(Marstrand, Sweden)- Peter Gustafsson on J/111 BLUR- had
one last outing for speed in Sweden before putting the boat away for
the long winter. Gotta hand it to Peter and "the boys", they LOVE
sailing their J/111 and just about any opportunity they have for some
fun & games, they take it! See their latest attempts at cracking the 20 kt barrier here in this YouTube sailing video.Just to refresh you memories of fun sailing this summer, here's a great video of them sailing their J/111 BLUR after a regatta in Sweden. Said Peter, "The plan was to go to Skagen, but when the wind topped 20 knots and the sea built we decided to pop the spinnaker and go to Marstrand instead. Great ride!"
To give you an idea of how fast the J/111 goes over the course of the wind ranges, Stephane Blanchard sailing his LE JOUET in France has a great site with lots of great info for J/111 owners. Here are their "on-board instrument data" Polar Diagrams for the J/111 LE JOUET based on actual sailing performance using the ADRENA Routing/ Navigation Performance software--- also happens to be a good friend of Stephan's (the ADRENA guy)!
