J/70s World Sailing Show Video
(London, England)- The World Sailing Show-
is a highlights video produced by the “World Sailing” organization in
London, England. The November highlights reel talks about the radical
new America’s Cup class design. Then, they discuss why winning an
Olympic medal doesn’t get you a head start, especially if you’re
embarking on a 7,000nm race offshore (however, having one-design
experience in strong one-design classes like J/24s, J/80s and J/70s
does). Finally, they have a nice segment about the massive turnout
for the AUDI J/70 World Championship in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, Italy
hosted by YC Costa Smeralda. The event started with controversy
and ended with spectacular racing in the biggest one-design sportsboat
fleet ever seen in history. Watch this J/70 Worlds segment at 09:38 in the World Sailing video
