J/70 U.K. Northerns Announcement

J/70s sailing off United Kingdom on Solent (Loch Fyne, Scotland, United Kingdom)- The J/70 UK Class Association is pleased to announce the inaugural J/70 UK Northern Championship.  The regatta will take place as part of the Silvers Marine Scottish Series 2015, Scotland's biggest sailing event.  Traditionally held in the stunning location of Loch Fyne, the regatta is hosted by the Clyde Cruising Club over the Spring Bank Holiday from Friday, the 22nd of May to Monday the 25th of May.

The rapid expansion of the J/70 fleet across the U.K. means that they’re expecting a substantial number of entries for what will undoubtedly be some hugely fun and competitive racing. Competitors are excited that the championships will span four days, with 12 races planned (weather permitting, of course!). The fleet are treating the event as essential practice for British teams hoping to compete at the 2015 Worlds Championships, taking place in La Rochelle, France this coming July.   For more J/70 Northerns sailing information
