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. 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.
