Phuket Regatta


The 2016 Multihull Solutions Phuket Regatta is looking to be the
most successful in its nine-year history. Staged from July 14-17, this
year’s multihull-only regatta has received enormous interest and more
than 25 entries are expected to enjoy the four days of exhilarating racing
and unforgettable social action set against the breath-taking backdrop of
Phuket’s waterways.
The event is organised by Phuket Yacht Club and open to all
multihulls (catamarans and trimarans) with an overall length greater
than six metres that are acceptable to the race committee.
Private and charter multihulls are welcome to enter, and the regatta is
expected to comprise the following classes: Racing Multihulls with valid
OMR ratings; Firefly 850 Sports One Design Class; Cruising Multihulls
without OMR ratings; and Corsair Pulse 600s.
De Bruin says the 2016 regatta has received interest from all over
the region.
“It’s clear that the regatta is now a significant event for multihull
enthusiasts throughout Asia as well as Australia and New Zealand, who
realise it is a fantastic chance to escape the winter chill and enjoy some
exhilarating racing and unforgettable social events,” he says.
“There is simply no other professional regatta that delivers such
amazing racing, warm hospitality and breath-taking scenery, and
we look forward to continuing our partnership with Phuket Yacht
Club to make it one of the most popular regattas in the entire Asia-
Pacific region.
“We are hoping for a repeat of last year’s wonderful windy conditions
to deliver exciting action on the water, and our 2016 social itinerary is
the best yet with parties scheduled at the Phuket Yacht Club, including
an evening with complimentary beer courtesy of Corsair Trimarans.”
