institute in a sleepy English village who posed naked to raise money for a cancer hospital.
Teacher Stephanie Hestler, one of those behind the calendar, said the women wanted to do something special for the 10th anniversary of the 24-Hour Charity Dinghy Race.
