    TERANGGANU, MALAYSIA, October 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Travellers to Malaysia can experience the excitement of the Monsoon Cup sailing event in Terengganu next month.
 
The prestigious international regatta will take place in Pulau Duyong between November 22nd and 27th 2011 and will see top sailors from around the world competing for titles.
 
Since its introduction in 2005, the cup has had a transformative effect on the local area, turning the previously quiet Pulau Duyong into a thriving hub for water sports, dining, tourism and souvenirs.

Events include sailing and kayaking activities, beach football and netball tournaments, quizzes, colouring contests for kids and karaoke competitions.
