MIRI -- The Borneo International Yachting Challenge 2007 (BIYC) scheduled for September, which will have as its highlight a 100-nautical mile passage race from Labuan to here, is expected to attract 30 sailing teams.
Organising joint chairman Lee Kim Shin said Tuesday 21 teams had so far confirmed their participation in the event, which will take place from Sept 1 to 8.
Nineteen of the teams are international participants, among them eight boats from Australia, three from the United Kingdom and two each from New Zealand and Canada, he added.
"We are expecting a few more to take part, particularly from the Asian region, as we have already extended our invitation to sailing teams in the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong as well," he said.
