An international sailing regatta will be held in the central coastal city of Nha Trang from October 15-21, said deputy director of the Ho Chi Minh City-based tourism company (Saigontourist) Vu Duy Vu. 
 

It is the third time the city hosts the competition which is held every two years by Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club, Vina Capital and Saigontourist.

The event is expected to bring together 130 local and foreign competitors with 10 sailing boats from many countries around the world.

Racing boats are scheduled to leave Hong Kong on Oct. 15 and sprint to the finish at Nha Trang on Oct. 18. They then will compete at Nha Trang Sea on the next day.
