Localization drives down the cost, and sailing gradually changes from niche to mass.

CCTV News:This summer, continuous high temperature weather occurred in many places, and some hydrophilic sports were favored by many people. In Shenzhen, Guangdong, sailing is hot, and coaches in some training institutions are in short supply.

At a seaside in Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, dozens of sailing enthusiasts are practicing in the sea. They follow the wind and shuttle between preset buoys, most of them are children around 10 years old.

The person in charge of this training institution told the reporter that every summer vacation is the peak season for sailing training. More people came to consult or sign up this year than last year. Since the summer vacation, the number of students who signed up has increased by about 10% compared with the same period last year. Faced with the fierce market demand, their original coaches were short of manpower, so they urgently added part-time coaches.

During a visit to a number of sailing training institutions in Shenzhen, the reporter found that, with the hot sailing in summer, younger age and foreignization are becoming a new trend.

The cost of sailing is gradually decreasing, and ordinary enthusiasts become the main force of the event.

It is understood that Shenzhen is one of the cities that hold many sailing events in China, and the popularity of sailing is also in the forefront of the country. In recent years, with more and more domestic sailboats listed, the cost of sailing has been reduced, and this relatively small sport has gradually become popular.

Feng Minzhi, a sailing coach in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, has been engaged in sailing for 20 years. As a sailing coach, he leads students to study at sea every week. He told reporters that the high sailing price has always been a major factor that has plagued the popularity of this sport. With the listing of more and more domestic sailboats in the past two years, the price of sailboats has also dropped a lot.

The decline in sailing prices is undoubtedly a big plus for ordinary sailing enthusiasts, and more and more people have joined the sport.

It is understood that in the past two years, Shenzhen has held an average of more than 80 sailing events every year, accounting for a quarter of the national competitions, with more than 50,000 participants each year. Among them, ordinary sailing enthusiasts are becoming the main participants in sailing events.
