TP52 World Championship 2010
Ten teams enter the TP52 World Championship to date
Ten TP52s from nine different nations have already registered their
entry to the 2010 TP52 World Championship that will be held on the
renowned waters off Valencia, Spain, from 4th – 9th October.
Alberto Roemmers’ crew on Matador (ARG) will be seeking to defend the
world title that they won last year in Palma, Mallorca. But they will
face tough competition from a fleet which includes past world
championship winning owners or skippers, Quantum Racing (USA) - which
completed the double in 2008, winning both the Audi MedCup title and
the worlds - and Swedish owner Torbjorn Tornqvist who steered his
Artemis (SWE) crew to both titles in 2007.
Two British teams, which are not Audi MedCup regulars, Jonny Vincent’s
Pace (ex RAN/2007 Patches) and Tony Langley’s Weapon of Choice (ex
2008 Matador), join the World Championships fleet. While Weapon of
Choice enjoyed racing at the Palma Worlds last year, this is Vincent’s
first season with the Reichel Pugh designed former Patches.
Rob Weiland (NED), TP52 Class Manager comments:
“Considering the economic climate and what has been happening in other
elite areas of the sport, it is great to be looking forward to
welcoming the same number of TP52’s to Valencia as we had in Palma.
It’s a great reason to think of joining the class full time for 2011.
The reputation of Valencia needs no further introduction and will
surely allow many of the teams to feel ‘at home.’ "
There are several teams that are still considering taking part in this
battle for the TP52 world crown, which keeps the entry list still
open. “There are potential charter opportunities, not least TeamOrigin
which could be available directly from their Valencia base,” Weiland
concludes.
The 2010 edition of the TP52 World Championship will be held off
Valencia from Tuesday October 5 to Saturday October 9, and will be
organised by World Sailing Management, the City of Valencia, Consorcio
Valencia 2007, the Real Club Náutico de Valencia, the TP52 Class, the
Spanish Sailing Federation (RFEV) and the Valencian Sailing Federation
(FVV).
The base for the 2010 TP52 World Championship will be the Marina Real
Juan Carlos I at the heart of the port of Valencia, and the competing
TP52 fleet will be docked in front of the iconic Veles e Vents
building.
