    Terengganu is one of the three East Coast states on the Malaysian peninsula. It has a land area of 12,995 square kilometers and 225 kilometers of coastline. Kuala Terengganu, the state capital, sits on the bank of the Terengganu River. Kuala Terengganu has a population around 1 million, while Malaysia has a population near 24 million. Now in its fourth year the Monsoon Cup has gained prominent status on the World Tour. It offers on of the highest prize purse's on the Tour, MR1 million (approximately $295,000), an increase of more than two and a half times the 2005 purse, with the winner set to earn MR250,000 (approx. $68,000). The Monsoon Cup was created to bring world class professional sailing to Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The inaugural event created an unprecedented economic return for Malaysia and the region of Terengganu. That success prompted the signing of Richard Mille Watches as title sponsor, which has helped increase the prize purse. The Monsoon Cup was also created to help promote Kuala Terengganu and a new property development on Pulau Duyong Island. Ground breaking for the development took place on July 4, 2005, and was attended by an estimated 10,000 visitors. By November 2006 the marina had been completed. The Monsoon Cup figures to be part of the Tour for years to come. There is an eight-year commitment from event organizers, with funding secured. Racing will take place in Foundation 36s, designed by New Zealander Brett Bakewell-White.

    Artemis Louis Vuitton Trophy Nice

    In february 2009, ten teams competed in a 15-day event on Auckland's Waitemata Harbor in match races duels that were won by Emirates Team New Zealand. Based on the huge popularity of that event, which was praised for its format and originality, Louis Vuitton has now created the Louis Vuitton Trophy. Louis Vuitton has long been associated with first-rate, professional yachting. The French luggage and handbag maker made its debut in racing for the America's Cup when it supported the 1983 Challenger Selection Series off Newport, R.I. Australia II, led by syndicate head Alan Bond and skipper John Bertrand, became the first yacht engraved on the trophy and then went on to score an historic triumph over Dennis Conner's Liberty, the first challenger ever to defeat the defending New York Yacht Club. Four years later it was Conner who won the Louis Vuitton Cup off Fremantle, Western Australia, this time for the San Diego Yacht Club, before going on to defeat the Australian defender and return the America's Cup to the U.S. The success of the two challengers in the first two Louis Vuitton Cups prompted the phrase, "To win the America's Cup, first win the Louis Vuitton Cup." The Louis Vuitton Cup has been held seven times, and four times the challenger has gone on to win the America's Cup. But following the 2007 Louis Vuitton Cup, won by Emirates Team New Zealand, a period of quietness ensued with no future event scheduled. That led Louis Vuitton to create the Louis Vuitton Pacific Series last February.
