Now in its eighth year, the Koh Samui Regatta is set to maintain its strong reputation as one of the highlights of the Asian sailing circuit. The regatta was founded in 2001. Starting with just 11 boats the event grew every year with an extensive number of beach cats making up much of the fleet.
By the 3rd year the regatta had achieved International status and was beginning to attract a number of boats from overseas including Hong Kong, Singapore and even Australia.
The regatta continued to grow and cemented its importance to the Asian yachting scene by being the last regatta in the Asian Yachting Grand Prix series. After 8 races in 5 countries this means that the overall
grand prix results often come down to how well yachts perform in Samui.
Racing
The Koh Samui Regatta includes racing over a mixture of coastal passages and around the cans courses just off the East and North coast of one of Thailand's most beautiful islands. Most of the action will take place within site of the Eastern and Northern Coasts of Koh Samui.
The Koh Samui Regatta, widely regarded as one of the best in the region, offers a truly international event with participants from Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, The United States, the United Kingdom, Italy and France. In past years, the event has attracted between 30 to 40 boat entries with an even mixture of keelboats and multihulls.
Koh Samui
At 247 square kilometres, Koh Samui is Thailand's third largest island. During the last decade the island has become one of South East Asia's top five most visited tourist destinations.
The neighbouring islands of Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and the breathtaking Ang Thong National Marine Park offer visitors a wide range of activities such as sailing, scuba diving, snorkelling and adventure excursions.
Along with the island's established infrastructure including international educational and medical facilities, a wide choice of high street shopping brands, exquisite dining venues, and beautiful white sandy beaches, Koh Samui stands out as one of the jewels in Thailand's illustrious crown.
