Rolex Farr 40 World Championship

The Rolex Farr 40 World Championship will move to Newport,
RI, USA in 2006. Upwards of 30 racing sailboats - 40 feet
long and all identical in design - will race over four days
in ten challenging races for the world championship crown,
the World Cup, and a coveted Rolex timepiece. Each crew is
made up of four professional and five to six amateur sailors.
Each yacht must be driven by its amateur owner/helmsman.
Racing is precise, tactical and intense. With all other
factors equal, skill and timing are crucial.
