A proposal has sent in to the F16 committee for hosting a GC in Feb/Mar '09 from Singapore fleet.

Venue proposed is Kuala Terangganu in NE peninsular Malaysia. They host the richest Match Racing event each year and have the world's first sailing stadium, 5-star resort and all the facilities that one needs for this. Everything is brand new, plus they are still expanding. It is a truly first class facility.

Did a match racing event last weekend there and the place is awesome. Choice of w/l's in a bay with flatwater, the ocean is a 0.5nm trip up a channel for offshore races, and option of passage racing to a number of different tropical islands. The beach is close by and stretches for miles.

In Feb/Mar the NE monsoon is in full swing which is typically 12 to 18 knots. Swell doesn't develop too much.

There are 18 Taipans, 1 Blade, and soon to be 5 Vipers in Singapore. So healthy fleet as a base for the event. Plus production of the Viper and Taipan is outside Bangkok.

So what do you guys think? Has all the elements to be a successful event.
