The Royal Varuna Yacht Club was an ideal venue for this annual weekend event, which is a great event for children and adult sailors alike, with many families travelling from other parts of Thailand to participate in this popular family event. Officially known as the “Peter Cummins Classic,” this annual event was well supported by local Thai sailors and expats alike, with one of the youngest competitors being tiny 10-year old Melisa Norton. She is No. 4 in her class in Asia, and is off to race at championships in Fiji on August 2008, while at the other end of the scale is well known local expat Dr. Hans Luther, who is still racing in competitions at 67 years of age. One of the event winners was Khun Damronsak Vongtim, of the Royal Thai Navy, and this was no great surprise as he is rated No. 9 in the world in the Olympic ‘Hobie-16’ class, which is the biggest yachting category in the world.
