The Sea Cliff Yacht Club and the Trustees of the Deed of Gift of the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy are inviting bids from yacht clubs and/or organizing authorities to host the 2006 regatta.
Submission of bids should be sent in accordance with the contact information shown below by 5 November 5 2005. Announcement of the winning venue will be made on 15 November 2005.
When considering a bid, you should anticipate that the regatta needs a week to permit round robins of both Challenger and Defender teams, and the semi finals and finals of the Challenger and Defender sail-offs, leading to the Trophy matches. A lay day is usually planned against unfavourable weather conditions.
Based on the Trustees' experience, the maximum number of competing teams to be able to fit in a one week schedule is probably six Challengers and six Defenders.
Any questions prior to the submission of a bid should be addressed to John B. Dawson, Jr., Chairman of the Trustees at jbdesq@ix.netcom.com.
Submission of a bid should be made to Sea Cliff Yacht Club, immediate attention of the Trustees, at icct@seacliffyc.org.
