At the close of the month, 30 July, sailors gather for the annual Hua Hin Regatta 2008 that will test their skills over three
days of competition. The coveted trophies are the Royal Vega Rudder trophy of His Majesty the King, Super Mod National Championship
trophy from HM the King, OK Dinghy National Championship trophy from HM the Queen, and Princess Cup for Optimist Championship of
the late HRH Princess Galyani Vadhana.
Hua Hin is considered the traditional home for the country’s sailing community, due to HM the King’s keen interest in the sport.
A Southeast Asia Games winner in the sailing category, HM the King built his own racing dinghy and helped to establish the Super
Mod class and is an enthusiastic patron of sailing resulting in this annual regatta being held in his honour off the coast of
Hua Hin in sight of the palace.
