On Top Of The J/70 Worlds
North Sails Power Past The Competition

Not one but two North-powered teams were named World Champions at the J/70 Darwin Escapes World Championship in Torquay. Paul Ward’s Eat, Sleep, J, Repeat collected the overall win while Marshall King and the Soak Racing team found champion status success in the Corinthian Division. And to make this victory extra sweet, all of the top ten finishers had North Sails onboard.

The core team on Eat, Sleep, J, Repeat has been together all season, and this Worlds win caps a 2019 victory list that includes Cowes Week, J-Cup, and the J/70 UK Nationals. “Our mindset heading into this event was really good,” says tactician Charlie Cumbley. “We were saying if we finished top 10 we'd be really pleased. It's obviously gone way better than expected!”
