The delayed regatta opened Friday off the waters of Daya Bay in Dapeng Peninsula, and concluded yesterday. Sailors from 100 teams competed in five categories, specifically Beneteau First 40.7, J80, Fareast 23R, IRC and Topper (youths).
Initiated in Shenzhen in 2007, the CCIR is the first international regatta event in Chinese history and the only event of its kind named “China Cup.” It has now developed into an international sailing event ranking first in Asia and third in the world in terms of popularity and influence.
