Attracting the serious, the not-so-serious and the not-at-all-serious \u201cracing\u201d sailors, the regatta appeals to an international mix who enjoy the stunning sailing grounds of the area and a different destination each evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe successful event format hasn&#8217;t changed much over the years, but the sailors, types of boats and demographics have. We are seeing more international sailors flying in and chartering boats to take part and we&#8217;re also seeing more people opting to stay ashore each evening, rather than on their boats,\u201d said Ms.<strong> Kae Wattana, Managing Director of organisers Regattas Asia.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach evening we anchor at a different venue and the sailors go ashore. Those staying ashore \u2013 more than 60% of the fleet \u2013 book accommodation and either eat in the local restaurants or enjoy the official event functions which engage with the local community. Most of the expenditure of the regatta goes directly into the local economies of the areas we visit \u2013 this has been the case since the regatta was launched and it will remain so for the future,\u201d commented Ms. Wattana.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Held from\u00a0<span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_775566552\"><span class=\"aQJ\">15th to 19th February<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, The Bay Regatta is a series of passage races \u2013 an event format that has caught the attention of sailors around the world with participants coming from as far afield as Australia, Russia, the UK and Canada to compete in six classes (Racing Class, Cruising A, Cruising B, Bareboat Charter, Racing Multihulls and Cruising Multihulls)<\/p>\n<p><strong>The 2017 programme is as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_775566553\"><span class=\"aQJ\">15th February<\/span><\/span>:<\/u>\u00a0Registration and Opening Party at Chandara Resort and Spa, Ao Po (Phuket).<\/li>\n<li><u><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_775566554\"><span class=\"aQJ\">16th February<\/span><\/span>:<\/u>\u00a0Day 1 \u2013 Race from Ao Po to Paradise Koh Yao with prize giving at Paradise Koh Yao Resort (Phang Nga).<\/li>\n<li><u><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_775566555\"><span class=\"aQJ\">17th February<\/span><\/span>:<\/u>\u00a0Day 2 \u2013 Race from Paradise Koh Yao to Krabi.
