INTRODUCTION

The Taal Lake Marine Sports Festival is an annual event held on the beautiful and mysterious Taal lake. It is usually held during the first weekend of March marking the start of the summer season, and the Philippine Department of Tourism's   "Sports Festivals Month". The Organizing Authority is the Taal Lake Yacht Club, and the Co-organizer is the Department of Tourism.

4th TLMSF  1999 Activities

In 1999 the festival is expected to feature Hobie cats, Windsurfers, Paraws, Kayaking, Model boat sailing, a Triathlon, and a Concert.    Persons who are interested in trying out sailing may have the opportunity to go out for a ride, as boat owners are often willing to oblige, and rentals are available. Picnicing in the Yacht club while keeping track of the race is a really fun way to relax.

PRESS RELEASE

"Seniors" and "Youths" challenge at annual sailing classic.
 
As if they were setting out to prove that Hobie Cat sailing is not just a
young man's sport, senior division (over 50 yrs old) skippers Allan
Burrell, and  David Wheeler bested all teams but one in the 3rd Taal Lake
Marine Sports Festival sponsored by the Department of Tourism. Ed Baardsen,
with crew Ceasar Sagpang, captured the first place title for the Hobie Cats
held at the Taal Lake Yacht Club in Talisay Batangas on March 1 1998.

The Philippine Boardsailing Federation (PBF) staged the initial classifier
event for their Olympic search series during the Taal Lake Marine Sports
festival. Sea Games veteran German Paz maintained his slot over his two time
Olympian brother Richard Paz who trailed second. Roberto Frego of the
national pool ranked third, barely edging out Geylord Cuveta who finished
fourth on top of fellow "Youth" (developmental) sailors Reneric Moreno and
Bobby Coveta, who laced fifth and sixth respectively among the other
national team members that participated in the event.

The promising performance of the developmental sailors (ranging from 15-19
years old) is a reassuring sign for the Philippines to identify talent and
athletic material in this Olympic sport. Awarding Ceremony  The Host   1998 Results/ Dept. of Tourism/ Taal Lake Yacht Club / Sail Philippines / Philippine Board Sailing Federation
