“We just bought our new J-70 and put it in the water today! It didn’t matter to us that there was still snow in the mountains and many people were skiing. We are the first J/70 in Austria and we sail on Lake Constance (sandwiched between Switzerland, Germany and Austria) and all over Europe. The name of our new boat is "REGI". We are looking forward already to sail in the J/70 European Championship at YC Monaco in Monte Carlo during the month of October! We hope you enjoy our photos! Best regards, Max”
