The Copa de Naciones Vela Panamericana is organized by the Mexican Sailing Federation and hosted by Vallarta Yacht Club in conjunction with Paradise Village Marina and Resort.  

This is the preparatory event for the Pan American Games in October, 2011 and for many classes will serve as eliminatory for the 2011 Games.

Both international events will be held in beautiful Riviera Nayarit on Banderas Bay,  an unparalleled  venue for competitive sailing on the Pacific coast  of Mexico.  This regatta will allow competitors to become familiar with the waters of Banderas Bay, where winds typically range from 12 - 20 knots during the afternoon to provide near perfect sailing conditions.  Sanctioned by PASAF, we welcome and encourage participation of Olympic class fleets.
