Due to the current world uncertainly with regard to travel, shipping boats and fuel costs the IHCA unfortunately announces that our proposed 2026 Hansa Class Asia Pacific Regional Championships will not be held this year.

We appreciate that sailors around the world are currently trying to complete their regatta and travel plans for 2026. As there is currently much uncertainty regarding costs, travel to and competing in events, we have made the decision to remove the 2026 Asia Pacific Championships from our calendar.

However, we would like to advise that our Asia Pacific Championships will return in 2028 and will be hosted by our friends in Hong Kong. We forward to welcoming you to that amazing city. More details to follow in due course.
