Queen sets sail for glory and pride

The upcoming Southeast Asian Games will get a royal touch as Her Majesty the Queen has been confirmed to take part in the sailing competition.

“The 33rd SEA Games will be a special occasion as Her Majesty the Queen will participate in the keelboat SSL47 competition between Dec 15-18 at the Ocean Marina Resort Pattaya,’ said Chaiyapak Siriwat, vice-president of the National Olympic Committee of Thailand (NOCT) during the second “Meet the Press” event yesterday at the Rajamangala National Stadium.

Her Majesty will follow in the footsteps of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, who competed in sailing at the Southeast Asian Peninsular (SEAP) Games in 1967.

The late King and Princess Ubolratana were joint winners in the OK dinghy class of the sailing tournament, which was held in Pattaya.

Meanwhile, eight national sports associations have vowed to contribute 28 gold medals to the Thai tally at the Dec 9-20 tournament.
