Setting Sail
The 2013 Eurocopter Ambassadors’
Cup was claimed by the Cambodian
team boat in a competitive but good-
natured day’s racing in November.
This is the first time an Asian and
indeed an ASEAN country has won the
Ambassadors’ Cup since its inception
in 2000. The event saw 43 boats with
envoys from 32 countries challenge in
the 14th edition of the event organised
by Changi Sailing Club.
