Monsoon Cup 2009

The Monsoon Cup is a yacht race held in Terengganu. The tagline for the race is: “You wouldn’t want to miss it.”
Yes, it’s that exciting!
The Monsoon Cup was first initiated by former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to promote Terengganu. The former Prime Minister thought that the monsoon season should be used as an advantage rather than being seen as a disaster. After the initiation, the first Monsoon Cup was held in 2005.
The Monsoon Cup is the tenth and final event on the World Match Racing Tour 2009. 12 of the best match racing teams will meet at Pulau Duyong, Terengganu from 2 to 6 December 2009 to race for the highest prize in the world, RM1 million. Once again the battle for the championship trophy will see the top sailing teams in the world pitting their skills against each other in the last leg of the tour.
Want to be a part of it? We will let you know how soon. Do stay tuned with us to find out how.
