Maurice "Prof" O'Connell from North Sails Ireland said, "North Sails have worked closely with J-Boats, going all the way back to the launch of the J24 in 1975. Our 3Di upwind sails and "V-Series" downwind sails are proving to be a fantastic investment for J109 sailors and are more durable and faster than ever. We look forward to supporting the class at this year's Nationals and East Coasts".
Speaking at the announcement, Irish J109 Class Captain Andrew Craig said, "the Irish J109 class are delighted to continue our partnership with North Sails. Last year's "post-match" de-brief by Prof and Nigel Young was both informative and entertaining and the North goodies were very much appreciated by all competitors."
