33 TEAMS FOR LANGKAWI INTERNATIONAL REGATTA
LANGKAWI (Malaysia), Jan 6 (Bernama) -- Thirty-three yachts will take part
in the Royal Langkawi International Regatta 2009 from Tuesday to Jan 10 at the
Royal Langkawi Yacht Club in this northern island resort.
The number of participants was smaller but organising chairman Ahmad Zailani
Bashah said it was to be expected due to the global economic slowdown.
"The number may be smaller this time around but it is sufficient," he told
reporters here.
The regatta would see participants competing in 11 categories from four main
classes, namely racing class, racing class (IRC) 1, multihull racing class and
club class.
Among the participants are three-time champions Quantum Racing from
Australia and favourite Yo!2 team.
Zurah, a team from the Malaysian navy, will lead Malaysia's challenge of 10
teams, including Mata Hari and a junior team from the Malaysian Yachting
Association.
