𝗝/𝗕𝗼𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵? 👀

A strong J/Boats line-up this year too, with everything from J/24s to a J/120, plus a brilliant 14 boat J/109 fleet - more than 30 J’s on the entry lists in total.

We’ll be keeping a particularly close eye on Stormcloud, the new J/40, racing in IRC0. She was only launched a month ago, so Dartmouth will be another great opportunity to see what the latest J design can do on the racecourse.

Good luck to all the J crews racing this week we’ll be watching the results! 👀
