It was held in Labuan & Miri and the Miri races was held last weekend. I was able to get very close to the action as I am one of the race officer at one of the checkpoint.

Here are some of the photo i would like to share. Comments welcome.

Really vibrant colors and SHARP!

Loved it. But perhaps if you could just post your fave shots.
Cos when you post a few similar shots, no more impact.

Yeh. But he was very lonely there so I started talking to him.

tkp77 · 26th April 2005

well done.

But I didn't know there is so many crew on board one sail.
I thought is like 3 or 4 person only....

What an eye opening....
