  • Fantastic footage of the J-111 off the wind in a breeze!

    I do however have a couple of questions...1) I would be very interested to see any footage of the boat going to weather in these conditions and 2) is this J-111 hull # 2, the same boat that raced in the Chicago - Michigan City race in Sept? Sail number matches; think the boat's name is IMPULSE. Thanks again for the great clip! looking forward to your response.

  • @29erhardtail

    thanks these are Hull#2 sail on hull#5

    camera got wet going downwind so no upwind,

  • @ew205cc

    Thanks for the clarificaiton on the sail numbers and hull numbers. Also noticed she was flying both masthead (standard) and fractional kites. Is the fractonal kite rigging a factory (Hall Spars/J-Boats) option?

  • @29erhardtail

    someone else mentioned that too. Must be a funny angle. We only used the 110 sq.mt chute that day it is a masthead sail only.

  • @ew205cc

    Correction yes they used the jib halyard. I checked the still photos, the 110 sq.mt sail was set on the jib halyard, on a run you can do this and the sail still looks good and you stay on your feet. Same sail sort of scandalized to maintain control. Not a new idea downeast

  • How do you jibe with that thing hooked up like that?

  • ~1.095

  • @kz4usa 1.089 i think

  • what does it rate on irc? 1.100?

  • Is the J-125 better for offshore sailing then the J111

  • What kinda chase boat can't catch them?

    Come on guys lets get a better chase boat.

  • They actually used the spinnaker halyard, as the jib is tightly furled along the forestay, therefore the jib is probably using the jib halyard; the spinnaker halyard, or the spare jib halyard ;)

  • Where's the staysail? Why is nobody hiking or clustered aft? I bet you could get some better numbers than that.

  • very cool indeed
