2002 J Boats J/80

Built in 2002 using the SCRIMP method and had the keel and rudder faired by Waterline Systems.  It has been home ported for all but last year in fresh water and only been on salt water for the 2012 season. The mast and all standing and running rigging was replaced in 2009 with a beautiful Hall Spars rig and the electronics updated at the same time with Tacktick wireless instruments.  That system has a flux gate compass linked to the mast display and controlled by a hand held device.  It is interfaced with the hand held Garmin GPS, mounted on a bracket below decks, such that you can lay in way points and routes.  Running rigging has all been upgraded to spectra and is top of the line.  Deck layout is class standard but upgraded to keep pace with the developments of the recent French built hulls.  Sails are mostly UK by Kerry Klinger.  She also comes with a North 3DL  #1, and North code zero!  She has a proven race record (5th Place North Americans in 2005 / Overall winner 2009 St Pete NOOD etc), ready to go!

She sits on a dual axel trailer! More details coming soon.

J-80 combines ease of handling and great stability with speed, the elusive goal in an easily trailed monohull. J-80 (80 decimeters) was designed with the security and reliability of a fixed lead keel of moderate draft. That ballast is made more effective by J-80's low center of gravity, thanks to a strong, light hull and deck built with a TPI-patented, vacuum resin infusion process achieving 60-70 per cent glass content and precise weight control. To encourage ownership and participation in J-80 events by all sailors, J-80 Class Rules are written to keep the fun up and costs down. J-80 Class Rules, when racing one-design, specify a three sail limitation: Dacron mainsail on slides, 100 per cent roller furling Mylar jib and 0.6 ounce asymmetric spinnaker. Sails must remain stored on the roller furler and boom at night. The crew weight limit is three people of any weight, or 715 pounds if there are four or more people aboard. With many J-80 one-design events during 1993 and the initial 80 boats going to 11 nations, J-80 is well on its way to becoming an international class. Trailering to class events is as easy as with a J-24. J-80 weighs less, fits U.S. & European legal towing widths, and rides high enough on a trailer so as not to obstruct rear-view visibility.
