Laser Senior World Championship
This event will run from August 17th to 26th. This is the World championships for the Laser class, and is the premier event on the class calendar for 2009. Competitors are the best of the best, and must qualify in advance to achieve one of the potential 160 available berths. The competition will see 3 days of preparation and 7 intensive days of racing, a grueling test for any athlete.
Laser Masters World Championship
This event will run from August 27th to September 5th, and will see up to 400 sailors competing. All competitors must be at least 35 years of age, with many far surpassing that. With an abundance of experience on the race course, many sailors have been actively competing in Laser events for decades, and can still thoroughly thrash sailors a fraction of their age. In addition to highly competitive racing, these sailors also enjoy a hearty social component and are not afraid to have as much fun off the water as that have on. This event has 3 days of preparation, 6 days of racing, and one resting day.

Ships will arrive in Halifax on Thursday, July 16 and following the magnificent Parade of Sail in Halifax on Monday, July 20, designated ships will head north to Cape Breton, making stops in Port Hawkesbury, Louisbourg and Sydney while others will head to the mainland ports including Lunenburg, Shelburne and Pictou.
