The Louis Vuitton Trophy regatta will have British representation in the form of the America's Cup sailing crew Team Origin.Taking place from November 7th, the Nice event will see eight teams from around the world battle it out for supremacy.
There will be four other venues used for the competition in 2010 - races which will enable all parts of Team Origin to get hands-on experience, according to principal Sir Keith Mills.
He said the regattas are owned by the competitors through the World Sailing Team Association and are promoted with the help of its sponsor and local yacht clubs.
"This is something we feel strongly about and we intend to play an active role in the management of the series," Sir Keith explained.
Each regatta features a round robin tournament, with semi-finals and finals as the latter stages.
Meanwhile, the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is in its second stage, with the vessels heading from France to Brazil.
According to the latest information, Team Finland is currently leading as the boats head south past the western coast of Africa.
"I would recommend Dream Marine to others. Everyone was easygoing and helpful. I didn’t mind who I talked to. It was all good. Shame having to come back to London afterwards.
Come on Chris… when’s the next one?"
