WELCOME TO THE PLATU SECTION
We have 19 Platus in Ocean Marina and organize the best One
Design racing in Thailand, if not Asia.
Raimon Land in association with Kevin Scott started the Raimon Land One Design Platu Championship Series in 2008. This was originally a 5 event series. The Series is now well known and is attracting top class entries from far and wide.
The 2010 series consist of 4 events, all out of Ocean Marina Yacht Club in Pattaya:
11th-14th March Platu Open Championship of Thailand
(Please note that Thursday will be a practice course and registration. There will be a
one day Special Event on the Friday. The OPEN will take place on Saturday and Sunday).
30th April-4th May Top Of The Gulf Regatta, Platu Coronation Cup.
8th-10th July Platu Cup (Registration and practice on Friday 8th)
22nd-25th October Platu National Championship of Thailand.
(Registration and practice course on Friday 22nd, racing 23/24/25 . Mon 25th is a Thai Holiday )
3 best scores to count for the Championship 2010 .
There are now 19 Platus at the Ocean Marina in Pattaya and with many available for charter this helps increase the number of "foreign" entries. Also, the class is strictly controlled by the International Platu Class Rules so that all entrants are guaranteed a level playing field when competing. This is borne out by the number of different boats on the rostrum each time. One Design promotes winning crews not winning boats.
So book your place early and make sure you enjoy some of the best racing in Asia.

CHARTER BOATS
We have several charter boats, subject to availability. These are always in good racing condition ready to win. We can also rent out racing sails of average racing quality.

RATINGS
Because of the accepted weight of 1,136 kgs minium, instead of 1,240 kgs, all our Platus here in Pattaya are rated as follows:
SBR 0.873
IRC 0.971
Owners may wish to have their boats rated individually. If so, Ocean Marina now offers weighing facilities.
