Friday 03 May 2013 16:24
Jaguar Land Rover’s sponsorship of the legendary Top of the Gulf Regatta, one of Asia’s most popular sailing events, in Pattaya, Thailand, provides the leading luxury sedan and SUV manufacturer an opportunity to show its award-winning models. The sponsorship reflects Jaguar Land Rover’s recognition of Pattaya as a key market as the brand grows to meet demand from Thai and foreign residents in the city and its surrounding provinces.

Danai Chandrangam, General Manager of City Automobiles Co., Jaguar Land Rover’s authorised distributor in Bangkok, said, “Jaguar Land Rover is pleased to support the Top of the Gulf Regatta 2013 incorporating the Coronation Cup and Thailand Optimist National Championships. Over the eight years the competition has run, the Regatta has been a valuable proving ground for young sailing stars from around the world, in addition to regularly attracting top regional and championship sailors to compete in this world-class event. It’s a high-profile occasion and as such, is a strong advertising platform; Pattaya is an important market for both brands, as we see increasing market demand and growth of the luxury automotive segment in this area of Thailand.”

During the event from May 3- 7, visitors will be able to get ‘hands-on’ with a variety of Jaguar and Land Rover models, which have scooped a wide array of awards and accolades worldwide, including the All New Range Rover and Range Rover Evoque.

The Regatta runs from 3 to 7 May 2013 and attracts a large fleet of sailboats, as well as over 600 sailors from more than 30 countries. The race is held annually in Pattaya.

About the Top of the Gulf Regatta

The Top of the Gulf Regatta was founded by Bill Gasson and Ocean Marina Yacht Club in 2005. The idea was developed from various small yacht racing events that were being held at Ocean Marina Yacht Club at the time, and with the aim to combine and create one of the largest regattas in Thailand.

At present, the Top of the Gulf Regatta is organized by an Organising Committee with support from the Ocean Marina Yacht Club, Royal Varuna Yacht Club and the Royal Thai Navy, and is held under the auspices of the Yacht Racing Association of Thailand.
