Hong Kong, 22 July 2026
The Organising Committee of the Hong Kong Dragon World Championship is pleased to announce North Sails as an Official Sail Partner for the championship, to be held 21–29 November 2026 at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and the Clear Water Bay Golf and Country Club.
The partnership is a major step forward for an event set to make history as the first Dragon World Championship ever staged in Asia. The regatta is expected to welcome more than 90 boats and over 350 sailors from across the global International Dragon Class community.
A long-standing supporter of the International Dragon Class worldwide, North Sails will deliver a comprehensive package of on- and off-the-water services designed to help teams arrive prepared, stay race-ready and perform at their best throughout the week.
North Sails Hong Kong are offering a 15% discount on all One Design sail orders until the end of September, subject to stock, on a first-come, first-served basis, with guaranteed delivery in time for the event and direct delivery to the venue for teams who place orders early. They will also ensure pre-event and on-site sail servicing and repairs, including overnight and urgent repair support during racing days.
“We are delighted to welcome North Sails as an Official Sail Partner for this historic championship,” said Nick Bilcliffe on behalf of the Organising Committee. “Bringing the Dragon Worlds to Asia for the first time is a proud moment for the class. North Sails’ world-class technical expertise and on-site repair capability will give competitors real confidence from arrival and measurement through to the final race.”
Isamu Sakai of North Sails Hong Kong added: “North Sails is committed to helping ensure the Hong Kong Dragon World Championship is a resounding success. We look forward to working closely with sailors and the organising team, whether that means delivering new sails on time, turning around urgent repairs overnight, or supporting a fair and well-run event for the entire fleet.”
The collaboration underscores North Sails’ continued commitment to the Dragon Class and to supporting the growth of high-performance one-design sailing in Asia, as the international fleet prepares to converge on Hong Kong in November 2026.
