J/70 North American Championship in Texas © Christopher Howell
Sailing has never been as exciting in Valle de Bravo as it is with the amazing J/70's. J/70 fever hit the lake in 2014, and only a couple of years later the fleet was already 29 strong. Hosting the 2018 North American Championship will definitely boost local enthusiasm, and having amongst the best J/70 sailors on the continent in our home waters as our distinguished guests will make it the hottest ticket yet.
We are very eager to put together "J/70 Valle Sailing Week 2018". A week to devote to sailing and friendship. A week to remember for many years to come. A grown up "Sailing Disney trip" if you will. The regatta is being hosted by Club de Vela La Peña and the J/70 Mexican Class Association from May 12th to 19th, 2018 on their gorgeous mountain lake.
The venue and its warm collaborators make the Valle sailing experience entirely pleasant. No early wake up calls, hour-long motor trips to the course, heavy foul weather gear and cold water. Only sailing under the sunny Mexican sky and being greeted with cold margaritas at the dock as soon racing is over and your boat is put away for you. Hollywood sailing, Mexican style.
The Race Management will be top level. With the formidable Mark Foster from Corpus Christi, Texas as the regatta PRO and the legendary Willii Gohl as Chief Judge, nothing can go wrong!
So, brace yourselves and stay tuned, for we have all the ingredients for an unforgettable Sailing Festival. All we are missing is you, and our daily breeze, of course! Call us now for local charter boats!
