Evason Phuket Raceweek 2007

The Evason Phuket Raceweek 2007, now in its fourth year, will take place on the beautiful waters off the Rawai Beach on the South Eastern side of Phuket Island.

With the promise of international-standard yachting and five-star parties, the Regatta will play host to over 40 boats and 300 participants. Evason Phuket Raceweek is the fastest-growing regatta in Asia; the event creates the perfect opportunity to relax, network and entertain.

This year’s Raceweek comprises a four-day regatta covering seven race classes. While the final composition will be determined shortly before the event, likely classes include Racing Sports Boat Class, IRC Class, Club Class, Multihull Racing Class, Multihull Performance Cruising Class, Firefly 850 One-design Class and Classic Class.

The lower sea view terrace of the Evason Phuket Resort and Six Senses Spa will operate as the Phuket Raceweek HQ. The resort is the sponsoring host venue for the fourth year running, and is set among 64 acres of beautifully landscaped tropical gardens. Meanwhile, all the look-out points on the South Eastern side of Phuket Island will provide spectacular vantage points for the action.

Evason Phuket Raceweek is held under the auspices of the Ao Chalong Yacht Club, in conjunction with the Yacht Racing Association of Thailand. Organisers Image Asia Events Co., Ltd. will draw upon their vast experience with the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta, and the Phuket International Marine Expo (PIMEX) to create an event that perfectly showcases the region, and the sport.

Image Asia Managing Director Grenville Fordham said: “We are really excited to be organising the 4th Evason Phuket Raceweek. The 2007 event will undoubtedly be the best yet. It is rapidly becoming a big draw for spectators and participants alike, so such a prestigious event is very important for the local area and economy.”
