J/70 numbers in Australia growing

Published Fri 11 Aug 2023

The Australian fleet of J/70's is growing.  In September Sandringham Yacht Club is expecting to take delivery of  the first four of their six J/70's that have been ordered to support the club's Academy programs and youth development.   Two private J/70's will also arrive at the Club. This will take the SYC fleet to ten on their hardstand.  The additional two SYS Club boats will arrive in 2024.

The plan is to set the boats up and have them ready for racing October.  The initial focus will be the three Victoria regattas before Xmas in the lead up to the January events in Sydney.

  • 21/22 October - Sail Sandy
  • 17/18/19 November - Victorian State Championships @ Blairegowrie
  • 25/26 November - Sandringham Yacht Club Regatta
