2010 Regatta Programme

CREW TICKETS ARE REQUIRED TO ENTER THE REGATTA AREA AT EVASON AT ALL TIMES.
NO CREW TICKET, NO ACCESS.
Please ensure every member of your crew has a ticket.
Crew whose tickets are paid for at the time of finalising registration of your boat on Wed 21 July, or before, will receive a regatta t-shirt. Individuals purchasing tickets later will not.
  • FREE-FLOWING BEER, WINE & SPIRITS! Continuing the tradition started in 2008, Six Senses Phuket Raceweek will have free-flowing beer, wine and spirits throughout each party, in part courtesy of our Official Suppliers Siam Winery.

    The rest of the format is the same as for the last five years: Four days of racing, no lay day. Five nights of parties.

  • The regatta HQ — registration, results, prizegivings and all regatta administration — will be operated from the lower sea view terrace (Into The Beach) of Evason Phuket & Six Senses Spa, adjacent to the jetty. Into the Beach is also the venue for the post-race Regatta Tavern and four of the five official regatta parties.

  • Into the Beach's Regatta Tavern offers ice-cold post-race beers at Ao Chalong-type prices, quick snacks + mood music from Trevor... This is the place to gather off the water and chew the fat. Ask anyone who has been there for Raceweek — this is one of the best regatta venues going!

  • There will be shuttle boats from the Evason jetty for boats anchored in Ao Chalong, although past experience has shown that there is ample available anchorage right off the regatta venue.

  • All race starts will take place at 10:00 hrs off the Evason Phuket.

Unicorn return for the third year - by popular demand! Thailand's undisputed best all-girl rock n' roll band who wowed the party goers for the last two years.
They'll be playing at Evason on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 July.

Dom, Tai, Tu, Wi and Purn have been friends since childhood. They grew up together in Thailand and went to school and university together. Joined more recently by the sixth band member, Ning, they deliver covers of a very high standard - whether it's Rock, Soul, R&B, Reggae or pure pop - both Western and Thai, all woven together with some of their own songs. According to reviewers, you do NOT have to be under 20 to enjoy... For more on the girls, visit www.unicorngirlband.com

When Unicorn are not playing, we'll have a DJ doing his thing.
