The United States A-Class Catamaran Association is pleased to announce the 2007 A-Class Catamaran World Championships to be held on Islamorada Key, in the beautiful Florida Keys from November 10th through November 16th, 2007.
This prestigious event will include the most accomplished catamaran sailors in the World. Olympic Medalists, World and Continental champions will gather from every continent to compete in the newest and most exciting sailing venue in North America – The Islander Resort. The A-Class catamaran is one of the most technically advanced racing catamarans in the World. These 18 foot cats are built of state-of-the-art carbon fiber and weigh a mere 165 pounds, making sailing fast and exciting even in the lightest breeze.
Competition will be held on the Atlantic Ocean, above some of the most pristine coral reefs and beautiful water in the tropical USA. Onshore facilities at the Islander Resort include fresh and saltwater pools, beachside tiki bar, restaurant, and ocean front rooms with competitor boat storage at their doorstep.
Race officiating will be directed by members of the St. Petersburg Trophy winning Houston Yacht Club, and other well-known volunteers from yacht clubs throughout the USA.
