Sandeq Race
XII (2009)
Race Schedule 2009:
We did not yet receive this year's race schedule. If you have any
information, please inform us.
Every year eagerly awaited by Indonesia’s traditional fishermen as
well as the international sail sports community, the annual race for
traditional sandeq outrigger sailing boats starts around 17 August in Mamuju
and ends in Makassar. For the participants this world-class 300
nautical miles sailing race is the most important event of the year:
Winning The Race is the dream of many sandeq sailors.
A century old-tradition, these unbelievably fast blue-water
outrigger vessels have been competing in local races in the Mandar
area of South Sulawesi, about 300km to the north of Makassar, the
peninsula’s capital; only after the first Majene-Makassar race was
held in 1995 did these spectacular sailing events came to the notice
of the broader public. Today the Sandeq Race is one of the
Archipelago's main nautical events: A full 10 days of racing and
cultural events attracts tens of thousands of people all along the
coastal course of the race, including yearly increasing numbers of
tourists, academics and international sailing professionals who
follow The Race as spectators, researchers or participants. Not
surprisingly, the Sandeq Race meanwhile became topic of dozens of
reports, features, articles and films in national and international
printed and electronic media.
In recent years two Traditional Schooners of SongLine Cruises
followed the complete Sandeq Race. SongLine Cruises will offer a
program for travelers interested in a cultural experience among
Indonesian people that seldom see tourists. For more information
