| Sawadee.com Regatta Samui: 30 May - 4 June 2011 |
|
The Sawadee.com Regatta, Samui, is an annual event that takes place on the beautiful sun-drenched island of Koh Samui from 30 May to 4 June 2011. For the tenth consecutive year, this leading lifestyle and sporting event attracts competitive and social sailors from around the world. The five-day regatta is one of Asia’s most glamorous sailing events and is also part of the Asian Yachting Grand Prix Championships. Fabulous sailing conditions prevailed at the 2010 regatta — so much so that a round-the-island race was attempted for the first time in the event’s history. In addition to the competitive sailing, the Sawadee.com Regatta is about fun parties and is firmly established as a ‘must attend’ event on the international sailing circuit. Headquarters for the event will again be the ‘Centara Grand Beach Resort’, which has been the home of the regatta since its conception and that welcomes crews from far and wide year after year. Spectator boats will provide a unique opportunity for members of the public to get ‘up close and personal’ with all of the ‘on-water’ sailing action. Public tickets will also be available for the legendary ‘off-water’ parties that occur most evenings during the regatta and that feature renowned bands and fabulous entertainment. In 2009, bright sunshine, blue skies and strong winds provided for excellent competitive sailing conditions. The regatta provides an ideal mix of Thai charm and world-class sailing, in a location that crews jump at the chance to return to year-after-year. For further details see www.samuiregatta.com
