(Hamble, England)- The J/70 UK Class Association is delighted to
announce that the Royal Southern Yacht Club in Hamble will host the J/70
UK National Championships. The event will take place from Saturday 29th
to Monday 31st of August; the last bank holiday weekend of the year.The Championships now anticipate near 30 teams to enter, an incredible number for a fleet that unbelievably is still less than three years old. With the J/70 being enormously easy for owners to transport, crews are also expected from the West Country and East Coast.
Many new additions to the fleet this year alone, racing against owners who have had their boats since the first hulls arrived in 2012 will make for a thrilling three days of racing. The current champion who will no doubt be back to defend his title is Ian Atkins’ Boats.com. The closest two teams to challenge him in 2014 will surely be ones to watch too; Simon Ling’s Team RAFBF Spitfire and Ian Wilson’s Gill Race Team both have some excellent regatta wins behind them.
