Raja Muda Sailing Regatta
Every year the Raja Muda Sailing Regatta is held in Malaysia. Starting at Port Klang (near Kuala Lumpur) the event races to Pangkor, then Penang, and finishes in Langkawi.
I did this year's race on Nick Smith's Freewind, with fellow crew Mai, Mick, John, Wazza, and Tony. Some people kipped on board but 4 of us took the more comfortable route of hotels at each of the stops.
We raced in class 5 (there were 3 classes for IRC rated boats, 1 for premier, 1 for multi-hulls, and 1 for cruising boats).
Race 1: Port Klang to Pangkor - result 2
Race 2: Pangkor to Penang - result 6
Race 3: inshore Penang - result 2
Race 4: Penang to Langkawi - result 5
Race 5: inshore Langkawi - result 1
Race 6: inshore Langkawi - result 3
OVERALL - we finished 3rd in our class
