Rookies and veterans gather at LCR

Among the contestants at the 10th LCR are both rookies who just took to sailing and veterans with many years of experience in the sport. 

 

Wu Jianan, who took part in an LCR race for the second time as a member of Jiangsu Sailing Team, believed that LCR provides good chances to draw experience from other athletes.

Lu Ling, chairman of Shanghai “Love Sailing” Club who has participated in all of the 10 previous LCR sessions, said LCR has facilitated the growth of all the participants over the past 10 years. 

Chen Wangjun, who initiated the LCR program, said, “Sailing offers a good way to learn astronomy, meteorology, mechanics and teamwork. LCR is helping entice more and more people into the sport.”
