Participants noted that this event is one of the most significant in the world of sailing in Southeast Asia. This year, over 35 teams from various countries, such as Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, China, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom, participated in the races. This is the second time that a crew under the flag of Kyrgyzstan has taken part in this regatta.
The team presented the yacht Dynamite in the IRC-2 division, and the races took place in the waters of the Langkawi archipelago, where the conditions for sailing were quite challenging and the competition was serious.
As a result of ten races, including one long Coastal Race around the island, the "Dynamite" team took first place in their division. The team included three citizens of Kyrgyzstan: captain Maxim Lisun, helmsman Kirill Sakharcev, and Olga Shevtsova from the "Forest Club" of Kyrgyzstan. "This event once again emphasizes that Kyrgyzstan is capable of successfully participating in international regattas and achieving victories," added the team members.
