“The brand has always been inspired by the nautical universe, quite evidently because of its location in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and the maritime influence that stems from it. This partnership with J Class therefore seemed a foregone conclusion, almost natural.”
The partnership was made official at the St Barths Bucket four-day regatta in March and it is the first time in more than 80 years that J Class yachts has been invited to compete in Bermuda at the America’s Cup.
