It is the first time since the 2014 Incheon Asian Games that South Korea has won a boys' event in sailing.

Goh Ian of Singapore won silver, while Cheng de Villemor Salgado Tiago of Hong Kong won bronze.

In dinghy, sailors receive points equal to their finishing positions and penalties in each race of the opening series, with the lowest total winning the event. Athletes are allowed to discard scores from their worst two races after 12 races.

Choi was in fourth place after 10 races held the previous day but made a dramatic comeback by moving into first place over the final two races on Saturday.

He finished first in the 11th race and crossed the finish line second in the final race, finishing with 25 points overall, tied with Singapore's Goh.

Choi won the tiebreaker because he had higher finishes than Goh.

At the Asian Games, boys' and girls' dinghy events are contested in sailing to foster emerging talent in the sport.

South Korea won the gold medal in the men's dinghy event the previous day.

这是自2014年仁川亚运会以来，韩国首次在帆船男子项目中夺冠。

新加坡选手吴彦获得银牌，香港选手郑德维勒莫尔·萨尔加多·蒂亚戈获得铜牌。

在帆船比赛中，水手们在首轮系列赛的每场比赛中，根据最终排名和罚分获得相应的积分，总分最低者赢得比赛。12轮比赛结束后，运动员可以舍弃成绩最差的两场比赛的分数。

崔在前一天举行的 10 场比赛后排名第四，但在周六的最后两场比赛中上演了戏剧性的逆转，最终排名第一。

他在第 11 场比赛中获得第一名，在最后一场比赛中获得第二名，总积分达到 25 分，与新加坡选手吴志强并列。

崔胜出是因为他的排名高于吴。

在亚运会帆船比赛中，设有男子和女子帆船项目，旨在培养这项运动的新兴人才。
