EFG Bank Mandrake wins the Hong Kong Typhoon series

The first race coincided with the Koh Samui, so we didn't compete. The second race was a disaster with everything going wrong both on and off the boat.

Koh Samui Regatta

(2 votes, average 5.00 out of 5)

15 June 2011

Although Team Mandrake has sailed in the Koh Samui Regatta several times before, this was the first time we completed in the 40ft class and it was a completely new experience.

At this time of year with the transition from the north east to the south west monsoon, the winds were light and very variable, with most days ended in massive thunderstorms. This did nothing to mar the beauty of the island and the great competition with 14 boats in our class.

EFG Bank Mandrake wins the "Big Boat Series"

18 April 2011

EFG Bank Mandrake wins the "Big Boat Series" in Hong Kong by one point. Sailed over two weekends in the choppy waters to the East of Hong Kong, EFG Bank Mandrake succeeded in clocking up 4 firsts, a second, and a third to win overall in moderate to heavy conditions...

The next race is the San Fernando race from Hong Kong to the Phillipines starting 20th April, followed by the Koh Samui Regatta Thailand, 30th may to 4th June 2011 and then a return to Hong Kong for the Typhoon series in the summer.

Big Mandrake has been sold, and the new owner reports great success in the Hainan race. She will be kept at Long Cheer Yacht Club, Shenzen, China, roughly 40 miles east of Hong Kong.

Mills 51 for sale

Written by Nick Burns | 15 February 2011

With the purchase of the new 41 foot EFG Bank Mandrake for the Commodores Cup in Cowes in 2010, the boat has now been shipped to Hong Kong, and will be raced from now on in Hong Kong and on the Asian Circuit. The boat proved itself in the Commodores Cup coming second in class, and as a team, 2nd overall. We look forward to better results in Asia in the coming years.

As a result the owners are long on "Mandrakes" and the Mills 51 is now up for sale at a very competetive price. Anyone interested should contact Nick Burns at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
