“A fleet J/111’s planing across the Solent at 20kts is an awesome sight and one that we saw frequently at the 2016 World Championships in Cowes. We are looking forward to the same excitement for our 2018 season with the Worlds back in Europe again. While it is spectacular for spectators, it is much more fun when you are on board and you do tend to see J/111 crews smiling a lot,” commented J/111 Class Association President, Chris Jones.
