its inception in 1987, the Phuket King's Cup Regatta has grown
to become Asia's premier yacht racing event. Traditionally held
in early December, the Regatta was conceived to honour His Majesty
the King of Thailand's 60th birthday.
Now 14 years on the event has grown from
strength to strength, in both size and reputation, boasting the
largest contingent of keel boats, multi-hulls and traditional
craft.

BEST EVENT AWARD
1998-1999
|
We are pleased to announce that the Kingscup Organising
Committee has just been awarded the Best Event Award from
the Thailand Incentive and Convention Association (TICA)
for 1998-1999. The award was presented to the Committee
on September 23rd, 2000 at the Royal
Cliff Beach Resort in Pattaya.

Venue
is Phuket Only
|
This year, the entire Regatta will take place in and around
Kata Beach. From the feedback received after last year's
event, we found that the overnight stop in Phi Phi was unpopular
and that the Krabi start was difficult for participants
to organise.
