The small cabin below deck is a valuable addition, offering protection from the elements, a place to rest, and privacy—key for enjoying a full day on the water with the crew.
**J/70 International Class Association:**
The J/70 Class Association is a vibrant, owner-driven organization that manages an active sailing calendar across regions, continents, and the world. Recognized by World Sailing as an international class, the association hosts annual championships in Europe, North America, South America, as well as World Championships, with special categories for Open, Corinthian, Women, and Youth champions.
Mandatory for racing, the J/70 class rules require a 2.5 hp outboard engine (either gas or electric), along with an anchor and safety gear, allowing for self-sufficiency on the water and ensuring that races can start and finish smoothly without the need for towing.
