(Cowes, IOW, England)- The European J/111 circuit is shaping up to be an
exciting season for 111 sailors from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean
and from Italy to Ireland! There are events taking place on the
Mediterranean as well as in “classic” sailing ports along the North Sea
and the Channel, all leading up to the first J/111 World Championships
to take place in the famous waters of the Solent and hosted by the Royal
Yacht Squadron off Cowes, England from August 20th to 24th!
Teams
from Northern Europe as well as the Mediterranean can look forward to
early season warm-up regattas that include Vice Admirals Cup, North Sea
Regatta, Normandy Week and Giraglia Rolex Cup prior to the J/111
