KRABI, THAILAND, December 24, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The regatta has been running for 13 years and organizers have renamed the event for this year, The Bay Regatta - Phuket, Phang Nga, Krabi, and it is hoped that this will reflect the true nature of the event. The dates for the 2011 event have been confirmed for 9th to 13th February 2001.
The region's yachting community will come together against the stunning backdrop of the limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay. The yachts will set sail around the three provinces of Phang Nga, Phuket and Krabi and participants will spend four days racing and five days partying aboard.
The regatta has a reputation as being the fun regatta in Asia and is definitely one of the highlights of the racing calendar, offering the most stunning scenery.
It is expected that over 60 yachts with full crew will enter the race joining from many countries around the world. The teams will be competing for a honour in one of six classes, Bareboat Charter, Racing, Firefly 850, Cruising A, Cruising B, and Multihull.
The event will pass through the beaches of Krabi, so anyone staying in hotels in Krabi will have the opportunity to view the fantastic sight of the world-class yachts moored in the limestone bays.
