The Fremantle Harbours are situated on one of Western Australia's major train-lines and houses more than 1,000 marina berths, 5 boat launching facilities, 150 restaurants and numerous marine support services. The hosting of the ISAF Sailing World Championships would also create a likely catalyst for further infrastructure and facility upgrades in and around Fremantle and its harbours.
On-shore
The proposed venue for the 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships is one compact site based around the established Fremantle Sailing Club.
Off-shore
The planned course areas for the 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships are well proven sailing areas and have been used for a variety of international, national and state one-design class championships.
The course locations and layout have been designed by a group of the world’s leading sailors (past and present).
For the 2011 ISAF World Sailing Championships the Western Australia 2011 Organising Committee propose to have seven competition areas from which to choose on any given day.
During the prevailing sea breeze conditions (South Westerly) all course areas are to windward of the event village offering competitors a chance to tune upwind on the way to the starting areas prior to racing and an easy downwind sail back to the event village after racing.
