First J/70 Midwinters @ Key West!

J/70 sailing downwind (Key West, FL)- It’s official!  The first J/70 Midwinters will be taking place at Quantum Key West 2013 Race Week this coming January.  In support of the worldwide launch of this exciting new class, Premiere-Racing will provide a stand-alone J/70 racing circle just west of Sunset Key (only a 20 minute sail from the Truman Annex launch ramp).

A special entry fee of $700 includes ramp-launching and trailer storage at the Truman Annex for the week, which will be a big help for those looking to “do Key West” on a budget. For dealers/owners looking to ship their new boats directly to Key West from Rhode Island, there will be an opportunity to share trucking expense as part of a multi-boat shipment.  Please let us know if you are interested and we’ll circulate information as soon as it’s available. Once the boats are in Key West, there will also be delivery and storage services available for the rest of the J/70 circuit events following Key West-- St. Pete NOOD Regatta in February, Bacardi Sailing Week in March, Charleston Race Week in April, and Annapolis NOOD Regatta in May.  For more Quantum Key West Race Week sailing information
