Get out your atlas and check to see how big Lake Geneva is, it may be done end for end in a day by the super cats ( about 30 odd feet with 4 crew and Genoas that came back beyond the rear of the boat ) but I think you would be easily be impressed by its size. Spain was picked on a purely commercial basis ie who would pay the most for the privilidge of hosting the event. Mind you it is a nice site and one of the prettier areas of the Spanish costas which have been so dreadfully spoilt by all the development.
