What to Sail
RACING
Racing generally involves a group of boats all setting off at the same time and aiming to be the first across the finish line. There are many types of racing, from one-person dinghies around a short course of buoys close to the shore to 100-foot catamarans racing around the world. Most races in Hong Kong take a few hours on a weekend.
CRUISING
Cruising, is a recreational form of sailing that can involve sailing around Hong Kong’s beautiful coastline, day sails to beaches, overnight stays at anchor or crossing seas and Oceans. For the most part, it’s pretty relaxed although covering longer distances can involve sailing non-stop for days, or if you’re crossing an ocean, weeks.
