2016 J70 Nationals, Royal Western Yacht Club, 1 Sep 2016 - 4 Sep 2016

The J/70 UK Class Association is delighted that their 2016 Nationals will be hosted by the Royal Western Yacht Club in Plymouth, a popular venue amongst J Boats sailors. The commodore flag officers and members are very enthusiastic about welcoming our visiting J/70 sailors to our beautiful sailing waters in the south west of England

Racing will take place from Friday 2nd September to Sunday 4th September with a total of 11 races planned for the Championship. As long as weather conditions are suitable, sailing will be outside (south) of the Plymouth breakwater which is only a short sail from the RWYC and marina base.

We encourage all participants to make use of the marina facilities at Queen Anne’s Battery as the host Royal Western Yacht Club is adjacent to the marina.

The J/70 is the fastest selling sportsboat ever, with 900+ hulls built in the first three years since her launch and 65 boats sailing in UK waters. She is a fast, stable, and easy to own boat, suitable for friends and family.
Entry for the J/70 UK Nationals is open to all members of the J/70 UK Class Association.  Formed in 2013, the aim of the Class is to promote the J/70 in the UK and provide support to boat owners and crew and also to organise one design racing and social events.
