J-class Regatta

18.07.2012 - 21.07.2012

"The 1930's era saw the birth of the Js - one of the greatest sailing classes ever created"

Only 10 yachts were built during this time and there were never more than four racing at one time. Only three of the originals survived the Second World War - Velsheda, Endeavour and Shamrock V. These were left to rot in mud until being renovated and rebuilt. Since the formation of the J Class Association, there are now replica yachts being built, creating a fleet of the finest racing yachts ever seen.

The Royal Southampton Yacht Club will be hosting the Solent Regatta, a three day race programme showcasing the spectacular J class yachts. On the fourth day, the yachts will participate in the Hundred Guinea Cup Race, sailing clockwise around the Isle of Wight, the original course of the 1851 Hundred Guinea Cup, now known as the America's Cup.

The event will be the very first time more than four of the spectacular classic yachts will race together and promises to be one of the best events of the 2012 season.

Merchant Yachting are offering you the opportunity to see these fantastic yachts up close as they race around the Solent. Full hospitality packages include a day on one of our yachts, led by a professionally trained skipper, and a gourmet picnic hamper on board giving you ample opportunity for watching the racing and taking some great photographs.
