Last weekend’s BPI Corregidor Cup started off the new BPI Private Wealth Signature Yacht Race Series with an almost audible bang! Three days of 20kts breeze, 80% tropical sunshine, and the rich blue waters of the South China Sea made it a guaranteed success. It’s been a while since Sail-World Asia was covering a regatta in the Philippines, and this excursion was welcome was welcome indeed.

It’s the putting them together as a series that is the smart idea. “Over the last few years – thanks in no small part to the covid thing – we have got out of the habit of running regattas,” said PRO Jerry Rollin, who has officiated at all the relevant events before. “Time to get back on the horse, so to speak. So thank you to BPI Private Wealth for providing the leg up.” Corregidor Island in the gate guardian to Manila Bay, and has long been home to military fortifications.

The forbidding bulk of Fort Drum (formerly El Fraile, but fortified beyond recognition starting in 1909), craggy Caballo, and ‘chicken feather’ Carabao are all now marks of the course for the Corregidor Cup races. There is heaps of history here, not least the fortifications on Corregidor itself which are phenomenal. The BPI Corregidor Cup is based out of Caylabne Bay Resort & Marina, a delightful <strong>2023</strong> BPI Cor Words by GUY NOWELL Photographs by GUY NOWELL/BPI 26
