MISSION STATEMENT
The 9er Class Association of Hong Kong, China aims to introduce and develop as many Hong Kong sailors as possible to what we believe is the most exciting and fun sailing classes in the world. We aim to build a community around the 9er Classes in Hong Kong to stimulate more sailors and provide a pathway to the highest levels of achievement.
The 9er classs boats start with the targeted 29er (Olympic Youth Development Skiff) which is a one-design, double-handed, single-trapeze skiff with a self-tacking jib and asymmetric spinnaker, through to the 49er FX (Female Olympic Skiff) and 49er (Male Olympic Skiff) which are both Double Trapeze Skiffs which all adds up to give you one of the most exhilarating sailing experiences you can experience !
The annual Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club Around the Island Race is one of the biggest inshore events in Hong Kong. It is a 26nm race around Hong Kong Island involving Class Keelboats, Dinghies, Beach Cats and Cruisers.
