European, North American, South American, Canadian, Bermudian, Brazilian,
Argentinean, Chilean, Peruvian and Japanese Champions.
Hosted by the Rochester Yacht Club in Rochester, NY, located on the south

the starting blocks with over 100 boats on one huge line with multiple line
boats calling the start and keeping the aggressive teams in check.
