As per usual, the biggest division is Bareboat Charter joined by Open Charter (total 19). The Cruising Class, Classics and Modern Classics make up 21, and there are 24 multihulls \u2013 probably the biggest collection of cats and tris at any regatta in this part of the world.<\/p>\n<p>At today\u2019s opening press conference, Kevin Whitcraft, Chairman of the King\u2019s Cup Organising Committee, said, \u201cWe are incredibly proud that the Phuket King\u2019s Cup is able to take a regional role in contributing to the growth of the Thai sailing community and yachting in Thailand. This event gives Thai sailors a superb opportunity to experience international competition, and raise the cachet of Phuket as one of the world\u2019s premier yachting destinations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The elite divisions promise some tight racing with three TP52s going head-to-head, and competing with the RP76 Jelik and the canting-keel newcomer from Tasmania, Alive (Duncan Hine, RP66 &#8211; via Hamilton Island, China Coast Regatta, Vietnam Race and the Raja Muda).<\/p>\n<p>The event offers a time-honoured format of windward-leeward races combined with around-the-islands courses, and there are plenty of islands to choose from around the southern end of Phuket. Present forecasts indicate 14kts of breeze for the first three days of the regatta and 5s and 7s in the latter part of the week.<br \/>\nThere is also the \u2018Youth\u2019 element of the regatta in the shape of the fourth International Phuket King\u2019s Cup Dinghy Regatta, featuring Optimist, Topper and Laser Standard and Laser Radial classes, with over 60 entries.<\/p>\n<p>December in Phuket: what\u2019s not to like? Would you rather be sailing here, or in cold and wintry Europe? 30 degrees, blue skies, shorts and t-shirts. Is there another way to sail? Once upon a time a large percentage of the King\u2019s Cup fleet came from the northern hemisphere, with a heavy salting of Hong Kong boats plus a couple from Australia and New Zealand and a smattering of local entries from both resident expatriates and Thai nationals. The geopolitics have changed. The major influx of Russian entries in recent years is still strong if decreased (16 boats), there are 14 from the Antipodes, and 23 Thai-registered boats. Europe provides 14 entries, China five, Japan eight and Hong Kong five more.<\/p>\n<p>The Regatta enjoys the continued support of the host sponsor Kata Group Resorts Thailand, and strategic sponsors the Thai Government Lottery Office, Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau, and the Thailand Tourism Authority.<\/p>\n<p>Today was Practice Race day \u2013 and also Registration, Measurement, the Skipper\u2019s Briefing and the Opening Ceremony &#8211; there\u2019s definitely \u2018movement at the station\u2019. Tomorrow the on-water action begins in earnest with a Sail-Past in honour of His Majesty King Bhumiphol Adulyadej, with the salute being taken by Thai Royal Navy vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Like Arnie said, \u201cWe\u2019ll be back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday was the King of Thailand\u2019s birthday, and tomorrow is the start of the regatta that celebrates that happy anniversary, the Phuket King\u2019s Cup. 2015 is the 29th running of the event, and has yet again attracted a substantial fleet of entries for what many consider to be Asia\u2019s premier big boat regatta.
