SIMPSON BAY--Bonaire will be hosting the 2019 Sunfish World Championships, powered by Maclaren from September 14 to 20, attracting the world’s top Sunfish sailors who will battle for honours. The conditions are perfect to host this event on this small picturesque Caribbean island, located close to Curaçao and Aruba.
From the 21st – 25th the Masters (several categories of 40 and beyond) and the Youth (U19) will take to the waters to showcase their skills.
Maclaren will bring 72 brand-new boats, sails and trollies to the island to level the playing field. Everyone will sail with identical equipment, leaving only one variable, the talent of the sailor, to determine who is the fastest.
The boats will launch from the beach at Plaza Resort, the host for the event. Plaza Resort is a full-service resort with multiple bars and restaurants, casino, dive and water sports facilities.
The competition will take place in the bay directly in front of the resort. There will be viewing areas to watch the competition, both at the resort and from along the shores of Bonaire. The Sunfish boats will be available for sale after the event for a great price, so if you are thinking about purchasing a boat, September is the time to be there.
