Hong Kong's Sail Development landscape:

The Hong Kong Sailing Clubs, LCSD, and The Sailing Federation Hong Kong, China are at the base of the hierarchy, and they are the main driver for training and developing sailors.

The Sailing Federation, Hong Kong China is the governing body of sailing in Hong Kong, and it oversees the development of the sport in Hong Kong, and advances the interests of the boating community. It advises on the selection criteria for the National Team. It works closely with the Class Associations (including HKLCA) on competitions, the Sports Federation and Hong Kong Olympic Committee on Team Selection Criteria, and the Hong Kong Sports Institute on training the National team and developing the sport.

The Hong Kong Olympic Committee is responsible for selecting and sending athletes to the Olympic Games, including sailors. The committee selects athletes based on their performance in competitions and their potential to represent Hong Kong at the highest level.

The Hong Kong Sports Institute is a government-funded organization that provides training and support to high-performance athletes, including sailors. The institute works closely with the Olympic Committee to ensure that athletes have the resources and support they need to compete at the highest level.
