ah yes...the marathon is always the highlight of the regatta. the course is so big that even local sailors got lost and went for wrong marks.... don't forget the Penang hawker food and night life |

Don't trust the local or leader to know which mark to fatch...............and Mark Boats may just turn out to be some fisherman on their weekend outing.

LOL, that is a good one, local fishermen on weekend outing.
don't forget the small islands and rocks too.
btw - when will the SG team leave SG and mode of transport for boards/sail and sailors.
still love the place and food.
haha

Meng called to update.  Leong Soon, Levi and himself sailed from 4-7pm in 15 knots wind. Leong Soon predict wind to pick up in the coming days and last over the weekend. Sailors, it's still not too late to send equipment by train tomorrow, will arrive butterworth on Friday morning just in time for afternoon race.  |

Can someone advice what is the recommended sail size + board size for the raceboard category. Raceboard & Formula is separated by different category right?
Thanks
