Davies remarked that he anticipated the event attracting 260+ of the top youth sailors from the Asia Pacific region and afar, including sailors from China, Macau, India, Italy, Dubai, Qatar, Indonesia, Cambodia, Singapore, Thailand, Chinese Taipei, Australia, New Zealand and the USA.

11 classes will compete in the 2019 edition of the event, including the sailing classes 29er, 2.4mR, 420, 470, Laser 4.7, Laser Radial, Optimist, Optimist Green, RS Feva and windsurfers classes RS:X Youth and Techno 293. Sailors will race on Hong Kong’s renowned world-class racetracks which are located in Repulse Bay, Deep Water Bay, Stanley, Tai Tam and Beaufort Island.
