The 25th Phuket King's Cup Regatta ended with great award presentation ceremony and party
The prize presentation ceremony for the 25th Phuket's King Cup Regatta took place on December 10th after the whole week hard work at sea and party rotates at best locations each evening. The ceremony was presided over by HM the King's private representative ML Usanee Pramoj. Thailand scored a magnificent victory in IRC 2 Class, as Chief Petty Officer First Class Wiwat Poonpat's team on 'Royal Thai Navy 1' honoured His Majesty the King of Thailand with a clear class win. Wiwat said, "We are very proud to be able to take overall victory for His Majesty the King's birthday. I'm sure all Thai people will be very appreciative of this result, and hopefully we can encourage more people into the sport of sailing." The main winner 'Team Premier's' skipper Hannes Weimer and crew took a win for series as IRC Zero Class. 2011 was the 25th anniversary of the Phuket King's Cup Regatta. The event attracted the largest fleet in the competition's history with 91 keelboats and multihulls, 38 dinghies and 19 Kiteboards, and over a thousand sailors from 33 countries across the globe. Conditions were good for much of the week, and comments centred on the enjoyable racing and spectacular beach side parties each evening.
After the trophy presentation ceremony, freelance reporter Grant talked to the main winner, the skipper of Team Premier Hannes Weimar who explained how proud they were after taking part in this prestige event for ten years as he thought it was a very good regatta.
