KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Match Racing Championship (MMRC) that doubles up as the Malaysian qualifiers for the Monsoon Cup, sets sail in Pulau Duyong, Terengganu, today with an exciting field of seasoned and aspiring local sailors, eager to stamp their mark on the international stage.
Two-time MMRC winning-skipper Tiffany Koo, who went on to become the first Malaysian woman to compete in the Monsoon Cup for two consecutive years in 2006 and 2007, will be a notable absentee but that would not deprive the championship of a woman skipper or rob the glamour of the prestigious sailing event in the country.
