Training and preparation, 2019 World Rowing Coastal Championships, Hong Kong, China

Racing will take place on Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour with Hong Kong City creating an extraordinary urban backdrop. Temperatures average around 22 degrees Celsius at this time of year and winds are expected at around 20 km/hr making for lively water on the harbour.

The race course has buoy turning points with the course length covering 4km for the heats and B-finals and 6km for the finals. Unlike the Beach Sprint Finals the start and finish of the race is on the water. Competitors can expect to deal with the harbour waves, currents as well as wash from harbour boat traffic.
