(The Hague, The Netherlands)- This coming weekend marks the start, and
continuation, of several prominent sailing leagues across Europe and
Russia. For those of you who love the idea of sailing in evenly-matched
one-design boats, it’s the best type of sailing you can experience
anywhere in the world. Eighteen sailing clubs show up to rotate into
six J/70s with identical tuning and sails. You only have to show up
with a team of four people and battle with brains and boat-handling with
other top sailors in your league. Youth, women and men sailors
comprise the teams and it is an amazingly “social” event, with teams
commiserating and chatting about their experiences on-shore while they
wait to get back into the boats again in yet another rotation. For armchair sailors, be sure to fire-up your web browsers and following in real-time these sailing events with real-time “live” trackers and systems provided by SAP Sailing Analytics (http://www.sapsailing.com). Here is the current schedule for this weekend’s sailing leagues from May 20th to 22nd:
- Netherlands J/70 Sailing League- Roermond, Netherlands
- Norway J/70 Sailing League- Oslo, Norway
- Russia J/70 Sailing League- Moscow, Russia
