J Class Regatta Falmouth. This will be a superb five day J Class Regatta for Falmouth. The J Class are very much looking forward to returning to race in this wonderful harbour.
This is a superb coup for Falmouth to welcome once again, some of the greatest yachts ever to sail in UK waters.
The J Class has its roots in the oldest sporting race in the world, The America’s Cup. This international event was born from an annual race around the Isle of Wight, hosted by the Royal Yacht Squadron and called the ‘100 Guinea Cup’.
Looking to the present day, the J Class Association (JCA) was founded in 2000 to protect the interests of the Class, present and future. To keep the J-Class fleet and races alive and to encourage new build yachts to enter the field, new Class rules were established for the construction of replica rebuilds from original plans.
