The citizens of Haifa are proud to host the 420 class World Championships
Haifa is a unique city, blessed with a natural bay towards which it slopes from the heights of the Carmel Mountain to the long, sandy shores. Haifa is a city whose 270,000 citizens have created a solid foundation of tolerance and communication; a city that boasts a tradition of over 100 years of coexistence between members of all religions and congregations.
Haifa is not a city of slogans, but one in which reality is created.
A modern city that ceaselessly develops and evolves; a center of hi-tech industries, with a university and colleges that accommodate some 35,000 students, who conduct a youthful and colorful lifestyle in the city's many pubs, clubs and cafes.
The world championships, which will be held here in July 2010, will be an exceptional event. We will hold opening and closing ceremonies, receptions and Israeli folklore evenings, and free tours with guides to all the participants. We will arrange for special rates in hotels and at restaurants, will allow free entrance to the various sites, will supply routine transport from the competition site to the hotels and entertainment and shopping centers. The city will be decorated in your honor.
For us, hosting the Class 420 World Championship is a big challenge, and although we have already gained experience, we are preparing diligently to make the Class 420 World Championships an unforgettable experience. We assure you that you will not be disappointed. Come over, we are waiting.
