From the following Sail-World article
http://www.sail-world.com/Australia/Phuket-Kings-Cup-2012:-the-Glittering-Prizes/104615
Once again, it’s all over bar the shouting. The fat
lady has sung and sat down again, the trophies have been distributed, and the
photographs taken. 75 boat crews (not forgetting the dinghy sailors and
windsurfers) have partied their way from the Kata Beach Resort to the Kata
Thani, the Phuket Orchid, Centara Resort, the Boathouse and back to Kata. A
couple of multihulls got parked on the beach (not too serious) and one monohull
(rather more serious). One rig came down.
The weather co-operated all
week – there were a number of ‘AP-ed’ starts, but nothing yawningly long, the
sun shone almost relentlessly (pass the sunscreen please, again) and the breeze
blew around the 10-12kt mark with occasional enthusiastic bursts of more. 28
protests from 95 starts gave the Jury something to do, but there was only one
DSQ and a number of protests were disallowed either on grounds of out-of-time or
improperly lodged. Two threatened 69s resulted in an apology and a warning.
