(Breskens, The Netherlands)- The 2018 J/111 World Championship is being hosted in conjunction with the Breskens Sailing Weekend in the Netherlands. Racing will take place offshore, in the wide-open North Sea, along the fabled northern beaches of the Benelux seashore. Hosting the event are Watersportvereniging Breskens, Royal Yacht Club of Belgium, Koninklijke Roei & Zeilvereniging De Maas, Koninklijke Nederlandse Roei en Zeilvereniging Muiden, Koninklijke Antwerpse Watersportverenging SRNA and the Royal Netherlands Yachting Union (RNYU).A dozen J/111 crews are participating from five nations (Belgium, Great Britain, Germany, Netherlands, & Switzerland). Based on past J/111 Worlds, particularly the last edition in Europe when it was hosted by the Island Sailing Club in Cowes, England, Ladbroke’s betting parlour will likely handicap the following teams to be at the top of the leaderboard; a formidable contingent from the United Kingdom- Martin Dent’s JELVIS (2016 World’s winner), Tony Mack’s McFLY, Paul Griffiths’ JAGERBOMB, and Chris Jones/ Louise Makin’s JOURNEYMAKER II. Their top competitors from the Continent will be Paul van Driel’s SWEENY from the Netherlands, Sebastien de Liedekerke’s DJINN from Belgium, Norbert Burket’s TOP JOB from Germany, and Jorg Sigg’s LALLEKONIG from Switzerland.
