Each year, we organize the Flanders Trophy with the support of two French clubs from Dunkirk (YCMN and Les Dauphins) and two clubs from Nieuwpoort (VYN and KYCN).
The goal is to bring together the French and Belgian fleets during well organized races over a period of 4 fixed weekends. 

A yearly recurring event for our class is the Open Belgian Championship where we try to identify the quickest Belgian J/80 team of the moment.

Two Nieuwpoort-based clubs organise their own recreational race circuit intended for sporty, and less sporty boats.  The KYCN organises the H-Cup races and the VYN organises the Interponton races.
