Would you like to sail the world with me? That’s what Stuart asked me on our first date… Who would have thought that swiping right on tinder would have brought us to were we are now?! After a few months sailing around the south coast of England we are now cruising down through the French canals. We might sail around the world or just around the corner. Who knows? Would you like to find out?

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

Toni and I set sail with our son, Ben, and our 4 grand kids for the first time on Moments in Time. It was nice weather with low winds and no chop. It went well and we did not have to practice any adhoc man-overboard drills. They lost interest after lunch. Subscribe and share the adventure!
