Press release 18th September 2013 : 2014 A-Class World Championships to fire into action off Takapuna Beach |
2014 A-Class World Championships to fire into action off Takapuna Beach
As the yachting world feasts their eyes on the multi-hull action unfolding on San Francisco Bay, New Zealand is gearing up to celebrate the class which has now bred some of the talented sailors competing for the America’s Cup this month.
The A-Class Catamaran World Championships will be sailed off Takapuna Beach from 5 – 16 February, 2014. Recognized as one of the best sailing waters in the world, Takapuna has plenty to offer both sailors and visitors, with sometimes challenging wind and weather conditions keeping sailors at the top of their game.
The beauty of this event truly lies in the diversity of sailors, with a broad range of young and old, professional and amateur participants taking to the water.
A-Class sailor, Artemis Skipper, and 49er gold medallist Nathan Outteridge is looking forward to seeing how technology from the America’s Cup will affect the class competition.
“Foiling was clearly a big point of this America’s Cup, and I expect to see various different avenues of foiling explored over the next few years in the A-Class fleet to chase an overall performance improvement,” he says.
Although Nathan’s attendance at the 2014 World Championships is unconfirmed, he says the event is bound to be exciting.
The A-Class fleet has a great group of people. I have no doubt that the Worlds in Takapuna will be a huge success. I’ve got a busy summer ahead, but if I can find the time to compete I will be there,” he says.
A typical training ground for multi-hull sailors, the A-Class continues to draw in a competitive field, from the speed-hungry sailors to the likes of ETNZ Skipper Dean Barker, in preparation for bigger multi-hulls. Top sailors work hard each year to experiment with new setups and designs, which is reflected in the tight, exciting racing on the water.
This highly competitive event has previously attracted over 100 international sailors to the fleet, and the 2014 World Championships are sure to be no different. Takapuna Boating Club’s beach front and park side location will provide superb viewing for the racing in the Hauraki Gulf.

2014 IACA World Champs and
New Zealand Nationals updated information, NOR & Registration here
The sailing waters off Takapuna have seen many yachting contests over the years and Takapuna Boating Club is proud to be hosting the 2014 A Class Cats.
The Takapuna Boating Club is well situated on a green reserve adjacent to the sandy beach, a 5 minute walk from the Spencer on Byron Hotel through the main shopping centre of Takapuna with its cafes, restaurants and wide range of shops to the beach and reserve where the boats will be stored throughout the event. The Club facilities are at your disposal throughout the events. The Organising Committee have been meeting regularly for the last two years so planning is well in hand. The Notice of Race for the Worlds is now available on this website, as will be Notice of Race for the NZ Nationals.
We are delighted to have the services of Kerry Ellis & Mark Greene to assist us in presenting this world-class event with activities both on and off the water for competitors, families and friends.
We look forward to having you come and compete in 2014. It will be exciting racing over the two events – New Zealand Nationals and then the World Championship.
Come to Takapuna and join the FUN.
I look forward to meeting you.
Evelyn Johnson,
Chair of the Organising Committee |
