Tideway Wealth Management has agreed to sponsor the UK J/70 Nationals to be held in Weymouth over the August Bank Holiday.
Being scheduled at the same venue as the J/70 European Championships to be held just a week later and featuring 70 teams from 19 different countries, it is expected that many teams will use the UK Nationals as their tune up event.
The event is a 3 day format of up to 9 races, with over 40 teams expected to enter.
James Baxter, Head of Private Clients at Tideway Wealth Management said: "We're delighted to be sponsoring this event and supporting the J/70 class in the UK. Many of our clients are from the sailing and yacht racing community and its nice to be able to give something back to the sport."
Phil Taylor, Sailing Secretary UK J/70 Class Association, said "We're looking forward to welcoming the UK fleet to Weymouth. We're expecting strong competition with several former champions returning to fight it out for the UK title."
