(Cascais Portugal)– The International J/70 Class continues to grow and evolve, debuting the Corinthian European Championship this year in Cascais, Portugal. Amateur racing in the J/70 is in high demand, evidenced by the fifty-four teams hosted by Club Naval de Cascais in this year’s event from seventeen nations: AUS, BRA, CHN, ESP, EST, FIN, FRA, GBR, GER, HUN, ITA, MEX, NED, POR, SWE, TUR, and USA.

Conditions were rocking and rolling for the entire weekend in Cascais Bay with a breeze often in the upper teens, plus huge swells, to challenge teams and equipment. In the end, it was a trio of dominating performances from the Spanish teams to swept the podium: Javier Padron’s HSN SAILING TEAM in first, Món Canellas Salas’s HANG TEN secured the silver, and Alejandro Perez Garcia-Duran’s BODEGA CAN MARLES took third place.  Read more here.

(Roadtown, Tortola, British Virgin Islands)- It was a wild & woolly several days of racing for this year’s BVI Spring Regatta hosted by the Royal BVI Yacht Club. Reveling in the rough and tumble sailing conditions that saw mid-teens breezes all three days, gusting to 25+ kts at times, were several J/Crews. Here is how it all went down.

Day One
Mother Nature threw out another wild day on the water on Mount Gay Rum Race Day, day 1 of racing in the BVI Spring Regatta. Gusts to 30 knots and the occasional squall blasting through the three courses running eleven divisions made for lively racing.  Read more here.

(Charleston, SC)- Over the course of nearly three decades, Charleston Race Week has developed a proven reputation that brings sailors back year after year. While the location is an integral piece of the puzzle, well-run races in a unique venue as winter fades doesn’t hurt.

The 29th edition will be held April 10-13 with entries spanning 18 classes across six courses. Charleston Harbor, with its tricky currents, has a well-earned reputation as a challenging race course.

A robust turnout in several one-design classes has 29 boats in J/70, 16 in J/105, 14 in J/24, and 10 in J/22. Meanwhile, there will be offshore racing for the ORC A and B classes and offshore pursuit racing in three divisions (non-Spinnaker, A, and B). Also, a PHRF inshore fleet features five boats that call Charleston their home port.   Read more here.
