But, for those who come to enjoy the sailboat races as part of the “Hua Hin Regatta 2008” which is being held at the beginning of August, if you watch very closely, you might see this group really concentrating on the races.

The reason I say that the spectators really have to concentrate carefully is that what you see is exactly that ( - people watching with great concentration). If they were to watch the sailboat races with their naked eyes, it would be too difficult to clearly see the competitors who are sailing along in the ocean.

Spectators must therefore keep their eyes firmly fixed to their binoculars and watch what is passing before their lenses to concentrate on and cheer for the competitors who showing off their sailing skills on the sea.
