The three-day racing brought together talented young sailors for competitive racing, as part of the brand's broader commitment to healthy living through flavour and to empowering young people across the city. Throughout the event, Lee Kum Kee engaged with participants, families and spectators on-site through product sampling, building connections within the sailing community.
Organised by the Sailing Federation of Hong Kong, China, and co-organised by the Hong Kong Optimist Dinghy Association, the HKODA Open and National Championships is one of the largest Optimist Class events in Hong Kong and a key platform for young sailors. This year's event drew 118 number of sailors from 8 countries and regions.
Cheung Mei Han, President of the Sailing Federation of Hong Kong, China, said, "Events like the HKODA Championships are where our future champions get their start. We are grateful for Lee Kum Kee's support of youth sailing and the development of the next generation of Hong Kong sailors."
Dodie Hung, Executive Vice President – Corporate Affairs of Lee Kum Kee Sauce said, "Sailing embodies the resilience and teamwork we deeply value at Lee Kum Kee. We are delighted to support youth sailors and share the excellence of Asian flavours with the sailing community."
Lee Kum Kee's support for Hong Kong's sailing and water sports activities extends across all levels of the sport. As a sponsor of the Hong Kong Sailing Team, the Company backed the side through recent success at both the 20th Asian Games in Japan and the 15th National Games in China in 2025. It also supports the "Generations Sailing Team" of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and is a Gold Sponsor of the Hong Kong Windsurfing Circuit.
