Race 1: Tuesday. In light to medium condition, both cruising and racing divisions were off to a reaching start with Chameleon leading the pack in racing and Kilo leading cruising. Over the 11 mile Chameleon extended her lead followed by F31 and Charro with No Fixed Address and Chakra tussling for 3rd.

Race 2: Tuesday. After a short break the second race was off, with Chameleon crossing the line first and leading the pack to the first mark in clean air. After the first mark the winds receded to a whisper leaving all other contenders bunched up on the approach living in each other wind shadows. The finishing margin between Chameleon and second placed Charro was quite large being 37 minutes over a shortened course of about 9 miles.

Race 3: Wednesday saw increasing wind condition allowing the multis to complete the course in quick times. The procession continued with Chameleon taking line honours once again in racing and Kilo securing another first in cruising.

Thursday was set aside as a lay day for a break from racing and the opportunity to see the sights on Langkawi Island. Many took the opportunity to sleep in, recuperating from the previous night’s parties and a solid two days of racing.

Race 4: Friday saw an increase in wind strengths to a constant 23 knots over the course. The multis were flying and the order of the day for most was spinnakers in the water. No Fixed address was to first to show their prowess with prawn trawling. Someone should have told Brent that the prawns slip thought the large holes. Charro had a go too, but with less dramatic results as NFA. Most of the remaining multis chose not to fly kites on what was a mostly reaching course. The only multi to successfully carry a kite was Chameleon. Her crew some of which had only joined for the first time had their act together and speeds were up with Chameleon trucking along under fractional kite at 18 knots plus. The 11-mile course was covered in fastest time (48m 42s - average speed 13.63 knots) by Chameleon this day with Charro taking first on handicap relegating Chameleon to second place and F31 finishing a respectable third

Race 5: Saturday saw easing conditions down to around 20 knots once again allowing for a quick completing of the days circuit. Chameleon crossed the start first, but this time in company with a cruising cat who tried to run the line on port at the race committee boat end. A lesson was quickly learned as a call of ‘starboard’ came from Chameleon as she ran down the line nearly pinning the much slower Lagoon at the start boat end. A quick change of course saw Chameleon speed off in the distance under kite leaving the Escape crew to contemplate their lucky “Escape” running the line on port tack.
