Tahiti Pearl Regatta May-16th - 20th 2012
*40 boats and 250 sailors to celebrate the 9th edition*
Pierre Dinard's 2003 great idea has grown, thanks to a small group of
Tahitian enthusiasts, into the greatest Polynesian regatta. Yachtsmen
from Australia, Japan, the US, France and Polynesia will all meet
tomorrow at the opening of the Race official village set up in Uturora
on the dream island of Raiatera. Registrations will be open all day and
entries will fill three different classes, multihulls and monohulls
according to the french sailing federation HN sailing rule (Handicap
National)
The Tahiti Pearl Regatta provides an ideal balance between competition
and a festive discovery of preserved and enthralling islands. This
year's race will send the 40 entrants between Raiatea, the sacred
island, Bora Bora the Pearl of the Pacific, Huahine and Taha'a.
The Tahiti Pearl Regatta is opened to any kind of sailing boats
(monohull, catamaran, trimaran, private or charter ship, on transpacific
stop-over...) of any size. Races take place under the authority of the
Tahitian Sailing Federation and are governed by the rules of the ISAF
(racing rules of sailing 2005-2008).
