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

Ayer domingo por la noche, sobre las 21:15 horas, me disponía a grabar una tormenta con relámpagos desde la ventana de mi habitación, lo hice con mi DJI Pocket 2 en la modalidad Slow Motion 1080p/240 fps (para 8x). Mi sorpresa mayúscula es cuando descubro casi por casualidad que se han grabado una formación de luces a mucha velocidad (a pesar de estar en Slow Motion). Lo primero que pensé es que podían ser los satélites Starklink, pero recordé que siempre van en fila india y en órbita constante. Pido disculpas por la mala calidad de la imagen, el vídeo es un recorte del original, además este tipo de cámaras tienen un sensor pequeño (1/1.7" CMOS), y en condiciones de poca luz, aparece mucho ruido. Espero vuestros comentarios y opiniones
