CFP Green Buildings makes sailing more accessible with special fund for the 2025 J/80 World Championship

As the proud main sponsor of the J/80 World Championship in Nieuwpoort, Belgium, CFP Green Buildings is committed to making this beautiful and sustainable sport more accessible to everyone. In addition to supporting the event itself, we are introducing a special fund, giving youth teams (three crew members under 25 years old) from around the world the opportunity to participate in the J/80 World Championship.

Sailing for everyone: From France to India

“With this fund, we aim to provide equal opportunities for teams from various countries to join the championship: from France and Spain to India, the US, and Denmark,” says Bram Adema, CEO of CFP Green Buildings and an avid sailor. “We understand that travel costs can be a barrier and hope this initiative will enhance access to the championship while strengthening the international J/80 community.”

Practical information about the fund

• Application period: Opens in February 2025 via our official J/80 World Championship website - RACING.

Sustainability and accessibility go hand in hand

At CFP, we believe in the power of sport to connect people and promote sustainability. By providing this fund, we aim to contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable sailing event.

“Sailing pushes boundaries, just like sustainability. Through this fund, we want to give teams from across the world a fair chance to participate in the championship, demonstrating that sailing is not just a competition but also a powerful way to bring people and communities together,” Bram explains.

We look forward to welcoming teams from all over the world to Nieuwpoort in 2025 and creating an unforgettable championship together!
