The Official Notice of Race is on the Byte Championship website and registration is now open.

First to register has been Alex Davis of Bermuda seen below already training in the hopes of qualifying Bermuda for the first Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in Singapore, 2010. The North American Qualifier (NAQ) will be held in Cayman in March of 2010 but Alex sees the 2009 World Championship at CORK as a good opportunity to get up to speed in the Class and Singapore has also indicated it is sending a team of up to 12 sailors to the World’s.

World’s Charter boats are available from PS2000 on a first come, first served, basis and details can be found here.

In the NAQ for the YOG, only four countries will be selected from amongst the North American and Caribbean countries. Both one male and one female spot are open to each country making for eight places total. Charter boats will be available in Cayman. Inquiries to Peter Bjorn - peter@ps2000.ca
