Kata Group Partners Phuket King's Cup Regatta for 17th Consecutive Year
The classic race is pleased to announce that Kata Group Resorts Thailand will continue its longstanding role as Host Sponsor for the 17th year for this, the 29th competition. The Phuket King's Cup Regatta 2015 will be held at Kata Beach Resort and Spa from 5th December to 12th December, and will host international racing classes across which around 150 boats and 1500 sailors will compete for one of sailing's most prestigious trophies.

Kata Beach Resort and Spa, one of six properties owned and managed by Kata Group, is the long-established home of the Phuket King's Cup Regatta, serving as race control center, the sailor's briefing point, media center, party venue and also temporary home of the Phuket King's Cup Regatta Organizing Committee and its support teams, as well as providing high quality accommodation to sponsor representatives and VIP attendees. Kata Beach Resort and Spa will also host the Regatta opening ceremony on Sunday 6th December and the Closing Royal Award Ceremony on Saturday 12th December at Kata Beach Resort and Spa.

Consisting of five days of racing on challenging, scenic courses held amidst the beautiful Andaman Sea islands, the Phuket King's Cup Regatta brings some of the world's fastest independent racing teams, in addition to its famed beachside party series.

The Regatta offers sponsorship/media engagement opportunities and premier networking opportunities hosted at the party venues each night following the day's racing. The regatta also supports tourism in Phuket and Thailand as a whole with an expected economic contribution of around 300 million Baht.

Gauhati Town Club then fought back in their next match against the Southern Stars to win an exciting encounter. Batting first they made 94 runs, with Gupta, Deep and Bora's impressive batting contributing to this large score. The Southern Stars batted well to make 73 runs with Hayden Smith making 29.
