The design of the hull lines of J8 was originally from the legendary boards of Frank C. Paine. Paine is famous for his 1930 J-class yacht Yankee that was modified and updated in 1934 and the only J that could compete against the considerably longer waterline Super Js'. The lines plan shows that Paine designed J8 with an 88 ft original waterline length, a foot longer than any other J ever designed. He intended to accept a penalty on sail area for waterline length, which was quite radical in those days. The handicap system that is used nowadays is totally different but history has proven that waterline length is crucial in these designs. Read more: https://www.hoekdesign.com/yacht/j8-topaz

A deep water pinnacle situated close to the mid point of the sheltered side of this small ribbon reef is one of our most popular sites. Visibility is almost always fantastic since you are literally visiting the very edge of the GBR, next stop Fiji! For the divers the pinnacle holds not only the obvious school of Barracuda but also Dog Tooth Tuna and some fair size Grey reef Sharks. The pinnacle is a macro Photographers delight.
