With a last day of shifty and light to medium breeze from 6 to 11 knots, the 2015 Asian RS:One Championships ends after 4 days of intenses races with a big range of wind conditions mixing planning and tactical pumping days. 2 races back to back were completed for a total of 12 races for only 4 days of racing![more]
Current World Champion, Cheng Kwok Fai from Hong Kong has comfortably won this championship with consistency and experience while the younger Zan Zhichao from China will need to calibrate his promising potential for next victories.
In the women division, Chinese sailor Li Xiaoyan took the title but with a very close battle with Ngai Wan Yan from Hong Kong as only 4 points are separating the 2 racers.
The Espoir (under 22 years old) titles were taken by China with Zan Zhichao ahead of Hong Kong sailors Lee Chun Tin and hen Ho Yin.
Hong Kong team has one more time demonstrated an incredible consistency and experience, but China will be the country to watch very soon!
We are now looking forward to the ASAF youth cup to be held in Hong Kong from 14th to 17th February as the next RS:One international event!
