Perth and Fremantle To Host Top Sailing Event
By clairesutton on Nov 8, 2007 in Sports.
Western Australia will stage the biggest sailing event since Fremantle’s 1987 America’s Cup defence, beating five other countries to host the 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships.
The two-week competition will be the key qualifying event for the 2012 London Olympic Games and will see up to ten world championships staged simultaneously in Fremantle.
Five other countries bid to win the event, Korea, Russia, Germany, Finland and the Netherlands, but the judges decided that Fremantle was one of the most outstanding sailing venues in the world.
