The Best J/24 UBS World Event Ever!
 PVNN
Nuevo Vallarta - Hundreds of the world's best sailors will compete in the 2007 J/24 UBS World Championship being held in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, March 5th to 9th. World famous Mexican hospitality and spectacular sailing conditions promise to be the hallmark of the largest international sailboat regatta ever held in Mexican waters.
Since joining the J/24 International Association in 1979, Mexico has grown to 250 affiliates and over 70 active boats. Twenty-four Mexican crews and boats have qualified for places in the competition.
Registrations have been confirmed from 14 countries, and over 70 boats will participate in the regatta. As well, the Mexican National J/24 Championship will take place March 23rd - 25th, and many of these participant boats will be available locally for charter by international teams.
This World's competition is the first to use real time, on line, satellite regatta tracking system. Globalstar will provide transponders for each boat, and using their "bent pipe" technology and constellation of 40 Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites, each race can be viewed online at http://www.j24mex.com/worlds2007.asp. Fans, friends and families all over the world will be cheering for their favorites in each day's race.
Another first for the World's will be the consistent sailing conditions of Banderas Bay. Warm steady afternoon breezes of 10 to 20 knots off the beaches of Nuevo Vallarta will provide an even platform for the one design J/24s.
Measurements will be conducted March 1st to 4th at Vallarta Yacht Club in Nuevo Vallarta, hosts for the 2007 competition, which consists of a Practice Race on Sunday, March 4th, and 2 races per day from Monday the 5th to Friday, the 9th.
The beautiful beaches and resorts of Vallarta Nayarit will provide the backdrop for a great social program including volleyball, fiestas and costume parties.
The J/24 UBS Worlds is made possible with the generous support of its sponsors which include UBS, the State of Nayarit, Scappino, Globalstar, Paradise Village Hotel, Microsoft, CEO Club, American Express, Comex, Lincoln, North Sail, Kuehne+Nagel and Interlingua.
