The Royal Langkawi Yacht Club (RLYC) are expected to finalise details involved in organising a Jakarta-Langkawi International Regatta in the near future.

Langkawi Yacht Club Berhad executive director Wicky Sundram said since the regatta would involve a long distance and probably require a number of stops in international waters, technical details need to be discussed.

'We may have to stopover at Port Klang and Singapore during the course of the race to Jakarta,' he told reporters after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Royal Langkawi Yacht Club and Batavia Marina Club from Jakarta, here today.

Sundram added that RLYC would hold discussions with their Singapore counterparts to ensure the success of the regatta that is certain to attract world class sailing teams.
