The Royal Langkawi Yacht Club (RLYC) in Kuah, Langkawi is inviting participants to register for the Royal Langkawi International Regatta 2011 to be held from 11-15 January 2011. The event will see five categories of racing namely the Racing class, IRC class, Sportsboats, Multihulls and Club Cruisers.
Weather forecasts predict wind speeds of more than 12 knots for the period and participants can look forward to a very challenging 4-day sailing experience. Langkawi is ideally located in the north-western coast of Malaysia and it is also known as a land of myths and legends, with much of its folklore intricately woven into its history. The warm and clear waters surrounding the legendary islands are an additional bonus for sailors and cruising yachtsmen.
The RLIR 2011 has been held annually since 2003. The fun does not end with the races, the RLIR 2011 organising team is promising daily, fun-filled prize giving parties. Entries from Australia, Hong Kong, Holland, United Kingdom, United States of America, Singapore, Thailand, China, Japan, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, France, Belgium and South Korea have been confirmed.
In 2009, the RLIR introduced the "Tunku Abdullah Sportsmanship" award for the best team, both on water and land. This award is a special tribute to the Founder Chairman and 1st Commodore of the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club, Almarhum Tunku Tan Sri Abdullah. The award will be given out again this coming year.
