Race Planning Updates

News ideas for race management and organisation are being explored for the 2009 Phuket King's Cup Regatta. Updated on race planning can be found here.

Classes
Interest in the Premier Class is on the up with a number of new entrants planning to attend this year. We're also looking to introduce a number of divisions to the Bareboat Class. With the large number of one-design, near one-design, and same manufacturer boats, the thought is maybe to have a variety of divisions within the class to recognise this. And at the same time remove the Sunsail One-Design as a class and have it as a division in the Bareboat Class.

Lastly, watch out this year for Henry Kaye's new multihull flying machine. A Scandinavian design, his Sea-Cart is to hit the water at the Samui Regatta and on all accounts, it is a flyer.

Optimists
We have had a lot of interest in starting an Optimist class this year. From Samui there are a number of by Thai and expatriate kids planning to come and join, and also a good number of inquiries from Hua Hin. We welcome more so please do email us with your plans.

Inter-Hotel Hobie Competition
A new idea... well, it's an old idea that this year we want to bring to fruition. We are in discussions with a number of Phuket hotels and also the official Thailand Hobie representatives (Bluewater Sports) about starting an inter-hotel Hobie competition. It's early days, but there is strong interest in the idea and ongoing discussions. We'll keep you posted on developments.
