This increasingly popular event is expected to attract over 20 entries this year and is a perfect feeder event for Six Senses Phuket Raceweek.

The event is a joint enterprise between SEA Property and the Ao Chalong Yacht Club and comprises three days of racing with four parties. Registration is on Thursday 15 evening hosted by the Ao Chalong Yacht Club. There will be a briefing on the Friday at 9am. This is followed by a programme of five races to be held on the Friday (2), Saturday (2) and Sunday (1) with themed evening parties at the Yacht Club sponsored by Sea Bees, Corsair Marine and Derani Yachts. Our logistics sponsors also include Andaman Cabriolet, Latitude 8 and our media partners IMAGE asia, with Elite Wine promising some special prizes.

One of the reasons for the popularity of this event is that in the absence of monohulls, many sailors get the opportunity to experience the exhilarating racing on multihulls for the first time.

South East Asia is an area where multihulls work particularly well and we are delighted to have on board three of the multihull manufacturers from the region. Latitude 8 with the Fireflys and the Whitehavens, Corsair Marine represented by perhaps as many as 6 or 7 boats and the new design and last year’s Six Senses Phuket Raceweek winner, the Andaman Cabriolet Niña, joined by the latest out of the Composite Catamarans stable, Da Vinci.

We anticipate the full fleet of Firefly 850 one design class (9 boats) and the ocean multihull class is expected to exceed 12 boats. Cruising Multihulls will be included in this year's event with primarily offwind courses. This unrated class will be given handicaps by the local OMR handicapper.

Prizegiving on the Sunday will be around 5pm giving everybody time to prepare for Monday.

There will be longtail boat access to the yachts in the bay and dinghies may be stored at the club.

There will be a full breakfast menu at the club and a lunch pack will be available if ordered on time!
