All Souls ‘ Regatta <strong>2019</strong> O ne of the year’s most popular regattas, the Royal Cargo All Souls Regatta, was held at the Puerto Galera Yacht Club at the beginning of November. The All Souls Regatta is also one of the largest yachting event in the Philippines. It was held from November 1st to November 3rd to coincide with All Souls Day which, because of the non-working holiday, usually results in a three-day weekend. The regatta also marks the unofficial launch of the tourist season in Puerto Galera. A further benefit of holding the regatta at this time of the year is the Halloween party hosted by the yacht club on the Saturday evening when grown men and women relive their childhood in an atmosphere of fun, frivolity and good natured banter after an exciting day of racing. Yachts competing in the All Souls Regatta are divided into classes depending on the number of boats of a specific type entered in the event. For keelboats this means that there are classes for IRC, Racing Cruising and Multi-Hulls, while the multihulls compete in either the Cruising Multihull or One Design/Beach Catamaran class. International racing teams compete alongside novice crews and visiting cruising yachts. Everyone is encouraged to enter into the spirit of sailing and to share their yachts with as many visitors who front up for the Skipper’s Briefing. The Royal Cargo All Souls Regatta is organized under the Racing Rules of Sailing using the Puerto Galera Yardstick (PGY) handicap system, which rates actual performance above the sometimes arcane theoretical dimensional criteria which is more commonly used in yachting. This regatta is based on the ‘pursuit race format’, which means that each yacht has a different starting time based upon its PGY (Story continues on page 12)
