Porto Cervo, Italy. The Yacht Club Costa Smeralda together with the International Farr 30 Class Association have announced the dates for the 2007 Moby Farr 30 World Championship. The regatta, organized by the YCCS in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, will take place from 1st to 7th October including two days of Pre-Worlds racing on the same Sardinian regatta course.

The Moby Farr 30 World Championships will be the culmination of an intense season of racing and celebrations for the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda which commemorates its 40th anniversary in 2007.   The Farr 30 class will be no less active in a 2007 which sees the fleet competing in regattas in the USA, Australia and Europe.

One competitor to watch will surely be Frenchman Erik Maris, current holder of the world title, and his Twins team. With the list of previous world champions including names such as Vincenzo Onorato (ITA), Mike Law (GBR) and Ed Collins (GBR), the combination of outstanding sailors, high performance one design yachts, and the world class race course off the north-eastern coast of Sardinia will make for some exciting competition.

“The Yacht Club Costa Smeralda is delighted to close our 2007 sporting calendar with a top-class event such as the Moby Farr 30 World Championship,” commented YCCS Commodore Gianfranco Alberini. “The Farr 30 is a growing, active class, and after last year’s Worlds in Miami, USA, we are pleased to welcome the fleet back to the Mediterranean for their 2007 championship.”

“The Farr 30 class couldn’t be happier to head to Porto Cervo for its world championship this year,” states Geoff Stagg of the Farr 30 management group.  “We are extremely fortunate to have the support of top notch organizations like the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and Moby. In this, the International Sailing Federation’s centenary year, we are looking forward to a fantastic Moby Farr 30 World Championship.”
