NOR? Schedule of events? How are boats getting there? Are charters available? Sponsorship options?

How many boats are planning on attending??

Sounds like they are trying to turn this into another Catacup. Catacup works because everything is well organized well in advance. The event finds the sponsors to get your boat there, organizes housing and food. You just need to get yourself there and the boat to the correct port. The also schedule it when the season is ending in the Northern Hemisphere yet it is still warm and windy on the island. September is in the middle of our sailing season-we'd have to pick between this and half a dozen other events, including Catacup and Nationals with over 40 boats at each (vs. 7 at the 2014 Capricorn Challenge).
