To be sailed in Dun Laoghaire Harbour this summer, the inaugural J Cup Ireland has announced its main sponsors and published the Notice of Race document.
The Royal Irish Yacht Club will organise the Cup on the 26th and 27th of August, 2023.
Hosted by Key Yachting, the J-Cup Ireland's inaugural regatta is exclusively organised for racing yachts of the J/Boats brand.
This year all IRC-rated J Boat models, J109, J80 and J24, are invited to compete.
The J Cup Ireland will allow all J Boats to race in Dublin Bay waters, get together to discuss all things J and enjoy onshore entertainment.
Numbers for the event are expected to be high, including the J/109 and J/80 Nationals and the J/24 Eastern Championships.
Key Yachting and the Royal Irish Yacht Club are delighted to announce the main sponsors for the event, Quantum Sails and Viking Marine.
Thank you to sponsors supporting the first Irish J Cup regatta, including Ian O'Meara of Dun Laoghaire-based Viking Marine.
"Key Yachting is delighted to be organising the first Irish J Cup in Dublin waters with the fantastic team at the Royal Irish Yacht Club and support from our main sponsors, Quantum Sails and Viking Marine. We look forward to seeing lots of J Boats in Irish water together." – Wayne Palmer, Owner and Director at Key Yachting.
