The J-Class Trophy consists of a series of 12 or more races for J-Class super yachts. The Races for the J-Class Trophy vary in length between 5 to 20 NM. Races for the J-Class Trophy will be held each month. The monthly race for the J-Class Trophy will take place on the last Sunday of the month. Races may start on different times respective of the time zone of the race course.
Scoring for the J-Class Trophy will be by low points. The 5 worst of 12 results will be deducted. Boats that do not start in races are scored DNS, and are awarded the nr of participating boats in the event +1 points.
Participants can thus miss up to 5 races altogether and still be in contention for the trophy. It is encouraged to have boats sailed by crew when owner skippers are not available.
