Bonaire is proud to host the 2019 Sunfish World Championships, Powered by Maclaren. The
conditions are perfect to host this event on this small picturesque Caribbean island. September
14th – 20th the top sailors from each country will come to Bonaire to battle it out to show who is
best. From the 21st – 25th the masters (several categories of 40 and beyond) and the Youth
(U19) will take to the waters to show their skills.
The Event
Maclaren will bring 72 brand new boats, sails and trollies to the island to level the playing field.
Everyone will sail with identical equipment, leaving only one variable, the talent of the sailor to
determine who is the fastest. The boats will launch from the beach at Plaza Resort, the host for
the event, which is a full service resort with multiple bars and restaurants, casino, dive and
watersports facilities. The competition will be in the bay directly in front for basically no transit
times to and from the course. There will be beautiful viewing areas to watch the competition
both at the resort and from along the shores of Bonaire. The sunfish will be available for sale
