May 23-30 Samui Regatta, Koh Samui, THAILAND 19 2002 http://www.samuiregatta.comChampionship and Thailand Optimist Open Championship, both for
the first time.
The Samui Regatta, also owned by Regattas Asia, remains one of
the most popular events with all those who take part, as it retains its
beachy, island vibe, even if participants are down from its heyday after
joining the calendar in 2002.
Still, several of the Asian racing scene’s heavyweights – Team
Hollywood, THA72, Jelik, Freefire – as well as the Scallywag Fuku
Bld 60 trimaran competed in this year’s event, which featured ‘five
days of tropical sailing and six parties’. What’s not to like?
And if you then find yourself missing the action and camaraderie,
don’t worry: it’s not long before the racing season starts all over again.
