Hailing from the scenic Shanghu Lake in Changshu, China, a gem of the Jiangnan water region, the Shanghu Sailing Team is a dedicated crew united by a shared passion for sailing.

Shanghu Lake is not only celebrated for its graceful harmony of hills and waters but has also become a vibrant hub for sports and sailing. We believe sailing is the ultimate expression of passion, teamwork, and intelligence. With the vision of “Bringing Shanghu to the World, and the World to Shanghu,” this journey is about more than racing—it’s about building connections, learning from sailors worldwide, and inspiring more international friends to explore sailing events in China.

This campaign is proudly supported by Arthur Sports, a professional sailing event organizer and promoter with strong global connections in the sailing world.

"Together, we are honored to compete in the BRICS Sailing Championship in Türkiye, aiming to strengthen China’s ties with the global sailing community and promote cross-border sporting exchanges. We look forward to sharing fair winds, spirited competition, and the pure joy of sailing with teams from around the world on the beautiful waters of Bodrum", - stated from the China team.
