* It is always
amazing to see where J's end up
around the world-- like the J/41 One-Tonner that has been modified to
be an ultra-cool racer-cruiser sailing in Thailand and Malaysia by a
Frenchman- Jean Rheault or the fire-engine red J/35 resurrected from the
ash-heap of history cruising Mexico and Central America. Recently,
one of the J/133s changed hands and it's new owners continue to race successfully (e.g. when they're not cruising!). The
Canadian purchaser of RUM FUNNY in 2011 re-named her PALADIN (seen here). With the addition of carbon sails,
PALADIN just won the Vallarta Cup in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! Cool stuff. Thanks for this report from Bud Suiter.
