Blue Project, a racing sailboat rental specialist, is providing a fleet of nine J80s for the event, all identical and all equipped with the same set of North Sails sails. For those who have never tried it, the J80 is the most exciting of J Boats’ one-designs, featuring a telescoping bowsprit, asymmetrical spi, and a large cockpit relative to the size of the boat. In short, it is an extremely fun and high-performance small yacht. Try it to believe it!
The class, which boasts large numbers and a large audience of aficionados abroad, is also growing in Italy.
