J/22 Worlds 2020 | 27.6.–03.07.2020
The J22 Worlds will be hosted again by the Point Yacht Club offshore in 2020.
A committee is hard at work putting the event on and making sure that it is another memorable regatta.
Just to whet your appetites as to how stunning sailing in winter off Durban can be, I have selected a small number of pics taken from the 2007 regatta off Durban. Enjoy!
