UK Qualifying System for the 2019 J70 World Championship
The International J/70 Class Association (IJ70CA) has established the criteria for World Championship qualification. Based on the criteria set forth by the IJ70CA, there will be 20 available berths for UK competitors at the 2019 World Championship to be held at Royal Torbay Yacht Club. The UK Qualifying Berths will be allocated by the UK & Ireland J70 Class Association (J70UKICA).
The qualifying berths are for boat owners who are J/70 Class members in good standing and whose boats are in full compliance with the Class Rules. If an owner has someone other than him/herself drive the boat for a qualifying event, it is that combination of owner/driver who must compete in the Worlds.
If an owner/driver qualifies as a Corinthian Team, they shall compete in the World Championship as a Corinthian Team.
As part of the qualifying process the IJ70CA has also established perpetual berths for winners of past events. For the UK this includes one boat owner, Simon Ling, Corinthian World Champion in 2015.
UK Qualifying Berths
The UK Qualifying Berths will be allocated by the J70UKICA as follows:
- 10 Berths to Open Event Teams. 10 berths to Corinthian Teams
- 20 Berths will be allocated in 2018. A limited number of Berths may be available in 2019
- The 2018 Grand Slam Series Events will be the Qualifying Events for 2018
