Seeing Velsheda come powering past us under spinnaker (as in all the rest of the IRC0 fleet!) at the start of this years Round the Island was just awesome! Hope I get to sail on one of these sometime!

I had the honour of sailing aboard Endeavour from St. Bart's for one day in 1989, courtesy of Elizabeth Meyer. A memory I will cherish till the day I die.

I don't think the Americas Cup has been raced for in 12 metres for quite some time. The last 12 to win the Americas Cup was Stars & Stripes with Dennis Connor at the the helm

i agree, the new "AC90" boats look like a 90 foot windsurfing board, J class boats are the ultimate racing yachts, good to see theres still people with enough taste (and money) to bring some of them back to life.

Totally agree amcernichiari If they could channel some of the money from the national lottery and build a national J-class them just think of the possabilitys. If I won a biiiig win then that's what I would do.

very true, this mess with the current AC is just bollocks, they should remake the j-class and have a regatta around the isle of wight, to decide a new winner and that's the end of it. and they should have it around the isle of wight once a year, and try to turn it into an event like the 24 hours of lemans or something like that

J-Class the ultimate in grace, power and style.

You are correct sir! They now race IACCs (International Americas Cup Class). I doubt the Js will ever be developed for racing again but it is great that those remaining are sailing.
