A record turnout of 75 J/Boats are racing at J-Cup 2008 this weekend on the Solent in the UK. The featured class is a huge 32 boat J/109 fleet racing for the 2008 J/109 UK National Championship. In addition one-design ‘class’ racing is taking place for J/105s and J/80s and there are two IRC classes where J/133s, J/122s, J/92S' & J/100s will enjoy some mixed fleet fun.All in all, J-Cup 2008 looks ready to set the Solent on fire and for sure, everywhere you look this weekend there will be a J Boat on the horizon. Summing up the real spirit of the J-Cup, and indeed, all racing in the J Family, Bruce Jubb of J/109 Johnny Blue II offered ‘It’s all about having fun and enjoying the regatta’. Well said Mr Jubb. Let’s drink to that...
Great events like these simply wouldn’t happen without generous sponsor support and principal sponsors of J-Cup 2008: B&G, North Sails and Dubarry of Ireland all deserve our thanks and support... results online.
