(Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, England)- For those J/105 sailors in Europe
looking forward to participate in a fun, new EuroCup Series, it looks
like there are over a dozen boats confirmed already! It represents a
wonderful opportunity for J/105 class racing the likes of which have not
been seen in the UK and Western Europe in quite some time. The
preliminary details are as follows:1. Round the Island Race- 30th June 2012- with registration direct to Island Sailing Club – scoring will be based on IRC handicaps for this sole race and incorporated into the overall J/105 EuroCup results. Make sure to have reservations at Cowes Yacht Haven- we hope to raft up all the J/105s together!
2. EuroCup Weekend- 7th July- racing organised by the Royal Solent Yacht Club at Yarmouth – all boats to level rate with the exception of boats from Europe who will use their IRC handicaps to save buying new sails for a single event. The program is for registration completing on Friday, 6th July and to have at least 5 or more races (weather dependent) on Saturday and Sunday with prize-giving immediately after the conclusion of racing.
We look forward to seeing all J/105 sailors from anywhere to join us! If you have any interest, please don't hesitate to contact us- email- sailing@royalsolent.org or contact Becci Eplett (becci@keyyachting.com) at J/UK Key Yachting Group in Southampton, England.
