The 2011 Ronstan A-Cat Worlds begins 8-13-2011 and runs through 8-20-2011 in Aarhus, Denmark. There are 100 entrants with a waiting list of 10-12 other sailors. The information for the regatta is posted on the A-Cat Worlds website http://2011ronstanacatworlds.sailing-aarhus.dk/. This should be a great regatta featuring some of the top sailors around the world. While at the moment current World Champion Glenn Ashby is not planning to attend, the field is full of great competitors. This will additionally be a showcase of design, with some new platforms, sails and masts attending. Once everyone is registered there should be a list of who is sailing on what design. Of note will be the newer mast designs in which the mast is stiffer laterally and allows greater fore and aft bend. The WingFoX Nano http://wingfox.pl/ is pushing new boudries in the lifting foil interpretations, The DNA has shown some great speed and consistency, Lars Guck is believed to be sailing a modified Guck-A3 and these are just a few of the field. There are supposed to be 2-4 new platforms showing there as well. On the water though, it will be more the best and most consistent sailor who wins this regatta. Stay tuned to the website for updates. I will try to post them as I see them posted.
