HKCRA AFFILIATED CLUBS

Club Introduction

In the early stages of its development, only 5 rowing clubs were affiliated with the Hong Kong, China Rowing Association. These were the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, Hong Kong Police Rowing Club, Island School, Hong Kong University Faculty and Staff Union and Hong Kong Sports Association for the Physically Handicapped. Along with the development of the Association, an increasing number of people have taken up rowing, and to date, the number of affiliated clubs has increased to 30, establishing rowing as a popular sport in Hong Kong.
