29er UK Nationals 2026 — Hayling Island Sailing Club | 15–21 August 2026
Hong Kong Youth Sailing team wrapped up a rather intense week at the 2026 UK 29er National & Open Championships, taking on one of the most experienced fleets in Europe. With classic Hayling conditions — everything from light, glassy mornings to full‑send sea breeze days — the regatta demanded patience, precision and boat‑handling across all races.
🏅Double Podium for Hong Kong🏅
Ethan Kiu / Louis Polson (HKG 3519)
🥈Silver Medalists & 🏆 Junior Champions - 2nd / 73 boats
Chloe Kong / McCarley Wong (HKG 3498)
🥉 Female Bronze Medalists - 12th/ 73 boats
To the wonderful hosts 29er UK Class Association
We sincerely apologize that Team HKG did not arrive at prize giving in black tie. After two months on the road, living out of duffel bags stuffed with sailing shoes, wet gear and emergency duct tape, our sailors simply couldn’t find space for tux, gowns or even a vaguely ironable shirt.
We promise next time we’ll try to pack something more formal — or at least a clean team kit.
With a strong international result for the Hong Kong Youth Sailing Team, we now turn the page to the next big chapter, let's carry this momentum to the start line at the Asian Games.
