The 2010 Rolex Farr 40 World Championship To Enter Caribbean Waters In April

The Caribbean Waters of Casa de Campo Marina in La Romana is all set to make way for the 2010 Rolex Farr 40 World Championship, a four day event which will commence on April 21. The prestigious sailing event will witness the participation of the best athletes from across the world and will take place for the first time on the waters of Dominican Republic.
With some of the supremely talented sailing athletes belonging to Italy, Australia, Denmark, United States, Greece and France among other nations in the troupe going with the presence of a huge number of fans and supporters, the 2010 Rolex Farr 40 World Championship is one grand regatta event to look forward to. The highly awaited event will also register the presence of some of the hot-shot business class elites and a vast line-up of national and international media covering the event. The official sponsor of the event is Rolex with the Casa de Campo Yacht Club and the Casa de Campo Marina Club jointly playing host to the event.
The highly spectacular sailing view and the scenic beauty of the Casa de Campo Marina in La Romana made it a perfect place for a regatta and compelled the organisers of the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship to choose it for the 2010 event. The rich and ultra lush view of the landscapes of this place will act like a bonus for the spectators and fans, allowing them to appreciate beauty of the Caribbean apart from getting a huge adrenaline rush from the adventurous regatta.

Over the years, the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship has earned a fine name and has registered its place among the most adventurous and highly prestigious annual sailing events across the globe. The name of the grand regatta completely justifies its very essence. The competition registers a huge participation from about 500 athletes sailing in yachts with an enormous size of 40-foot. Originally, Farr 40 was a sailing boat about 40-foot in size which was designed by Farr Yacht Design. Managed and controlled by the Stagg Yachts, the event is driven by one main unique rule according to which the owner of the boat should be an amateur and should helm the sailboat as per the advice and support of four talented and qualified sailors who will be there just to motivate the owner and keep up the spirit of the team.
The Rolex Farr 40 World Championship is considered one of the most competitive and challenging regattas globally. The sailing event follows a certain pattern while choosing the venue which revolves around the regional fleets of Europe, Australia, United States and Caribbean. The yacht club is located well in the middle of the Casa de Campo Marina and has a sailing school to its name which is equipped with four J24 boats and is supported by highly qualified teachers from Italy’s Yacht Club- Costa Smeralda which has its base in Porto Cervo Sardinia.
The event is backed by the Rolex which with its constant support aims at bringing out the best in sailors. Rolex has been lending its unparallel support to many sailing events including Farr 40 Pre-Worlds, the Capri Sailing Week and the Farr 40 World Championship.
