AsianYachting Christmas -
New Year Special
What
a difference a year makes...
Despite the devastating effects the Tsunami had on the beginning of 2005, the South East Asian tourism and yachting industries picked themselves up and came back with vengeance after the biggest natural disaster of all time. The regatta scene has continued to flourish with the introduction of the Swedish Match Tour - Monsoon Cup and announcements of a America's Cup Challenge coming from Malaysia.
Together
with the successful running of the annual classics, like the Raja
Muda and Phuket
King's Cup has shown the world that these industrious tiger
economies are well and truly, back in business. Many thanks must go to
event organisers that hold a strong belief that the region has enormous
potential and continue developing boating facilities to service one of
the best all year round cruising grounds the world has to offer.
AsianYachting
would like to take this opportunity to wish all our 2800 plus subscribers,
advertisers and other website's that have carried our Newsletters and
Race Reports a Merry Christmas
and a Prosperous New Year.
After a busy Nov/Dec period at the ISSA and ISAF conferences in Singapore and with the 2005-06 Regatta Season in full swing, we have gained over 200 more subscribers on the Circulation List and personally like to wish them a warm welcome.
The
annual AY
Boxing Day B-B-Que
to celebrate the start of the Sydney Hobart Race will be held poolside
at the PD Perdana Condo Resort in Port Dickson and anyone passing by on
Dec 26th are invited to pop in for a yarn over a cold drink and hot steak.
