Little America’s Cup
Newport, Rhode Island, United States of America 41º30’86″N 71º20’51″W
The International C Class Catamaran Championships (IC4) hosted at New York Yacht Club in Newport, RI from August 22-28, 2010. The IC4 is the successor to the Little America’s Cup as the championship event for the C class catamarans.
Racing begins with an up-to-12 race series of fleet racing to determine the seeding for the match racing. The top two seeds will have a first to five point match race series to determine the winner of the International C Class Catamaran Championship [note that unlike the AC, the Defender does not get an automatic place in the finals]. The course is a 6 mile windward-leeward, with one mile legs and up to four races each day. The course area will be weather dependent, but either north of the Newport Bridge or off Beavertail. Boats will launch off the beach at Harbour Court and store their wing sails in a duo-purpose hospitality tent.
