Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club

Etchells represent one-design sailboat racing at its best. We are an exciting, friendly class with some of the most competitive racing in Hong Kong and throughout the world.

Etchells are graceful one-design racing keelboats that can be sailed competitively and comfortably by 3 or 4 sailors. Fast, sleek and stable, Etchells perform well in both light and heavy air conditions. At 30.5 feet in length with 22 feet of wetted surface and responsive to fine adjustments in rig and sail trim, Etchells are technically interesting and challenging. So it is not surprising that Etchells sailors are enthusiastic and dedicated supporters of the boat and class association.

With over 50 active fleets around the world, a strong International Class and some of the most competitive racing around, why not come sailing?
