A Brief History

1990s

In the 90s, the association focused on training and development of sailing under the leadership of Mr. Koon-sang Wong and subsequently Mr. Wilson Yuen. In 1995, the Tai Mei Tuk center was rebuilt and facilities were enhanced so as to provide a better training environment of students. The center was re-opened on 9 April 1995 and in the same year, the association has been granted by the Sir David Trench Recreation Fund to purchase a fleet of seven ‘Topper’ sailing dinghies which enabled students to be trained in the techniques of single-handler dinghies.
