Looking towards 2011

The Royal Langkawi International Regatta is expected to be held on the 11th January to 15th January in 2011. The organiser have choosen these dates to move the regatta further from the Christmas and New Years period to help attract more competitors from Phuket. The programme is for a practice day and four days of racing. They have already acheived a increase in the racing monohull fleet with the likes of Ray Roberts on Evolution Sails and Neil Pryde on his recently upgraded High Fi and Frank Pong's Jelik and Boraki, plus the Malaysian Navy on their TP 52 .

If 2010s regatta is anything to go buy the winds and course will be impressive as well as the competition.

2010 regatta saw three entrants from Phuket with two class wins. " Nina" our new " Andaman Cabriolet joined Chameleon ( 2005 winner) to take out the Multihull Challenge Throphy. Nils Deknatal took out first in IRC1 in Phoenix with Katsu holding down third in premier division

The impressive natural surroundings of Langkawi combined with the friendly people of the island make this destination an ideal venue for a regatta that enhances the Asian Yachting circuit's calendar.
