Bay Regatta - 2020

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We recently took part in the 23rd Bay Regatta in Phang Nga, Thailand. There were 20 Mono hulls and 9 Catamarans racing over 4 days around the islands of Phang Nga and Krabi. The mono hulls were split into 4 classes, Racing, Cruising A and B and Bareboat Charter. There was a normal mixture of no wind and good winds varying between 0 and 25 knots.Previously we had used our Furlstrom downwind, but we bought a 140sq m asymmetrical spinnaker for the occasion and it certainly helped, without too much impact on our handicap.
Details, photos and results can be see on www.bayregatta.com, but I am happy to say that Night Train won Cruising A overall and Venture a Hanse 400 won the bareboat charter class overall.

All the best
Paul

	Thanks Frank, I work on the theory that a cooler crew sails faster. Hence the Bimini All the best Paul
