As preparations get into full swing for Six Senses Phuket Raceweek 2009 – comprising four days of first-class yacht racing and five nights of glittering parties – organisers and rights holders IMAGE asia are delighted to announce that Six Senses Resorts & Spas have signed up as Title Sponsor for the second consecutive year, while Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific have come on board for the first time as a Co-Sponsor.
“Given the state of the global economy, we’re particularly delighted by Six Senses’ renewed commitment to Raceweek,” said Image Asia MD Grenville Fordham. “And to sign a prestigious co-sponsor like Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific at times like this is a real boost,” he added.
Fordham pledged that his company will go all-out to maintain the high overall standards achieved at the 2008 event despite the world-wide economic conditions.
Echoing Fordham’s sentiment, organiser of the NRG Cup (inaugurated in 2008), Benjamin Dupal, CEO of Singapore- based NRG Engineering, said, “I’m confident we’ll be able to gather a full class, around 10-12 boats, this year. I can’t wait to be there again!”
The NRG Cup, an invitation event for companies within Oil and Gas industry, is staged within Six Senses Phuket Raceweek – with competitors racing against their industry colleagues from all over Asia, yet still competing in the main regatta against all other participants.
44 boats competed in Raceweek 2008 and the organisers are confident that the numbers will increase yet again in 2009. “Raceweek has grown gradually over the past fiveyears, attracting sailors from around the world, as its reputation for excellent monsoon season racing and superb waterside parties every evening has spread throughout the international yachting community,” said Fordham.
