 Two LONGTZE Premier and two teams will be on the start line for the 2008 Royal Langkawi International Regatta which will take place in Malaysia from the 7th of January 2008 until the 11th. In an archipelago made up of some one hundred uninhabited and wild islands, the regatta opens the Asiatic season with a competition which assembles some 40 sailboats of every category.
It is the get together for the new business year and the sailing season opener in Asia. The 2008 Royal Langkawi International Regatta which takes place in Malaysia is a prized regatta which assembles crews coming from the four corners of Asia. The LONGTZE Premier team arrived in China Friday 3rd of January in Langkawi to prepare prototypes # 2 and # 3 which will be on the start line the morning of January 7th. The team launched their boats and went training Sunday January 6th in pleasant wind conditions ranging from 8 to 15 knots. “The day went very well and we are anxious to start Monday’s competition”, declared Pierre Mas at the end of the day.
There will be young Singaporean and Malaysian sailors on board both of the boats.
“It is important to have locals implicated with the boats. One with the Malaysian colors and the other with Singaporean; we are very proud and lucky”, explains Pierre Mas.
The team will sail on their prototypes 2 and 3 of the LONGTZE Premier series in the Sport Boat category. Prototype 2 (red) will sail with the name "LONGTZE Premier Langkawi", with Thierry Barot and four Malaysian sailors. Prototype 3 (white) will sail under the name of “LONGTZE Premier”, with Pierre Mas, three Singaporean sailors and one Malaysian sailor.
