Sailing in the J/70

Available for over a year

The J/70 is one of the most competitive sailing classes in the world. A relatively new class, the J/70 is 22 feet long and is sailed in 25 countries, predominantly in the United States and Europe. In 2019 the world championships were held in the UK for the first time. In this podcast you’ll hear from the international class association executive director Chris Howell, the skipper of ‘Eat Sleep J Repeat’, the eventual world champions. Also the UK class captain and the lady helm JM7. And the principal race officer talks about putting and event like this on. Podcast produced and presented by Neil Sackley. email: h2o@bbc.co.uk
