Raja Muda Regatta 2006

We're back from the exciting Raja Muda Regatta and what a fun drunken time was had by all. We ended up in second due to some very bad calculations by myself on the first day regarding engine usage (which shouldn't be allowed but you use the rules to their best advantage). Once we'd worked out the rules on the engines we managed to get a set of 3 first places and a second but this was not good enough to take the title. 2nd place racing at night for the first time wasn't so bad just a little disappointing knowing that we could have won.

Thanks to a wonderful crew who performed in style with a smile. Alasdair, Guz, Louis, Chris and Judy you were all great - thanks.

The racing was fun, the storms were spectacular the beer was cold and Sofa performed flawlessly. Sofa will now stay in Langkawi under the careful wings of Paul and Sheila Brennan tok after her until we go back for some cruising over christmas and new year. We're really looking forward to doing some true cruising in the beautiful locations around Langkawi.
