Bertrand in Perth to Promote Sailing World Championships
Australian sailing icon John Bertrand was in Perth this month to lend his support to the Perth 2011 ISAF Sailing World Championships, which will take place in December next year.
As Ambassador to the Championships, Bertrand is proud to be associated with the biggest sailing Event to be staged on Australian shores, since the 1987 America’s Cup Defence.
“As was the case in 1987, Perth 2011 will again attract the world’s interest to Western Australia,” Bertrand said.
“Perth 2011 is a big and exciting Event. Over 1,400 competitors from more than 80 nations and tens of thousands of spectators will descend on Perth for the Sailing World Championships and live racing will be accessible to over a billion households and countless Internet users around the globe.”
Bertrand also expressed strong endorsement of Perth 2011’s popular Emerging Nations Programme (ENP).
Bertrand himself is still at the top of the sport, having been crowned 2010 Etchells Australian Champion just last month!
Perth 2011 is proud to have John Bertrand as its Ambassador for the next two years.
