- Nick Phillips’ Chaotic is the 2021 J/70 UK National Champion
- Doug Struth’s DSP is 2021 J/70 Corinthian UK National Champion
The 2021 J/70 UK National Championships, hosted by the Royal Yacht Squadron, came to a dramatic conclusion on Sunday 10 October. Nick Phillips’ Chaotic and Doug Struth’s DSP winning the Open and Corinthian titles respectively.
The Royal Thames YC Academy team, skippered by Bethan Mathews and helmed by Dom Davis, was third overall.
With high pressure dominating The Solent, racing was only possible on the final day of the three-day event. Four races were completed and with no discard available, every race was keenly contested from start to finish.
Consistency was the key to Chaotic’s overall victory. The team won the first race, but the real reason for success was consistency, placing in the top three in every race.
The seventh, and final round, of the J/70 UK Grand Slam Series will be held as part of the Hamble River Sailing Club’s One Design Championships 16-17 October.
The 2021 Grand Slam will decide who will win a berth for the 2022 J/70 World Championships, hosted by the Yacht Club de Monaco.
