The Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships will be held between Saturday 3rd and Sunday 18th of December, 2011.

World Champions will be decided in Perth, and if that isn't enough, seventy five per cent of nations to compete at the 2012 London Olympic Games will earn their places at Perth 2011, with the remaining 25 per cent to be finalised at the respective class World Championships, in early 2012.

In 1987, the America's Cup Defence was held on the waters off Fremantle, with international sailors vying for sailing's most prestigious trophy. This event showcased Fremantle to the international scene as a world-class sailing venue. Our beautiful city is renowned for being one of the windiest in the world - an ideal venue for events of this calibre.

Perth 2011 is expected to be three times bigger than the America's Cup Defence. This Regatta will be held at Fremantle between Bathers Bay, Challenger Harbour and Fremantle Harbour and will attract 1400 international competitors, 5000 official personnel and hundreds of thousands of visitors to Western Australia.

In Fremantle, spectators will feel the excitement and be blown away as competitors bring the exhilarating action in very close to the shore. As the Event unfolds, 564 million viewers worldwide are expected to follow coverage of the Event on the television and through the Internet.

Perth 2011 would like to say thank you to the Federal Government, Eventscorp and to its sponsors, official suppliers and supporters for their ongoing assistance in bringing this exciting Event onto the world stage.

Remember, The Dream Begins in Perth!
