J/80 Worlds

Fleet to be accommodated in Falmouth next year

The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club in Falmouth has been chosen as the club to host the 2005 World Championship of the ISAF J/80 class.

The Championship series will be 10 races sailed in Falmouth bay. The Bay accommodates windward/leeward courses of up to 2½ mile beats laid typically within three miles of marina facilities where all boats will be berthed during the championships. Launch and recovery is likely to be at Falmouth Docks immediately opposite the marina.

The RCYC has a successful record of hosting major sailing events and has just successfully completed the 2004 Dragon Gold Cup. The J/80 is ideally suited to the sea conditions frequently found in Falmouth Bay.
