This weekend saw 7 J/109s enter for one of the most popular events in the calendar, the Taittinger Regatta, hosted by the Royal Solent Yacht Club in Yarmouth.

The 2019 Landsail Tyres J-Cup 2019 was hosted by the Royal Southern Yacht Club on the Hamble River between 18th and 21st July.  The club put on a spectacular event which was blessed with solid breezes and sufficient blue sky and sun. Jukebox took the win by a comfortable margin after 3 days of tight racing.

This weekend RORC hosted the Vice Admirals Cup in Cowes. The J/109 fleet had their own one design class and six of the top solent boats competed in unexpectedly spectacular conditions. It was a great weekend – it’s a long report…

Storm Hannah put pay to Saturdays racing in the Spring Championships. The Friday evening decision by the race committee was received by many as they began their preparations for the weekend in the pub. The sudden removal of the need to make an early start triggered a reaction that left many using the unexpected lay day to nurse their hangovers. 

Wow – what a weekend… The first half of the two headed Warsash Spring Championships delivered spectacular sailing in cold easterly winds under clear blue skies.
