Wireless electronics experts, Tacktick will continue their successful sponsorship of the J/80 fleet in 2011 and have been named the title sponsor for the J/80 UK National Championship which will take
place 7th-10th June 2011 at the Royal Dart Yacht Club in association with Baltic Wharf.
The J/80 is one of Europe’s fastest selling sportsboats with a fleet of over 900 boats around the
world. The enduring success of the boat is due to its inspirational design and the fun, fair racing
aimed at owner/drivers.
Tacktick’s range of award winning wireless, solar powered instruments are perfectly suited to the
J/80, offering rugged performance electronics with waterproof displays designed to give race winning
data. Tacktick’s range of electronics offer the most weight efficient package for performance sports
boat owners as well as being simple to fit and easy to use.
Ben Hodgson-Kerry, UK Sales Manager for Tacktick commented, ‘We are delighted to be continuing
our longstanding support of the J/80 UK Class Association by sponsoring the UK Nationals, in the
run up to the World Championship in 2012. The J/80 is an ideal ‘Tacktick’ boat requiring
sophisticated performance electronics with a proven track record for reliability and performance.”
