22 - 26 July is expecting more entries this year.

Getting geared up for their own annual dose of fun, the Phuket Raceweek organisers told Andaman News that they have posted the Notice of Race on the regatta website and online registration is open – with fantastic savings of up to 25% for entries received by June 19th. They hope everyone takes advantage of the ‘early bird’ entry fees. The participants get a great deal and organisers get the information needed to plan the best event possible – so we all win said Grenville Fordham, MD of Raceweek organisers and rights owners, IMAGE asia. Six Senses Phuket Raceweek will be held from 22-26 July at the Evason Phuket & Six Senses Spa, with racing off the southern tip of Phuket. Although – with about two months still to go – it’s too early to predict numbers with any degree of accuracy, the ‘buzz’ around Phuket’s yachting community is that 2009 is going to be a bumper year, despite the global gloom. An indication of what’s in store is the number of Phuket-built Fireflys expected to race in their one-design class.
