SAIL First J/80 Cup Announcement!

Sail First J/80 Cup- Cyprus (Limassol, Cyprus)- The Sail First Club has been involved in the sailing scene in Cyprus since 2012 when they imported ten J/80 One-Design Racing boats.  Since then, the J/80 fleet has become a normal sight on the waters off Paphos, Latchi and Limassol as they compete for everyone to see.

The Sail First club invites you to participate in their SAIL FIRST J/80 CUP that will take place from September 19th to 24th on the beautiful island of Cyprus!

J/80 Sail First J/80 CUPYou can join the regatta as an individual or as an entire crew of five people!  Before the regatta, there is a drawing for the individual crews and also a drawing for the individual boats before going out to sail the event.

After the first three days of racing, the fleet will be split into a Gold Group and a Silver Group.  Twelve races are planned for each group on windward-leeward courses of about 4nm in length (double W/L).  Furthermore, depending on weather conditions, a fun offshore random-leg race of 10-15nm will be held around islands, rocks and government markers.

While the sailing should be beautiful and lots of fun, the on-shore social and entertainment schedule should be enjoyable and exciting- surrounded by the sea, Cyprus is famous for its shore-side dining and simply amazing sea food!   For more SAIL FIRST J/80 CUP sailing information Add to Flipboard Magazine.
