RC44 World Championship
Puerto Calero Marina in Lanzarote is delighted to be the official organiser and host of the first RC44 World Championship to be held in October this year.
This will be the third time the marina welcomes the fleet which features famous sailing names such as Russell Coutts, James Spithill, Dean Barker and Paul Cayard.
“This is an important step for us”, comments the RC 44 Class Manager Bertrand Favre. “Over the past two years we have consistently organised races involving ten or more strict one-design RC 44’s representing ten countries. This number is due to increase over the coming months and the recognition by the International Sailing Federation comes as an acknowledgement of the hard work we have put into the development of this Class.”
The RC 44 World Championship in Puerto Calero will be an integral part of the RC 44 Championship Tour 2010. Three world championship titles will be awarded during this event; the RC 44 fleet race, match race and overall title. The points attributed towards the overall Championship Tour will have the same value as in the other regattas.
The Championship will coincide with Puerto Calero's annual César Manrique regatta, a sailing event that welcomes local and visiting yachts.
