Capt Marty's Sailing Memoirs

As the well established Asian Regattas reach their 20th anniversary, Capt Marty has been asked to recall any recollections of racing on the early events. While walking down memory lane for the 20th Raja Muda program guide, it was decided to put together a series of short stories, while the memories still float around in the mind somewhere. So here is the first on what we originally called the Austral-Asian Tour from Darwin, North Australia to Phuket in Southern Thailand. Many boats have gone before us but in 1991 we were the first to try and make an organised route, competing on a chain of events through Indonesia before embarking on the early Raja Muda and King's Cup regatta's.

Future CM Sailing Memoirs are in the process of being prepared. Early Darwin Ambon Races, Inaugural 1973 Darwin to Dili Yacht Race, 1989 Sydney Hobart Race plus a few others are in the pipeline. If anyone out there can help with old photos to accompany the story's, they will be rewarded and very much appreciated.
