You raise an interesting point there, the 2012 worlds are in september which means that euro boats will have to be in containers by august at the latest.
Our season runs until the end of october which means you will miss out on half a season.
This wont be such a problem for the pro teams since they will either ship a 2nd boat or rent one.
IMHO the absolute best time to do a worlds outside europe is between november and march.
