The J/22 class in Europe has exhibited an extraordinary perseverance to hang tough and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with sailing a fun boat that is easy to trailer around the continent.
By far, the most popular J/22 series is hosted by the Dutch J/22 class on the famous Brassermermeer Lake. Ten boats from France, Germany, and the Netherlands are participating in the 2018/ 2019 Winter Series.
In the first regatta, it was FRA 1444 (Brockerhoof, Michaux, Declercq) that are leading the series on a tie-breaker over the Dutch team of NED 1295 (Liselotte Verdoorn, Jan Dirk, Anneloes Rosemarijn). Remarkably, these two teams are dominating the top of the leaderboard with a combined six firsts, six seconds, and four thirds.
Third is another Dutch crew on NED 1223, led by woman helm Suzanne van Iterson, with crew of Frans, Suzanne, and Anne. They won the first race, but followed it with a 4-3-2-2-3-5-4 in eight races scored so far.
