The Monsoon Cup is a sailing event which is part of a world tour.Top ranked sailors form sponsored teams to race identical boats in a round robin to determine top finishers for a showdown.Apart from this, i am sure u will get more info on the official website.
As for those not in the know, Pulau Duyung has been redeveloped ( basically a new township) by the Equine gp and they are also the "organisers" for or on behalf of the state govt for this event to help improve the status of previously "low profile" Trengganu.
I assisted in providing some "wakeboard demos" during the inbetween periods of racing or when there was no wind to race.
There are not many places where u can get a "drink" and in those that u can, a godsend, are quite crappy and dingy.
I would say its quite fun and well worth the experience if u enjoy watching boats in the water only if u get those special all access passes or tickets.Otherwise, it like going to sepang and standing at the entrance mall area and cannot enter to see the track and racing.Best is to get some proper invites from BMW, and have then include some parking passes .Last yr, some Porsches and Ferraris headed up (on a club drive/sponsored basis)but i didnt get to see them..not sure where they were.
I am in Krabi thailand now and i daresay its more fun driving here all the way from KL.Clear skies, great beaches, nice people, good food and not crowded like Phuket.
