The tradition all started with the J/24 Midwinters in 1978, a week of sailing after the traditional "SORC feeder-race" known as the Lauderdale-Key West Race. It's the 25th anniversary of the event, it has Quantum Sails as a title sponsor, and J sailors will again help create what has become a "de facto" J/Fest every winter in January down in the sunny, warm, near tropical trade-winds that are typical in the lower Keys at this time of year. (Key West, FL)- America's premiere midwinter big-boat regatta, Key West Race Week sailing January 16-20, 2012, has much to celebrate. Better yet? Success at a world-class level has been achieved by a cadre of corinthian/ amateur sailors having a great time at what they love to do best- sailing with friends and family, having fun, and winning a pickle dish or two for the trophy shelf. Nearly a year after it's launch in 2010, over 40 J/111s are now sailing and the "winners list" reads like a "who's who" of events worldwide, quite a remarkable start for any boat. It's perhaps the most evolutionary/ revolutionary J designed to date- simplicity, speed and minimalism, comfort and control in a uniquely thrilling package. Be sure to visit the J-booth at Annapolis to see this revolutionary J cruiser.Īlso featured at the show will be the new J/111 speedster, the boat that has been taking the offshore world by storm. And, when you need to dial-up some upwind performance, the 8' draft with board down assures you of sparkling VMG's upwind, a near impossibility with competitive shoal-draft cruisers. At only 4.0 feet with board up, the horizon is nearly your only limit for cruising grounds- in other words, the ENTIRE Bahamas Banks are your cruising ground, not just a few corners of a few million square miles. The first J cruiser to combine stand-up headroom with legendary J-performance in a 35 footer that can wander across the shallows of the world's best cruising grounds drawing less than the original J/24! Now that's shallow. This one will sell itself, so pick it up.(Annapolis, MD)- With its successful introduction this past winter, the J/108 shoal-performance cruising yacht has far surpassed the expectations of its lucky owners. Easily their best release as seen by critics and fans. A re-release of the band's third full length album, plus an additional 8 pages have been added to the booklet including unreleased photos of the band's seven year career.
