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

Building on the successful design of its predecessors, the Skyscape 2021 is a testament to Loftsails windfoil dedication. The 2021 models have increased aspect ratio and decreased head sizes. These changes - when combined with updated vertical shaping and horizontal profile values - mean that the Skyscape has once again raised the bar for foil freeriding. The Skyscape 5.8 6.4 and 7.0 sizes retain their moderate width mast pockets, 5-batten 3-cam configuration, and soft leech twist character. Skyscape 8.0 and 9.0 sizes stay with their Blade-type mast pockets, 6-batten 3-cam design, and firmer leech twist for more race-oriented performance.
