Regatta Programme
Below is the 2009 programme. This will give you an idea of the format.
The 2010 programme will be uploaded as soon as it is finalised.
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 registering your boat, or in advance, 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 Canpac Beverages. To date, we do not have a Happy Hour sponsor, but if one comes through the drinks will flow from 5pm each day.
The rest of the format is the same as for the last four yea rs: 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.

We are hoping to see the return of Unicorn, Thailand's undisputed best all-girl rock n' roll band who wowed the party goers last year. If we can persuade them to leave the big city, they'll be playing on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 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 music and (not too much) natter - not to mention co-ordination of everything happening onstage - courtesy of Trevor. Those who know him... know him. Those who don't soon will.
