March 25th, 2026

J Cup Europe organisation is pleased to announce its partnership with B&G® for the 2026 edition, which will take place from 18 to 20 June in Cherbourg. A global reference in sailing navigation electronics, the brand will support this event bringing together J/Boats and their crews from across Europe.
For 70 years, B&G® has been driven by the same forces that define the J Cup: passion for sailing and the pursuit of performance. By developing cutting-edge electronic instruments for both cruising sailors and competitive racers, B&G®helps crews push their limits on the water. Its presence alongside the J Cup Europe is therefore a natural fit—an event where precision and tactics make the difference on the water.
Throughout the event, Gauthier Figeac, specialist at B&G®, will be present on the docks to meet with crews and assist them in optimizing their onboard electronic systems. Participants will benefit from personalized technical advice to fine-tune their instrument settings.
J Cup Europe is delighted to count on the expertise and support of B&G® to help deliver a high-quality event and contribute to the sporting success of its participants.
