The perfect plan: Le Renard wins Rolex Farr 40 World Championship 2002

PARADISE ISLAND, BAHAMAS-(18-11-2002) Rolex Farr 40 World Championship 2002

PARADISE ISLAND, BAHAMAS - In the end, it was all about the man and his boat rather than the place, but when the Farr 40 Class Association first decided to hold its Rolex-sponsored 2002 World Championship at Atlantis, it turned more than a few heads. The Bahamas resort, located on the aptly named Paradise Island, is a mind-boggling water theme playground that recreates the Lost City of Atlantis and provides the world's largest marine habitat, second only to Mother Nature, for more than 50,000 marine animals living in 34 acres of waterscape. The 25 Farr 40s that competed in the event were efficiently accommodated and welcomed by The Marina at Atlantis, and soon after they arrived for the MeesPierson Bahamian National Championship that preceded the Worlds, the highly pedigreed sailboats looked at home among the 200-foot megayachts surrounding them.
