The maiden race of the 2020 Youth Sailing League came to an end on Friday in Shenzhen, after the coronavirus postponed the annual race for nearly half a year. 

The race marked the beginning of the sixth season of the league as the Chinese Yachting Association aims to boost the sport's popularity among younger generations. 

The next race in the league is scheduled to commence in Xiamen, East China's Fujian Province on August 15.
