The Landsail Tyres J-Cup kicks off on June 11 with over 50 examples of the J-Boat range competing on tight Solent courses over three days. A thrilling action is expected with the added attraction of three individual national championships up for grabs. Hosted by the Island Sailing Club, the 15th edition of the J-Cup will deliver one-design racing at its best, with a party atmosphere ashore in Cowes.
The largest fleet of J/70s assembled in the UK is expected to enjoy a thrilling encounter. With a whopping 800 J/70s sold in in the first three years, the fast planing sports boat has taken the sailing world by storm, high octane action is expected.
The ever popular J/109 fleet will be racing for the Lifedge J/109 National Championship. Racing in the strict one-design cruiser/racer class is always close with previous national champions being decided by the narrowest of margins.
The rapid expansion of the new J/88 fleet means they will enjoy their first National Championship sponsored by Fastnet Marine Insurance at the Landsail Tyres J-Cup and the J/97 National Championship will also be contested over the weekend.
