| Fremantle to Bali Race & Rally 2013 |
This Fremantle to Bali 2013 Ocean Race and Rally is the second of a series of five mega events that were designed to see Bali and Indonesia continue the push to be Asia’s premier sailing destination.
There is nothing like it anywhere else in Asia. The Fremantle to Bali Race and Rally will set sail on May 4, 2013 and will consist of a 1440-nautical mile Ocean Race and Rally starting from Fremantle Sailing Club at Fremantle Western Australia and ending in Bali.
The race would typically take around 11 days but in 2011, Limit set a record of six days.
Preparations are now underway for the next year’s Fremantle to Bali 2013 Ocean Race and Rally as the Fremantle Sailing Club (FSC) has not been wasting time in starting them.
Bernie Kaaks, Media Contact for Fremantle Sailing Club, is hoping for a bigger turnout in 2013, saying, “We did most things well in 2011 but hope to do a lot better in 2013. We are bending over backwards and concentrating our efforts to lift the numbers in 2013.”
Even though it is still days early, there is already a FSC Bali Race Committee that has been established.
On the Committee are some of the FSC’s most experienced ocean sailors, who are hell bent on making next year’s event even better than the highly successful 2011 Race and Rally.
With over 1440 nautical miles, the race is going to be long one, and is going to be very competitive as there are some very high tech Western Australian yachts competing.
The event is aiming to attract a fleet of 50 or more ocean-going yachts and is Western Australia’s only international yacht race.
