Da Vinci back in strength - as Co-sponsorFirst time Co-sponsor for 2010 is local restaurant Da Vinci, who hit regatta fame in 2009 by sponsoring Racing Catamaran winner, the Andaman Cabriolet Niña. In response to their win, at the closing party of last year’s event, Da Vinci owners placed an order for a sister yacht, which will be launched just in time to race in Six Senses Phuket Raceweek 2010. “We gained a lot of valuable exposure just by branding and naming a boat last year,” said Da Vinci partner Mark Norris. “Now that we have our own yacht, we decided it made sense to leverage our participation by becoming an event sponsor too. We’re also hosting one of the regatta parties at Da Vinci, so participants get a chance to see who and what we are,” he added. Phuket voted 'Best Asian Maritime Capital'While Bangkok was going through its worst spate of unrest in modern times, peaceful Phuket – 900 km south of Thailand’s troubled capital – received a well deserved accolade. Voted 'Best Asian Maritime Capital' in the annual Asian Boating Awards 2010, the island home of four annual regattas and four marinas was finally recognized for what it is: THE place in Asia to go boating. So it is fitting that one of Phuket’s most popular regattas, Six Senses Phuket Raceweek, should kick off the 2010/2011 Asian Yachting Grand Prix Championship... Thailand's favourite regattaRegistration is now open for Thailand's favourite regatta & the Provisional Notice of Race is online.Five nights of parties that are renowned as the best regatta parties in the region, combined with four days of high-octane yacht racing in the southwest monsoon season have elevated Six Senses Phuket Raceweek, now in its seventh year, head and shoulders above the rest.

Congratulations to you and your team on putting on one of Asia’s finest regattas. We will definitely be returning next year.” Anthony Hastings, Baby Tonga “We've been to many international regattas and this was world class standards. It's an excellent regatta - one of the best in the world - both for the sailing and bunch of people it attracts.” Neil Ayre, Shanghai Baby “I've had a fabulous time. It's my first time at this regatta and it's possibly the best experience I've had in Asia… I came here expecting the regatta to be much less competitive, but it was very tight racing… where the gap between first and second was [sometimes] less than 10 seconds.” Ray Roberts, Evolution Sails 
 “Great Regatta! The best in Asia. We recommend Raceweek wholeheartedly to all prospective participants.” Mike Downard, CEO of Sail in Asia “This is a fantastic regatta which is professionally run and meets all of the requirements for sailors at all levels." Rob Azzopardi, Prosafe Cunning Plan “The regatta just gets better and better - and the winds continue to co-operate. It has to be my favourite. We're very lucky to have such a regatta on the doorstep; visitors must be jealous.” Roger Kingdon, Moto Inzi “What a great regatta Phuket Raceweek has turned into. Hard racing during the day and plenty of entertainment at night. What more could a sailor wish for? It does not get much better than this, anywhere in the world, I can assure you.” Capt. Marty Rijkuris, CEO Asian Yachting. Read more...
