SAIL MELBOURNE THIS NOVEMBER (6th-12th)

THE PERFECT TRAINING GROUND PRIOR TO PERTH

Heading to Australia this summer? … The ISAF Sailing World Cup, Sail Melbourne hosted at Sandringham Yacht Club, 6-12 November, offers the perfect training ground for teams/individuals to compete against the best-of-the-best at a world-class international regatta, prior to the Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships.

Sail Melbourne will shortly be releasing details regarding a logistics solution that will make it easy and inexpensive for competitors to transport their boats and equipment from Melbourne to the Perth 2011 Worlds event.

Last year’s Sail Melbourne brought together 456 athletes from 42 countries across the globe, including a host of world champions and Olympic gold medallists. The impressive field included the likes of Ben Ainslie, Tom Slingsby, Malcolm Page, Matt & Friederike Belcher, Nick Thompson and Stuart McNay. We look forward to once again welcoming an impressive line up of competitors to this year’s event.

With the final race of the ISAF Sailing World Cup series taking place in June this year why not take full advantage of an additional competition at a world class regatta. The excellent sailing conditions on Port Phillip Bay coupled with an Olympic level race management team and state of the art facilities, makes Melbourne one of the most well regarded Olympic class sailing events on the circuit.
