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

Anchor watch, boat rage and a beautiful day sail along the Cote D’Azure… With a strong mistral forecast to blow out of the Gulf of Lyon we spent a night on anchor watch outside of St Tropez before hoisting the sails and heading east to the largest marina in the Mediterranean, by tonnage; Antibes. Whilst we enjoyed a beautiful day of sailing along the Côte d’Azure some other boaters got a little, erm, shall we say, testy with each other. 🙉🙊😅 Please do come aboard, relax, and enjoy a day of summer sailing with us…all you have to do is click here 👉🏼 https://youtu.be/nZBLcjelmQw #followintrepidbear #sailing #sailinglife⛵️ #sailor #sailboat #najad #anchorwatch #sailingthemed #medsailors #boatlife #superyachts #
