According to designer Alan Johnstone, the brief for the new 36ft 6in J/111 one-design was for a boat that he and the rest of the J/Boats crew would want to sail-and it shows. During a recent daysail off Newport, Rhode Island, hull #1 reveled in picture perfect sailing conditions, with winds out of the east in the mid to high teens. Sailing to windward, the boat was balanced and easy to drive through the moderate swells. Off the wind, the boat lit up under a massive, but easy to handle A-sail. Narrow beam and a deep, high-aspect rudder make the boat easy to control, even when it's on its ear. A bulb keel drawing 7ft 2in provides the righting moment to control the 751ft2 of working sail and 1,410-ft2 spinnaker. Tacking, even in the chop off Newport Neck, was effortless, with precision helm control throughout and never a doubt about making it onto the other tack. In the puffs, the boat accelerated like flicking a switch. This is a boat that looks impressive just sitting at the dock. The stem is plumb, so much so that in profile it almost looks as though there is a hint of tumblehome. The stern is also nearly vertical, with minimal overhang, in the interest of maximizing sailing length.

****"Obligatory girl" is a parody on many other sailing related youtube channels. It is fully intended as a joke and not to diminish women in the sport of sailing.**** In the future we would love to actually get a women's perspective on some of these boats... so if you know the perfect co-host leave us a comment. Pendragon IV was so successful, that she was used as the basis for the then new TP52 Rule. She continues to race successfully in Coastal and offshore races including the Transpac.

Boat Name: Chimaera Length: 46 ft. 9 3/8 in. Beam: 10 ft. 5 in. Draft: 6 ft. 9 in. Year Built: 1967. Chimaera is a sloop rig that was built for Frederick Leibhardt, specifically to outrace other San Diego boats like Sally. "We built it here in Driscoll Boat Works in San Diego," said John Driscoll, the boat's owner. "The man that had built it was an architect, but my dad, Gerry Driscoll, knew how to make the boat look right so he did the design and sent it back to Sparkman and Stephens, who added on to it from there." "I actually worked on it myself as a kid, building it I didn't do much, maybe handed a few screws to the carpenter," John Driscroll added. "I remember being on the boat and being in disbelief by how responsive it was - you pushed the helm down and the boat moved." Chimaera's design copied elements of Intrepid, the 1967 America's Cup defender, whose rudder was separated from the keel."It was a major breakthrough in boating technology," Driscoll explained. Chimaera was carvel planked, but unique in that the outside of the hull was forged in compressions, instead of calking. "That technique wasn't widely used, I think we might have even invented," Driscoll said. "It made for a tighter hull with no calking and no cracks on the seams." Notable Moments in Boat's History: Chimaera's first long distance race was the San Diego to Acapulco Race. The crew was comprised of the "who's who" of North American yachting :Gerry Driscoll, founder of Driscoll Boat Works and skipper of four America's Cup defender races; Lowell Orton North, founder of North Sails and Olympic Gold Medalist in the Star Class; , renowned yacht designer, Olin Stephens; Gene Trepte, and Liebhardt. "They led a good part of the race, then parked outside of Acapulco and didn't make it," Driscoll said. The crew came in second. Chimaera went on to win the Lipton Cup Regatta in 1970 and placed top two in the Ahmanson Cup Regatta in Newport Beach, Calif., and won most of the local races in San Diego and took every major championship in the area including the Rumsey Regatta and the entire series of individual races that led up to it. The boat continues its racing legacy "Currently we're doing all the Ancient Mariner stuff," Driscoll said, who's been commodore of the Ancient Mariner Sailing Society since December 2013. "We do the whole ancient mariner circuit , which includes the Guinea Cup Race, a seven race series in San Diego Bay; then we got the YesterYear Regatta in June; the Kettenburg & Classic Yacht Regatta - that one's cool because you get to see all the old boats."

Olson was a surfer and surfboard shaper who decided to design a 30' ultra light displacement boat while on a delivery from Honolulu to Santa Cruz on Merlin, a 68' Bill Lee designed and built[1] ultralight sailboat which had competed in the biennial Transpac race in 1977. During this delivery, Olson came up with the idea while sailing with Denis Bassano and Don Snyder, who lent their initials to the prototype's name, SOB 30. The resulting boat was christened Pacific High, and it was launched in 1978. As a result of what Olson learned about the sailing characteristics of Pacific High, he constructed a plug for a production boat. The draft was reduced somewhat, the freeboard was increased, and the teak decks of the prototype were replaced with fiberglass and rolled-on non-skid. Olson and partners Lyn Neale and Alan Wirtanen started Pacific Boats in an industrial area of Live Oak, CA, an unincorporated area between Santa Cruz and Capitola. The Olson 30 was introduced into a crowded market of ultralight boats constructed in the Santa Cruz area, including Ron Moore's Moore 24 and Bill Lee's Santa Cruz 27. The Olson 30 featured a single spreader masthead sloop rig with aluminum spars from either Sparcraft Spars[2] or Ballenger Spars[3] of Santa Cruz. Unlike the Moore 24 and Santa Cruz 27, the Olson 30 was relatively beamier and was not legally trailerable without a special permit in California (although it's unclear whether any of the owners actually sought out permits). Construction was similar to the other Santa Cruz boats with polyester resin, E-glass, and an end-grain balsa core in the hull and deck. The keel was cast lead with a small "stubby" of fiberglass, and the rudder was a fiberglass and foam sandwich with a pultruded fiberglass shaft. Unlike many of the boats built in Santa Cruz, the Olson 30 had a light spruce plywood interior, in contrast to the more common Bruynzeel plywood interiors of other boats. Approximately 250 boats were built by Pacific Boats and Ericson Yachts. You can find out more about specific boats by researching the Olson 30 Hull Number Database.[4] #retroboat #sailing #boattour

He formed Bruce Yacht R&D Inc (BYRD) and teamed with designer Bruce Farr and a group headed up by the president of the International Laser Class Association, Tim Coventry.[5] The Laser 28 was Farr's 91st boat design. The project development team included Performance Sailcraft's Ian Bruce, Tim Coventry President of the International Laser Class Association, experienced sailor Peter Hicks, Norman Frost as plastics engineer and Piers Phipps as project financial advisor. Hans Fogh designed the sails, as he had done for the Laser dinghy.[1][5] The boat project had four design goals. First, that the boat should be a strict one-design in the same vein as the Laser dinghy, with all boats produced the same with class rules that prohibited any changes to the boat, so that the competition would be between sailing skills and not the ability to pay for improvements. Second, that the design should have outstanding performance, unhampered by adherence to any rule structure, such as the International Offshore Rule, to ensure a long life as a competitive boat. Third, that the boat be a quality product, using the best of available technology. Fourth, that the boat represent a good value for the monetary outlay, "the intention being to produce a 28 foot yacht with a performance of a 35 foot yacht at the price of a 25 foot yacht."[5] Two prototypes were built and the first sailed in the early summer of 1981 in Falmouth, England, with the second in the water that autumn. Originally fitted with a large genoa foresail the second prototype used a 108% "lapper" jib, that proved superior in winds over 5 kn (9 km/h) and was easier to handle by short-handed crews, as well as cheaper to produce.[5] The prototypes were tested in severe conditions, including broaching and intentional knockdowns with the spinnaker flying, in 35 to 40 kn (65 to 74 km/h) winds that left the cockpit dry and with no equipment failures.[5] With $1,000,000 invested, to get the design from testing to production, a new firm was created by financial consultant Piers Phipps, Precis Ninety Nine Limited. The design was licensed to Performance Sailcraft to produce.[5] #laser28 #sailing #sailboattour

Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/sailinganarchy German boatbuilder Hanse Yachts has added some serious pizazz to the middle of its range with the Judel/Vrolijk-designed 455. Just like its siblings, the new 45-footer looks sharp, sails like a dream and is big for her size. Down below, a thoroughly modern interior is as comfortable as it is functional, and topsides, there's lots of space on deck and in the cockpit to relax and ­enjoy the ride - a darned good combination, I quickly concluded, on a blustery, picture-perfect fall afternoon out on Massachusetts' Buzzards Bay. With a northerly breeze pushing 20 knots, we probably should have thrown a reef in the main before we set out, but instead the boat's owner opted for a full hoist. I suspected that our beat out of the harbor would be on the sporty side, and it was - quite fun, too. With the powered-up full-batten main and self-tending jib closehauled, we heeled considerably, but in the puffs, just when I expected the boat might round up, the 455's high-aspect rudder dug in a little deeper, the shoal-draft cast-iron keel did its job, and the boat shot forward as though we were riding on rails. Tacking the Hanse was as simple as turning the wheel, since the jib is led to a car on a track forward of the mast and tends to itself. With all sail control lines led aft, including the double-ended German-style mainsheet and halyards, electric primary winches set just forward of the twin wheels made the sailing equation that much easier. Even overcanvased, boat handling could not have been simpler. Beating to windward, we made 8 knots and better, and we saw the GPS speed jump to 9-plus knots when we eased sheets and headed off on a reach. You could cover a lot of miles pretty effortlessly on this boat, upwind and down. In calmer conditions, you'd definitely want to fly the optional asymmetric sail, tacked down to the bail built into the bow roller, to thoroughly enjoy a gentlemanly run off the wind. #sailing

Owner Greg Stewart has maintained 'Sprig' to be as beautiful now as she ever has been. She carries her original 3 spreader, 1 jumper rig and bright finish boom. Besides being taken down to bare wood inside and out, Sprig received full length epoxy soaked e-glass splines.This method has been successfully employed for 30 years by many Pacific Coast (PC) Class boats in San Diego. She has 3 cockpits and not even the helmsman gets a seat. Sprig travelled to Seattle in 2001 and 2002 for the Lipton Cup and North Americans and was always in the hunt. She placed second in the 2002 Lipton Cup and 4th in the 2002 North Americans. Sprig is very active in the San Diego Ancient Mariner events and is based at San Diego Yacht Club. Sprig received a new deck and other refurbishment and was relaunched in October 2005. Sprig is the most far-flung member of the Puget Sound Six Meter Association and competed at the 2009 World Cup in Newport, Rhode Island. In order to qualify for the Baum + Koenig Trophy at the 2009 Worlds, Sprig ordered a full suit of Dacron sails to replace her modern versions. She ended 13th of 24 and took home the KSSS trophy for the highest placing Rule 1 or 2 (unmodified keel) boat at the Worlds. In more recent years Sprig has competed in San Diego with that vibrant group of mixed Classic yachts. Greg also took Sprig up to San Francisco Bay for the 2015 St Francis Yacht Club Invitational and the 2016 North American Championships. Sprig and Greg were recently profiled by Sailing World magazine. Look for Sprig at the 2017 International 6 Metre World Championships in Vancouver.

J/145 is the answer, too, for those who seek grace and elegance in their cruising comforts...but not at the cost of performance. It's surprising how many owners of heavy displacement cruisers discover their passage-making to be 75% motoring and only 25% sailing. J/145 solves this problem, bringing back the romance of sailing. This design is unique among boats over 45 feet in offering the proper balance: A boat that's a joy to sail fast with as few as two people while at the same time being comfortable to live aboard and to entertain on. As a SAIL Magazine Top Ten award winner, and with victories & honors in some of the World's most famous offshore races & regattas, including Key West Race Week, Fastnet Race, Port Huron-Mac Race, RORC Season Championship and more recently a 3rd place finish in the 2006 Sydney Hobart Race, the J/145 has defined a unique class of dual purpose performance yacht. She is available in both standard race/cruise or a more deluxe cruising configuration with shoal draft keel. A Fast, Easy-to-Handle Boat: Sailing a J/145 is surprisingly easy. Two people can go for an afternoon sail on the J/145 in just minutes. Throw off the boom cover. Hoist the main on a 2:1 halyard. Cast off. Sail under main alone or unroll the jib from its furler. That's it. Even the spinnaker is ready in its sock. Pull out the sprit. Hoist the halyard. Slide up the sock. Trim the sheet. Easy, upwind and downwind. It's unlikely you've sailed a boat this fast with such a low center of gravity or a boat this large that's so responsive and easy to handle. It's like sailing a 40 footer that turns on a dime but with the stability of a 50 footer. One of the joys of owning a great boat is the ability to share it with family and friends. J/145 is just as happy on the two-week family cruise, as it is sprinting around the buoys or daysailing in the bay. The Cockpit: Much of your time on a sailboat is spent in the cockpit. So, the ergonomics and sail-handling functions of the J/145 cockpit were meticulously planned, taking advantage of what we've learned from many prior J Boat designs. Seat heights off the cockpit sole: the precise distance between cockpit seats to permit bracing one's foot on the face of the leeward seat when heeled sailing to windward; the double-articulated seat backs to support the lower back; the pitch of the seat backs to offer comfort whether for cocktails on the mooring or when heeled sailing to windward; a molded "messenger" bump on the edge of the cockpit seats to warn you where the edge of the seat is when moving about the deck at night; a "step-over" bridge deck under a dodger for maximum safety going below or coming on deck in heavy seas; location of sheet leads and winches so that every conceivable sheeting combination and angle is accounted for; built-in instrument pods on the binnacle and seahood; foot braces for helmsman and winch grinders; remote hydraulic backstay control: and, yes, even an optional helmsman's bimini and seat cushions. Everything you could want for sailing comfort and efficiency. Elegant Versatile Interior: Key to the J/145's interior design is the concept that it's the main cabin that defines the elegance of the yacht while light-weight, functional ends determine its performance and sail handling capabilities. Upon descending the companionway stairs, one is presented with a vista of fine cabinetry in the galley, nav station and settee area. The varnished cold-molded joiner work is crafted in either teak or cherry to very high standards. The arrangement outboard of the port settee is a pilot berth for sleeping comfort on offshore passages. To starboard is an entertainment center, book and bar cabinet storage. Bolstered, Ultra-Leather upholstery on the settees is available. A lightweight starboard aft quarter-cabin with double berth is standard with a second, dual-purpose storage/sleeping area aft to port with two pipe berths. Forward is the standard head/shower arrangement, hanging locker & sail storage to starboard and an available lightweight V-berth platform with U shape bulkheads forward. #americascup #vendeeglobe2020 #sailingnews #sailboattour #transpac #offshoresailing

However, describing the SC37 as a "keelboat" isn't really accurate. This is a 37-foot lightweight carbon raceboat with horsepower to burn. Its high aspect-ratio torpedo bulb keel provides plenty of stiffness by getting the lead bulb 7 feet, 6 inches below the waterline; it also fully retracts with a powerful winch or optional hydraulic ram. The bulb comes up nearly flush with the hull to ease trailering and even make launching from a ramp possible (instead of having to line up for the crane). Here's my take-away from a test drive that took place in a building breeze at the mouth of the Severn River, off Annapolis, Maryland. Construction Both the hull and deck are built with carbon-fiber fabrics, epoxy resin, and a structural PVC foam core, over a layer of isophthalic gelcoat in the mold. Hardware mounting points and high-load areas on the deck are reinforced with high-density-foam inserts and biaxial and unidirectional carbon fiber. The structural grid is made of E-glass with carbon-fiber reinforcements and is bonded to the hull with methacrylate adhesive. The main structural bulkhead is made of carbon with a PVC foam core and is bonded to both the hull and the deck.

Ancient Kauri is a unique material with an amazing beauty and intriguing history. It is commonly regarded as the oldest wood available in the world. Ancient Kauri has been buried underground in New Zealand for approximately 50,000 years, yet it is as workable as newly-harvested wood. The Ancient Kauri has a powerful beauty. The grain and tones of the wood are lovely, and it has a powerful shimmering iridescence. The glow of Ancient Kauri adds to its beauty and illustrates that this is no ordinary timber, but something quite special. It makes anything built from Ancient Kauri more like a jewel. It is perfect for projects that require an extraordinary material. It is rare to find an exotic material that is made available through environmentally friendly methods. Ancient Kauri is the most exotic wood in the world, it's an extremely old growth timber, but not one tree was cut down to harvest it. All the trees fell thousands of years ago by natural forces, and one certainty is that there is a very limited amount of Ancient Kauri on the planet. Plan on being an owner and a steward of some of this incredible wood. If fast is fun then this should be a fun boat to sail. She is light and narrow enough to show a really good turn of speed and has been very well cared for by her past and current owners.

Next aft is the head and hanging locker with beautiful carving on the door. The engine is under a sound deadening cover in the head. Next aft is the main cabin with settees port and starboard and inlaid drop-leaf table between. The settees are full length and are capable of sleeping two adults. Next aft is the galley at the foot of the companionway. The three-burner propane stove with oven and the stainless steel sink are to starboard and the icebox/chart table and navigation instruments are to port. Under the cockpit there are quarter berths both port and starboard. The large cockpit is comfortable and well protected with deep lockers on each side. The galley and head are equipped with manual cold water pumps. There is good 12VDC lighting throughout and there are gimballed kerosene lamps available should you choose to use them. #sailing #sailinganarchy #retroboat

Back story on the flying tiger at this link https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhIxygAO3JefYF9omfU8UhF43llfHdAdc The Flying Tiger 10 M (FT10) is a keelboat designed in 2005 by naval architect Robert H. Perry. Built by Bill Stevens at Hansheng Yachts in Xiamen China, and marketed by Hiptrader LLC, the FT10 is intended as an affordable one-design club racer. With its light displacement (4900 lbs), open transom, and bowsprit that supports a large masthead asymmetrical spinnaker it can be classified a sportsboat. In order to allow manufacture in China and global distribution, the boat was designed to fit inside a standard shipping container. The idea of building an affordable 30 feet sportsboat emerged in 2002 as a heated discussion topic in the on-line forum Sailing Anarchy. A group of avid one-design racers contributed to the definition of the requirements of a low cost 30 feet sportsboat. The group guided Perry through the design of the Anarchy 30 concept boat. Starting from the Anarchy 30 Perry designed the Flying Tiger 10 M during the most part of 2005 in an open forum under the scrutiny and the input of the forum members, in a process that is probably unique in the history of American yacht building.

I R W I N C L A S S I C" 3 2 Over the years Irwin designed three 32ft boats: the 1988 Irwin 32 Citation, the Irwin 32.5 (Bill Watson) and what's called the Irwin "Classic" 32. The "Classic" 32 was designed by Ted Irwin back in 1970 The Endeavour 32 as a dual-purpose cruiser-racer before the development of IOR. By 1975, IOR was in full swing and boats such as the Irwin 32 were obsolete as racers, especially since PHRF had not yet emerged to help handicap non-competitive boats race at the club level. Although the "Classic" 32 had been out-designed for racing, the hull was still a nice, clean, conservative, and comfortable design for cruising. The Irwin 32 was originally available either as a keel/centerboard boat drawing 3'6", or with a long fin keel drawing 5', and listed for $16,500.00 in their 1972 brochure. It appears that owners had a choice between the venerable 30hp Universal Atomic 4 gasoline engine or a 25hp Volvo MD-2B diesel auxilary engine, and an optional yawl rig was also available. However, by the time 'necessary options' were added, the sail away price was probably closer to $20,000 Sail areas: Mainsail (Sloop) 242sqft; Mainsail (Yawl) 216sqft; Mizzen (Yawl) 53; Working Jib (Lapper) 235sqft In 1975 Ted Irwin who was then located in Tampa Bay, gave Brooks and Valdes the molds and tooling for the "Classic" 32 and in 1975 Endeavour bought the molds and tooling from and Endeavour's in-house production and design person Dennis Robbins took the Irwin 32 and modified it and the Endeavour 32 formed the basis for the fledging Endeavour Yacht Corporation. The Irwin "Classic" 32 and the Endeavour 32 sail plans look identical and they have the same displacement, but the the E32 is listed as 4" wider, and 4" longer overall, and 6" longer on the waterline. It's unclear at this time if this was in fact true. The Endeavour 32 was originally built as keel/centerboarder with the same configuration as the Irwin 32 (3'6" board up, 7'10" board down), or with a fixed shoal keel with 4'2" draft. The original Irwin deeper keel (5'0") was discontinued.

visit https://www.sailinganarchy.com Destroyer is a 2005, Bruce Far designed TP52 that was built in New Zealand by Cookson Boats of carbon fiber epoxy pre-preg with a Nomex core sandwich construction. Foam coring was used up forward in the "slamming areas" for added strength. Vacuum-bagged throughout with carbon/foam infused interior structure. with monocoque type construction forward of the mast. The interior arrangement has been simplified to its racing functionality. The resulting weight savings was used to congregate weight centrally in the boat to reduce pitching inertia and allow some exchange of volumes between appendages and hull. Destroyer was built to ABS Offshore Racing Guidelines and is one of the few TP52s that is set up for offshore racing. This has been proven time and again with 3 Transpacs, Cabo, Ensenada and So Cal 300 races under her belt. Deck was completely redone in 2018-2019 with all stanchions and push-pits removed, sanded and painted. The Harken winches were serviced as well as all of the deck hardware removed prior to paint. A new non-skid deck was sprayed on and the cockpit received soft SeaDek flooring. All inspection ports in the cockpit and the deck prisms were either repaired or replaced. The engine is a Yanmar 40 HP (4JH4E) diesel sail-drive. The lower sail-drive unit was replaced in June of 2018. Engine overhaul n Spring of 2019 included new fuel lines, heat exchanger and exhaust manifold along with the servicing of all filter etc.Destroyer has a bronze 2-blade folding Gori propeller. Current engine house as of August 2019 are: Destroyer has been outfitted and updated with all of the latest safety equipment needed for offshore racing

Taxi dancers are hired to dance with their customers on a dance-by-dance basis. When taxi dancing first appeared in taxi-dance halls during the early 20th century in the United States, male patrons would typically buy dance tickets for a small sum each. When a patron presented a ticket to a chosen taxi dancer, she would dance with him for the length of a single song. The taxi dancers would earn a commission on every dance ticket earned. Though taxi dancing has for the most part disappeared in the United States, it is still practiced in some other countries. Reichel Pugh 70 "Taxi Dancer" Taxi Dancer is an iconic bright yellow sled designed by Reichel Pugh in 1988. She has had a lot of success on the race course over the last three decades and the new high modulus carbon spar from Offshore Spars helped carry that trend forward. The high modulus carbon spar is supported with a full carbon EC6 rigging package, including below deck turnbuckles to keep windage at a minimum. The existing boom was retained and a new over-length spinnaker pole with twin fixed goosenecks supports the large modern A-sails.

For sale https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1982/hobie-33m-3518903/ produced by https://www.noblemanproductions.com The Hobie 33 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of a polyester and fiberglass sandwich, with wood trim. Very light for its size with a displacement of 4,000 lb (1,814 kg), it has a 7/8 fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or lifting keel with a bulb weight. It displaces 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) and carries 1,900 lb (862 kg) of lead ballast.[1][3][4] The lifting keel version of the design uses a "bolt-down" style of keel, It has a draft of 5.50 ft (1.68 m) with the lifting keel extended and 1.83 ft (0.56 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer. It has a very narrow beam of 8.00 ft (2.44 m) to meet the legal requirements for highway trailer widths. It mast is hinged at the mast step and the spinnaker pole is used to raise the mast for quick launching with a small crew.[1][3] The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. The outboard is fitted into a stern well, that allows the motor to be swung up and a hatch closed to fair the opening.[1][3] The galley is limited to a dish locker, an icebox under the companionway steps and provisions for an optional alcohol-fired stove. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 5 U.S. gallons (19 L; 4.2 imp gal). There is a sink fed by pumped water, vanity and space for a portable-type head to be installed. Sleeping accommodations are provided for five people on a bow "V"-berth, two under-cockpit single berths and one main cabin settee berth.[3] There are six port fixed lights in a tapered shape and a forward acrylic plastic hatch for ventilation.[3] The cockpit has two sheet winches and all lines, including the halyards, lead to the cockpit. A 838 sq ft (77.9 m2) spinnaker can be used for downwind sailing. The genoa employs a headfoil (a headsail airfoil-shaped reinforcement) and a concealed backstay adjuster. The mainsheet and the boom vang both have 4:1 mechanical advantages. There is a topping lift and an internal outhaul line.[3] The design has a Portsmouth Yardstick racing average handicap of 73.0 and a hull speed of 7.44 kn (14 km/h).[3][4]

The boat has 827 feet of sail area, a masthead rig and displaces 10,000 lbs. with 4500 lbs. ballast. The interior has accommodations for six with a galley and enclosed head. The boat is speed rated the same as a J-35. The Schock 35 is manufactured by W.D. Schock Company, Corona, California, USA. A new boat race equipped costs roughly $130,000 US. Used boats range in price from USD $45,000 to $70,000. The boat is raced with a crew of 9 or 10. Windward-leeward courses with leeward gates are preferred. To control the costs of competing, the Class Rules limit the number sails aboard and regulate sail purchases. Exotic fabrics and technology, Marine Industry Racers, Racing Specialists are also controlled by Schock 35 Class Rules. Although raced in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Taiwan, the largest and most active Schock 35 fleets are along the Southern California coastline from San Diego to Santa Barbara. There are approximately fifty yachts in Southern California. The class enjoys six (6) high-point regattas a year with as many as twenty-nine (29) boats on the start line. The Schock 35 Class is the largest active one-design fleet over 30 feet LOA on the west coast of the United States. Because of the yacht's popularity and availability in California, the Schock 35 was been selected for the Lipton Cup Challenge Regatta every year from 1991 through 2001.

Cost in dollars, time, comfort, relaxation, even friends. Because, 1st-to-finish speed usually meant large, expensive, difficult to manage 40 footers. Intimidating rigs. More crew, and not always those you'd choose to cruise with. "Why seek performance, if freedom to enjoy sailing on one's own terms is lost?" Thanks to the J/35, however, this very real problem has become academic. Faster Than Grand Prix Now, you can take a quantum leap in sailing performance, with increased sailing enjoyment, without the costs. The J/35 design starts with the fastest hull shape possible, disregarding bumps used to get a good "rating". An anomaly of sailboat racing is that Grand Prix, contrary to auto racing, encourages a "low rating" rather than "maxi¬mum speed" for a given size. It gets worse. Manufacturers, trying to create a performance image, then promoted "warmed over" Grand Prix handicap racers as family cruisers. That's why a Beneteau 42, Swan 44, C&C 41 or custom, carbon/kevlar 1 tonner (39-41 ft) is no faster than a stock J/35. PHRF rates the J35 an average of 72. Among the most popular 100 designs sailing PHRF across the country, J/35 is the fastest boat you can buy. One owner reported after a two week cruise with his wife, "No other sailboat of any size passed us. We had the only Indy 500 car on the highway." If you get serious, here's what J/35 can do; 1st Overall MHS Chicago-Mackinac and Block Island Race Week 1984; 1-2-3 Overall PHRF Monhegan Race 1985; Best Boat Under 40 Feet 1984 Bermuda Race MHS; Double-handed Champion New England 1986; Ist Overall Miami-Montego Bay 1986. Under IMS (x-MHS), J/35 is considered to be the most competitive boat you can own. Seaworthiness Speed is worthless without seaworthiness! Tony Lush, veteran of 45,000 miles of open ocean sailing and 7 trans-Atlantic singlehanded crossings, chose the J/35 for the 1984 OSTAR. He beat all multi-hulls in his class except one. "A faster crossing is a safer crossing, because there's less exposure to low pressure gales and frontal systems. Less fatigue. And, I liked J/35's rugged construction and structural engineering. There are few boats of any size that can perform in such weather! Soloing trans-Atlantic in 22 days, upwind to Newport must be some kind of record, tool" Good freeboard, hull flare and reserve buoyancy in bow sections prevent submarining when surfing before huge storm seas or under spinnaker when racing. One owner reports sustained 17 knots of speed, under control, in 35 knots of wind! By minimizing weight in the ends, lowering center of gravity with a deep lead keel and avoiding hull line distortions, J/35 sails fast comfortably ... with minimum pitching and rolling. When the boat behaves better, so does the crew. Increased resistance from either is slow! Easy-to-Sail The fact that J/35 is the choice of people sailing shorthanded, also says that it's well suited for cruising. Mostly, cruising is with two people, which means that one has to sail while the other gets some sleep. A 35 footer still qualifies as "manageable" for a family crew. But, J/35 is even better because a fast 35 footer is less work than a slow one. Less sail area is needed to attain acceptable speeds. A J/35 under mainsail alone (controlled by a 6 part Harken Hexaratchet, Hall Quik-Vang, and Navtec Hydraulic Backstay) is faster than a Pilot 35 under full sail. With small jib and main, a cruising couple on a J/35 can sail circles around a Frers 36 with full racing crew using a large genoa. If it's blowing over 20 knots, it's a lot easier to drop or roll up the jib to sail with full main only, than it is to have to fight the jib and reef the main. Other keys to ease of handling and seaworthiness are balance and control. To feel J/35 accelerate in a puff of wind with hardly more than small pressure on the tiller, is one of the ultimate joys of sailing. And, so your pleasure is not interrupted by a clump of weeds or a crab pot, both keel and rudder leading edge angles (& folding prop) are designed to shed underwater snares. Cruising Yacht Interior Most are amazed that such a fast sailboat has any interior at all, let alone one with extensive teak cabinetry, teak hull sidings, and radiused cold-molded trim. The new standard J/35 comes complete with quarterberths, 8 Bomar opening ports, large head with shower, spacious forward V-Berth cabin, built-in icebox, cabinets and storage behind main settee berths, and a 28 hp diesel engine. J/35 - From the Experts Sailing World Magazine- By Andreas Josenhans The "J" stands for Johnstone and the "35" stands for 35 feet. Straightforward-a characteristic of both the boat and the company that sells them.
