It cannot be denied that Marseille will provide an exceptional setting for this exceptional event. The second largest city in France and a wide-open gateway onto the Mediterranean, this cosmopolitan city will give the event international influence. Furthermore, Marseille will be the European Capital of Culture in 2013 so the density of the city's event organisation will make the J 80 Worlds all the more intense.
120 to 150 boats are expected into the Roucas Blanc Stade Nautique (Marine Stadium), which lies just a few metres from the beaches of Le Prado and right next to the beautiful race zone in Marseille's southern harbour.
All the necessary logistical means to deal with July's influx in Marseille will be arranged with the assistance of the teams in charge of the city's marine events. In this way, during the week of competition, the Roucas Blanc port and site will be entirely dedicated to the event, with temporary pontoons installed according to needs, with private parking nearby, the storage of trailers at a protected outdoor site and a partnership with the Accor group to satisfy accommodation requests.
After the period set aside for welcoming the boats from Friday 5 to the evening of Sunday 7 July, Monday 8 July will see the launch of the event with a training race and a large marine parade to get the locals involved in the event.
The races themselves will be spread over 3 daily races from Tuesday 9 to Saturday 13 July. The on-the-water organisation will be relying on the Fédération Française de Voile (French Sailing Federation), who will in turn be supported by the teams drummed up by the main local sailing clubs, who have a vast experience of major sailing events.
The intensity of the on-the-water competition will be mirrored by a packed programme of entertainment on shore, to make the week-long stay in Marseille a relaxed celebration for the crews in the Roucas Blanc race village. The programme will kick off with an opening soirée on Monday 8 July, a nightly prize-giving with entertainment in the large marquee pitched alongside the boats and a sumptuous skippers' supper on Friday 12 July. All that, for the price of an inscription!
