QUANTUM ONE DESIGN PLATU CHAMPIONSHIP 2010

CLOSE BATTLE TO THE END

This years Quantum One Design Platu Championship of Thailand has been won by Rolf Heemskerk, of Holland, beating Scott Duncanson, of Australia, by one point after 4 rounds.

These two skippers have been sharing the Platu honours in very close battles continuously for the last 3 years but in very light conditions Rolf won the Thai Nationals last week to take the crown away from Scott, who has held it for the last two years. Almost every regatta these two have competed in has been won by very close margins and in more than one instance, had to resort to countback to seperate them.

But this is Rolf Heemskerk's year and he should enjoy his success and look forward to next years Platu Championship which promises to have even more International flavour and an ever increasing level of competitor.

The success of this Championship relies on there being many charter boats available, and all prepared to a standard capable of winning. This allows crews to travel from all over the world knowing they can compete on equal terms with the local sailors..For all information on the Platu Championship and charter boats contact Kev Scott. email kevscott@hotmail.com or cell +66 878 25 00 11.
