J/70 Monaco Winter Series Announcement

(Monte Carlo, Monaco)- The Yacht Club de Monaco is inviting all J/70 sailors from across Europe to join them for their Sportsboat Winter Series being held in Monaco.  While the rest of northern Europe may be fending off winter gales and sub-zero temperatures, the wonderfully warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea provide a winter retreat along the sunny south coast of the French, Monagesque and Italian Riviera’s.  Perhaps more importantly, instead of withdrawing into a cave up north and lighting fires to stay warm, you could be sailing off the gorgeous YC Monaco and getting some much needed practice for their famous Trophée Credit Suisse Primo Cup in February as well as the upcoming J/70 Europeans in October 2015.

The J/70 Winter Series schedule is the following:

• PART 1 :  24 - 26 October 2014
• PART 2 :  12 - 14 December 2014
• PART 3 :  16 - 18 January 2015
• PART 4 :  06 - 08 February 2015 (the Primo Cup Regatta)
• PART 5 :  06 - 08 March 2015

Note- the J/70 Worlds are in La Rochelle, France from July 6th to 11.  Then, the J/70 Europeans are from October 12th to 17th, 2015 back in Monaco!  In fact, the J/70 Class President at YC Monaco, Jacopo Carrain, commented, “We have the pleasure of inviting all J/70 sailing teams to participate in our Winter Series and, best of all, the J/70 teams may keep their boats at our YCM facilities “free of cost” all winter long- October to March!  We hope you can sail with us, please contact me for more details.”  You may speak with Carrain at ph# +37797979696 or correspond with his email- jcarrain@j70ca-monaco.com    For more J/70 Monaco Winter Series sailing information
