Young sailors are invited to take part in next month's 24-Hour Charity Dinghy Race organised by the Hebe Haven Yacht Club in Sai Kung.
The club hopes to raise at least $500,000 for the Children's Cancer Foundation through the event, which starts on May 1.
'We anticipate something in the region of 30 dinghies competing, comprised of a mix of youth and adult teams sailing on four types of boat - Topper Topaz, Enterprise, Laser Stratos and Laser,' said event chairman Roger Eastham.
The annual event started two years ago with an emphasis on youth, charity and fun. It is the only 24-hour dinghy event in Asia and one of the four known worldwide.
Starting in front of the Pak Sha Wan clubhouse, competitors are required to sail a 1.6-kilometre course.
Pit stops will be set up at intervals for the changing of crews. Fifteen boats entered last year and 20 more are expected this year.
Bryan Tse, a Year Nine student at King George V School, is looking forward to taking part in the race again.
