Assalamualaikum :)
Ohyeahh. Baru berkesempatan untuk meng-update blog ! *gaya macam aku ni manusia paling busy kat muka bumi ni je*
Okayy. About the title : The 10th KFC - Langkawi International Regatta Perdana 2013 :)
What is regatta? Regatta means meeting for boat races.
Maybe ramai lagi yg tatau what is regatta ni. Even me myself, before joining this event, don't have any idea what is regatta.
Last week on Tuesday (January 22, 2013), aku and Kak Sara pegi Pejabat Belia dan Sukan Daerah Langkawi (PBdSL) memandangkan aku super boring duduk dekat rumah sepanjang cuti semester ni. So, aku pegi laa situ. Konon-konon nya nak tanya pasal apape aktiviti yg boleh aku join. Biasanya camping lahh. But then, Abg Dan (pegawai dekat PBdSL) cakap tader aktiviti yg terdekat yg boleh aku join. Kuciwa aku jap. Huhu. Tetiba Abg Dan call sorang tuh, orang yg keje kat PBdSL tu jugak laa. Die tanya budak tuh, techinian untuk regatta dah cukup belum. Then, that girl cakap belum. Pastu Abg Dan suruh aku and Kak Sara tulis nama, alamat, no IC, and phone number dekat paper. So, kitorang pon tulis laa. Then die pesan suruh datang untuk briefing esoknya. Woahaa. Tak sabar !
Wednesday (January 23, 2013)
Kitorang pegi Royal Langkawi Yacht Club untuk dengar briefing pasal Regatta tuh. For your information, PBdSL ni satu bangunan dengan Royal Langkawi Yatch Club tuh. Kira jiran laa.
Time briefing tu En Burn (ketua program) explain pasal tugas kitorang. Mende tu start 24 January until 27 January. First sekali, apa yg kitorang kena tau is jenis-jenis perahu layar. Selama ni aku tatau pon perahu layar ni banyak jenis. Yg aku tau, yg ada layar tu, yg tu laa perahu layar. Uhuhh. *Kejam gila aku ni.*
Then, En Burn gave the explaination about the types of sailboats etc. Baru laa aku tau sikit-sikit pasal yacht ni. Ada Optimist, Laser, Byte, and Windsurfing, and Dinghy. And kitorang kena kenal jenis-jenis sailboats ni untuk the tournament.
Thursday (January 24, 2013)
The very first day of the tournament. Kitorang pegi situ pukul 8.30. Time tu tak start lagi. Start pukul 9. So, kitorang lepak-lepak situ dulu.
Then, En Burn bagi group untuk kitorang. Aku kena jaga finishing untuk Course A. Kak Sara pulak kena jaga finishing untuk Course B. So, kitorang terpisah laa. Let me story what is Course A and what is Course B.
Course A :
Sailboats involved in Course A are Optimist, Laser 4.7, and Byte CII.
Yg ni Optimist Sailboat. If perasan, kat atas tu ada coloured ribbon. Yg tu group dorang and dorang akan race between the colour. Sailboat ni yg paling banyak. Almost 100 sailors.
Yg ni Laser 4.7 Sailboat. Yg ni tak banyak sangat. Ada lebih kurang 20 je.
Yg ni pulak Byte CII Sailboat. Ade 4 je yg bertanding.
Course B :
The sailboats that involved in Course B are Laser Standard, Laser Radial, Dinghy, and Windsurfing.
Yg dalam Course B ni aku tak berapa sure sangat nak explain sebab bukan aku yg jaga. Hee
Yg membezakan Laser sailboats ni ialah saiz layar.
Laser Standard.
Laser Radial.
Dinghy (two sailors)
Windsurfing.
Aku paling suka yg windsurfing ni ! Laju gila dorang meluncur ! But penat sikit laa yg ni coz kena berdiri guna tangan untuk control the sail.
Okayy. Done about the introduction. Back to the regatta. Hari ni sailboats dalam Course A dah habiskan 3 races for each (Optimist, Laser 4.7 and Byte CII). So, 9 races to go in 3 days :)
