The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club has partnered with local charity Love 21 Foundation to launch a dragon boat training programme for teenagers with Down’s syndrome and autism. The 13-member youth team competed against other paddlers on September 26, 2021, after completing a five-week training course. Through the programme, organisers aim to help teens with special needs to improve their social skills and focus.
