Fifty-two teams have already entered the Key Yachting J-Cup in association with B&G, hosted by the RORC in Cowes from 30 June to 2 July, with over 300 sailors taking part in what’s set to be Northern Europe’s largest meeting of J/Boats.

At least 12 examples of the range will be in action, including in the nationals for the J/70, J/111 and J/109 classes. Mixed J/Boats will race under the IRC Rating Rule divided into several classes.

“The Key Yachting J-Cup is a celebration of the J/Boats family and offers extremely good value for a truly enjoyable and memorable occasion,” said Key Yachting’s Wayne Palmer, who will also be racing his J/99 Jam — one of three J/99s in the regatta.

“The three-day regatta is a proper J/Boats get-together with sailors ranging from Olympic medallists to complete novices and everybody in between.

“With three national championships, the competition on the water will be at the highest level, but there is something for everybody at the J-Cup. We have families, veterans and youth teams racing.
