The 2009 World Championships will be held in Aruba! Whoohoo! The organisation of the Heineken Aruba Regatta will organise this event. From their site:

A small island in the Southern Caribbean, just fifteen 15 miles off the coast of Venezuala. Aruba is 19.6 miles long and six miles across at its widest point. Aruba’s unique topography of world-renowd sugar white beach fringing the calm water of the south and west coast; a craggy windwhipped northeast coast hammered by rough seas; and an interior of desert landscape punctuated by interesting rock formations and a few mountains.

Take a look at the Heineken Aruba Regatta website for a whole lot of pictures!
