J/80 North American Class Association

Historic Fort Adams in Newport, RI overlooks Newport harbor (left) and the Atlantic Ocean (upper) while also housing the state of Rhode Islands public sailing operation - Sail Newport

Sail Newport the organizing authority for the 2022 Worlds has opened registration for the event. 

Go to Sail Newport's website for a copy of the NOR and a link to registration. You can also go directly to yachtscoring to register.

The facilities at Sail Newport are awesome.  The huge parking lot is great for pre-event boat/trailer storage. The lot also has a fixed gin pole for rigging. Once the boats are measured, dock space for each boat is included in the all inclusive registration package. 

In an effort to clean up and make clarifications on the class rules, the following have been proposed for vote in the next international annual meeting.
