I like the air of confidence about the wind........
We all know about the pre-race "training". More like "apres-ski" !!!

u can register personally at the race control in Penang.



as for interested sailors with families and friends, u can stay at the nearby 'official' hotel, Copthorne Hotel, about RM200< per nite.

[38 mph]

This clashes with PWA in Mui Ne.....
Where to go ??!!

[Ian]

I am sure the PWA will move their event so as not to clash

[38 mph]

Good news !!
I spoke to Jimmy Diaz and he agreed to move it to Port Klang the next weekend.

Whichever event draws the most sailors from Singapore, will automatically have the least wind...that's a given

spent my wkend in Penang last week.
was blowing as usual from usual direction.

so good that Penang mafia hit unsuspecting fishing line at full speed.

slamed and broke a mastfoot.

in the end, drowned 3 bottles of red wine.
