MALAYSIAN MATCH RACING CIRCUIT STAGE ONE – LUMUT, PERAK
Friday 27/04/2012
Due to overwhelming response from local sailors and the growth of match racing as a sport in Malaysia, T-Best Events, the organisers behind the highly successful Monsoon Cup are partnering with the Malaysian Yachting Association (MYA), aiming to further establish the sailing and maritime industry in Malaysia thru the Malaysian Match Racing Circuit (MMRC).
In its first year, the MMRC will kick off with 3 venues – Lumut in Perak, Pulau Indah in Selangor and Pulau Duyong in Terengganu. Endorsed by the Alpari World Match Racing Tour (WMRT) Development Council, the circuit is the first of its kind in Asia.
MMRC is also a platform for aspiring match racers in Malaysia to improve their International Sailing Federation (ISAF) rankings.
The winner of the circuit will have a chance to sail alongside world match-racing champions at the Monsoon Cup and earn a guaranteed prize money of RM50,000 in addition to the RM15,000 prize money available at each stage of the circuit.
