Yacht Racing Heats Up Subic Bay for Summer: The Commodore's Cup Regatta 2013

March 25, 2013 - PRLog -- The recently concluded Subic Bay to Boracay Race and the Boracay Cup Regatta last February 16-22, 2013 has been an astounding success. One of the most anticipated regattas will have sailors battle it out again for the next biggest Asian Yachting Event in the country - the Commodore’s Cup Regatta to be held in Subic Bay on April 2-6, 2013

Chairman Garcia said, "With this new development, we add more muscle to our bid for Subic Bay Freeport to be a major player in the maritime industry, as well as a world-class tourism destination. It will be a sure-fire boost to our efforts to attract more visitors to Subic and the communities nearby.”

A quality number of Grand Prix Race Yachts in the Racing Class & Cruiser Racing Class that are regular participants of the Asian Yachting Circuit, (aside from the avid Cruising Class racers) both local and in nearby southeast ASEAN countries partake in this acclaimed annual competition for its exciting and adventurous races it offers. Through the regatta’s Official Carrier, Cebu Pacific, sailors from the Asia-Pacific region can conveniently take part of these sailing events here in the Philippines since Cebu Pacific flies from Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok and Macau direct to Clark.

With each successive race throughout the last several years, the Commodore’s Cup has become bigger, better and one of the most coveted in Asia. The loud whistle of the horn will spark off Subic Bay with four days of windward/leeward and passage races conducted by the Saturday Afternoon Gentlemen Sailors (SAGS) together with its prime movers, The Lighthouse Marina Resort and Watercraft Ventures Corp. under the auspices of the Philippine Sailing Association with the help of Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority.

It is designed to immediately follow the popular biannual events that draw the international yachting fraternity of grand prix keelboats and sailors from Hong Kong specifically the San Fernando Race this year.

Known for being a superb natural harbour, Subic Bay normally serves up brilliant sunshine, flat blue waters and wind conditions that demand close attention by tacticians and skippers. Whether local or foreign-based, these top-notch sailors will compete for the prestigious Asian Yachtsman of the Year and Yacht of the Year titles by entering these magnificent sailing events.
