Saturday October 4 2003, 49 catamarans left the harbors of Rotterdam and Felixstowe via ship bound for Aruba where 53 teams will compete November 9 –14, 2003. Attracting twenty-seven sailors from the Netherlands, nineteen from England, two from Belgium, one from Austria and four from Aruba, the fleet tops last year’s by twelve. Organizers credit this year’s overwhelming response to last year’s success, positive promotions and good television coverage.
