Trysail has offered to host the J/80 North Americans. A package deal
has been arranged by the J/80 Class Association and the Storm Trysail
Club, which includes launching and hauling, trailer and vehicle storage,
a mooring in Great Salt Pond, and all the racing and parties you can
handle in one week, for less than $1,000!There is no event like Block Island Race Week, and there is no boat like the J/80! Stable and fast on and off the breeze, easy to sail in any condition, and with an established, tried and true set of Class Rules, the J/80 continues to be the boat many love to sail. Combined with the unmatched Race Management of the Storm Trysail Club, this year’s J/80 North Americans are not to be missed!!

Next, in anticipation of an outstanding week of racing at BIRW, the New York Yacht Club has invited the J/80 Class to participate in the New York Yacht Club Annual Regatta. This prestigious event, taking place June 14-16, is on the Bucket List for many sailors worldwide. J/80 sailors can bring their boats to Sail Newport for the Annual Regatta and enjoy the hospitality and experience of the NYYC Race Committee, while getting tuned up for the North American’s at Block! Storage for boats and vehicles has been arranged so there is no need to worry about dropping your rig and moving your boat from place to place. This also allows teams a great opportunity to take on a partner and give someone else a chance to steer the boat for the podium, and spread out the cost of transportation.
