This year the January 2012 Sailing Regatta in Acapulco kicks off on the weekend of January 14th and 15th. Dozens of yachts will set off from Acapulco Yacht Club and adorn the Acapulco Bay of Santa Lucia with their attractive colors as they cut through the warm waters of this huge bay on Mexico’s Pacific coast. The Sailing Regatta in Acapulco is an ongoing series of races throughout the year and there are always crews from several countries competing in this exciting amateur event, where dedicated and skilled sailors participate for the love of the sport. Crews must zigzag against the wind trying to find the gaps that will allow them to reach the finish buoy. This requires a significant amount of team work, technical knowledge, and quick maneuvering skills. January is a fabulous time to be in Acapulco – the weather in Acapulco is excellent; it is warm but not uncomfortably so, after all it is ‘winter’ in Acapulco too. Also, January is smack bang in the middle of the dry season, so clear sunny skies are guaranteed.
