WELCOME TO THE PLATU SECTION
We have 17 Platus in Ocean Marina and organize the best One
Design racing in Thailand, or even in Asia.
The championship was started in 2008 and is now in its 3rd year.
The 2011 series consist of 4 events (3 best score to count), all out of Ocean Marina Yacht Club in
Pattaya:
13th-14th March Platu Open
Championship of Thailand
30th April-3th May Top Of The Gulf Regatta, Platu
Coronation Cup.
12th-14th August Platu Thai National Championships of Thailand
8th-9th October Platu Cup
3 best scores to count for the Championship 2011 .
There are now 17 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.
