Parties as usual were the mainstay of the regatta and lived up to - and beyond - expectations.

The opening ceremony and party was held at the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club.This was a great venue nestled on the shore overlooking Kuah Harbour. A generous buffet of western, Indian and Malay dishes was laid on, with the always-popular roast beef carved off the bone, never ending supply of chicken and beef satay sticks and fascinating deserts accompanied by assortments of local fruits. Music was provided by a lively local band, bringing the evening to a close at around 1400 hrs

 

The second night saw a move to Pantai Cenang Beach and the Laman Padi resort hosted by Petronas. As all was relaxed, with the day’s racing completed and plenty of time to head back to the marina, grab a shower ashore at the yacht club and hop on one of the air- conditioned coaches for a drive across the island to the evening venue.

It did not end there, as the DJ at the yacht clubs Captain’s Deck kept things rocking to the early hours, with dignitaries and sailors trying out their dancing prowess. The Captains deck was open every evening until the wee hours.
