Puerto Rico will play host to this year’s Caribbean Dinghy Championships.

The Club Nautico de San Juan will host the event, which will be taking place Oct. 16-18.

“CNSJ is honored and excited to host the 2015 CSA Caribbean Dinghy Championships,” said Jose Teixidor, director of the Club Nautico de San Juan. “The CNSJ re-launched its sailing program earlier this year and the Club is fully committed to developing youth and adult sailors through its Sailing Academy as well as promoting international regattas. The competitors are sure to have an amazing time sailing in San Juan Bay.”

The club is located about 10 minutes from San Juan airport.

“’I see the success of the bid as a direct result of the hard work the CSA Sailing Development Committee is putting into forming new associations across the region at the grass roots level,” said Peter Holmberg, president of the Caribbean Sailing Association. “This encourages more islands to become involved. We look forward to seeing a competitive and well managed event and for this to be the first of many new countries willing to play host to this important championship.”
