PTTGC supports Thai dominance in Phuket Dinghy Series into fourth successful year

The Phuket Dinghy Series has inspired youth in Southern Thailand to take up sailing since its introduction in 2010. This year, the Phuket Dinghy Series enters its fourth successful year and is sponsored by PTT Global Chemical.

Kevin Whitcraft, President of the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta Organising Committee, said, “The Phuket Dinghy Series brings many new Thai sailing talents into the arena of competitive youth sailing.

“It serves as an accessible means of competition for young sailors from many sailing clubs in Phuket, Phang Nga, Songkhla, and as far as Chonburi, in order to prepare them for the International Stage and the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta.”

The first series of Phuket Dinghy Series is to be held from 5 to 6 October at Naiyang Beach Resort; the second series is hosted by The Kriss Resident Bang Tao from 26 to 27 October; the final race takes place from 23 to 24 November, and is hosted at Panwa Bay by the 3rd Naval Area Command, Royal Thai Navy.

The Phuket Dinghy Series is part of the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta, and winners of each class will receive a Royal Award which is to be presented along with other Regatta class winners at Kata Beach Resort and Spa on 6 December 2013.
