Yangjiang, South China's Guangdong Province hosted the national youth sailing league last week, with Xiamen's Li Cheng'en overtaking teammate Chen Nan for the lead.

The event, which included Laser 4.7, Topper 4.2, Topper 5.3 and OP, also served as a preliminary round for the second National Youth Games, which begins in August in North China's Shanxi Province.

The youth league has attracted 434 people in five races this year, organizers said, as the Chinese Yachting Association is promoting the sport through competitions for the younger generation in the country.
