First up was the Langkawi regatta. A tough four days of close racing against Evolution Racing saw us come in second. Despite not winning, the final day was a highlight, racing in the narrow confines of Kuah harbour against another 52 footer in twenty knots of wind. This regatta remains an elusive one for the Neil Pryde team, in the four or five times we've competed we've never won it. Just means we'll have to keep coming back!!
Next up was the Singapore Straits regatta, this year hosted out of Nongsa Point Marina in Batam, Indonesia. A bigger fleet of boats and more wind made for an exciting four days of racing. Once again we had some close races with Evolution Racing in the choppy waters between Singapore and Indonesia. Evolution was sailing well this time and narrowly beat us again. Our consolation prize was winning the Lipton Cup, a historic trophy which adds up the boats' scores from the Raja Muda, King's Cup and Singapore Straits regatta.
