J/30 Social Event Winners!

J/30 spinnaker sailing (New Orleans, LA)- The J/30s continue to have fun as a class.  Quite remarkable to see a fun-loving group of people enjoy what has become a "classic" 30 footer in the J stable of sailboats alongside the J/24, J/22, J/29, J/27, J/36 and other 30+ year-old designs from the boards of design and engineering in Stonington, CT and Newport, RI.  J/30 owners, like their class brothers, have enjoyed an on-going roller-coaster of "love" from fellow sailors in the sailing world.  Suffice it to say, the J/30 sailors know how to have a great time --- the socializing amongst the sailors is legendary.  No questions asked.  Sailing regattas from Long Island Sound, to the Chesapeake, to the Great Lakes to No'Leans on the granddaddy of shallow lakes- Lake Ponchartrain, it's pretty clear the J/30 crew are enjoying sailing their fast, comfortable steeds and, perhaps most importantly, bring hundreds of their buddies, family and otherwise to join in on the fun!

J/30 women's sailing team on RAFIKI in Milwaukee, WIIn keeping with the spirit of the class, fellow J sailors and others might be amused by the fun-loving camaraderie these J/30 sailors are having.  The videos are totally "tongue-in-cheek", "off-the-wall" and above all "entertaining".  Sailing should ALWAYS be this much fun.  :)   J/30 Midwinters Sailing Youtube video     Girls Go Sailing- J/30 RAFIKI video link- how the "Rafikians" go sailing, playing and learning about life-- all-girls crew style.
