America's Cup - More images of J-Class racing off Bermuda

Ranger - J- Class Regatta - 35th America's Cup - Bermuda June 19, 2017 Richard Gladwell www.photosport.co.nz
Second gallery of images featuring the seven J-Class yachts racing in the largest fleet of the 120ft yachts yet assembled, which raced earlier this week off Bermuda.

Although most of the fleet are replicas constructed to one of the original J-Class designs, Valsheda is restored from the original which was laid up in southern England for many years.

Shamrock V was launched in 1930 and was the Challenger for the America's Cup in that year.

SVEA is the latest J-Class having only her second race in this regatta.
