Hong Kong Dragon Association

Official Wine Partner.

Chalmers Wines has made a limited edition just for this championship: Col Fondo, a barrel fermented Aglianico rosé from Heathcote in Victoria.

Col Fondo means “with the bottom”. The wine finishes its second fermentation in the bottle and stays on its lees, so it pours cloudy on purpose. Dry, savoury, creamy, with a fine fizz that keeps going. The neck label carries the RHKYC and championship marks.

Poured at Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club receptions and presentations through the regatta.

“A class with extraordinary heritage and a regatta with a real sense of occasion.” Kim Chalmers

May 25, 2026: What a fantastic day on the water!

We were proud to host our second local schools regatta in Hong Kong, bringing students from seven schools together through sailing and teamwork. The smiles and determination on the racecourse said it all.

Sail Onward HK , the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC) and the Hong Kong Dragon Association, with support from HSBC, Tony Leung, and the RHKYC Charity Foundation, are making free sailing courses available to schools across Hong Kong. For many students, it was their first time on the water, a chance to learn, build confidence, and discover sailing.

A programme like this only happens through real teamwork. Our thanks go to everyone who made the day possible: HSBC, Tony Leung, the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club (RHKYC) Charity Foundation, and every school, volunteer, coach, and supporter on the water.
