De Rhu is next to the race site but has no beer........
Best place is Duta Village about 10 minutes walk down the beach.
Rates about RM 100 per night.
Swiss Garden is next to Duta Village but rates are a fair bit higher.
DR is about 0.00187 stars
DV is about 2.776251930 star
SG is 4 ish stars.
Balok beach is a "special" place for many of us and well worth a visit.
Thats not to say that the East Coast of S'pore is not special.
I've got many good meemories of events there as well !!
Happy Days.

If I remember correctly Mr Wan Tahir said it has been canceled because of the lack of funding.
He can't afford to hold sub-par event because the crowd would complain. But if you ask me all I need is a few buoys on the sea.

so is it officially confirmed cancelled ?

a few of S'poreans sailors are planning to take part....


otherwise, i may just plan going up to Penang to train with Penang Mafia on Formula during that week.

Yes officially cancelled. Something about the tourism board screwing up with the funding. Sorry for the bad news. Have fun in Penang.
