Pattaya Blue Water Sailing Club

Cruise scheduled aboard 52 ft sailing catamaran December 12-16, 2011 contact Nathan Russo at 08 5275 6724 or email ncrusso1@gmail.com The PBWSC was created with the idea of assisting boat owning sailors and crew members to meet one another for the enjoyment of their mutual interest in sailing. In Thailand sailing can be a very expensive sport so whenever possible the club tries to achieve this objective.

However, in order to insure that those involved with the club get some opportunity to go sailing periodically the club rents large yachts sharing the cost amongst those participating in the particular event. The cost will vary from $50 per person for sailing out to local islands like Koh Larn for the day to $65-$90 per person per day for overnight trips to an island like Koh Samet. On the overnight trips the group usually has breakfasts and lunches aboard the yacht and eats dinners ashore. The primary sailing season in eastern Thailand’s Gulf of Siam is November through April.

For people who get involved in the club there are no dues and all the expenses involved in chartering the yachts are shared by those participating in the events. Periodically the club will sponsor a dinner for past participants in club events and for those interested in learning more about the organization.
