The Cascais International J/70 Class Association Summer Cup brought together 17 teams from seven countries for three days of close racing on one of sailing’s most demanding racecourses.
After nine races, North-powered teams swept the podium:
🥇 OceanPact, Flavio Andrade
🥈 Patakin, Luis Albert
🥉 Aretê, Bruno Bethlem
With the 2026 J/70 World Championship returning to Cascais this September, the Summer Cup offered an early look at the level of competition to come.
“We’ve had some very interesting conditions, closely fought races and some of the best crews in the world competing together,” said Andrade. “It has been excellent preparation for the World Championship.”
Congratulations to all three teams on a strong week in Cascais. Next stop, Worlds.
