July 23rd to 27th 2008: Chalong Bay

Four days of racing, no lay day. Five nights of parties.

The regatta HQ — registration, results, prizegivings and all regatta administration — will be operated from the lower sea view terrace (Into The Beach) of Evason Phuket & Six Senses Spa, adjacent to the jetty, which will also be the venue for the post-race Regatta Tavern and four of the five official regatta parties.

All race starts will take place at 10:00 hrs off the Evason Phuket Resort. There will be shuttle boats from the Evason for boats anchored in Ao Chalong, although past experience demonstrated that there is ample available anchorage right off the regatta venue.

RACING: Registration Wednesday 23 July. First race day will be Thursday 24 July. Last race day Sunday 27 July.

SOCIAL: Opening party Wednesday 23 July. Closing party and overall prizegiving, Sunday 27 July.

Upgrades to the programme in 2008 include full buffet parties (no more little ‘cocktail’ parties) each night and the Rodenstock Happy Hour with free flow of drinks for the first hour of each Evason-based party.
