FALMOUTH
“The start and finish of great ocean voyages”

Falmouth’s natural sheltered deep water harbour was the first stopping point for the great Clipper yachts and is the natural choice for the first of three J Class Regattas. The large bay offers wonderful sailing in minimal tide conditions.

There are superb spectator points at each headland, especially in the start area under Pendennis Castle.

SOLENT
“Probably the best known base for yachting in the world and the start of the America’s Cup”

The Solent was “home waters” of British J Class racing during the 1930s. Several races are planned in the strong tides and changing weather conditions.

The Hundred Guinea Cup Race is the one race that probably captures the true spirit of the J Class, testing the crew and navigational skills of each yacht.

The race is based on the 1851 course, clockwise around the Isle of Wight, over approximately 75 miles.


The JCA is supported in this event jointly by:
The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, Falmouth
The Royal Southampton Yacht Club, Southampton
