(London, England)- That's a delicious description of a boat, isn't it? According to Toby Hodges at Yachting World during his recent video boat test review of the J/111,
Toby described the 111 as "sleek, slippery, sexy style" unequalled in
any boat her size range. He and Paul Heys further described it as "the
turbo-charged 2011 version of the J/105- the first keelboat to start the
modern trend in 1991 to sport an easy-to-use fractional rig, sprit pole
and spinnakers with the ability to plane". Toby's video boat test is on
Yachting World's boat test site.
He also did a great interview of J/UK Dealer Paul Heys, commenting on
the development of the 111, its meaning to the UK and European markets
and its potential for strong one-design fleet development. Enthusiasm
continues to build with over 60+ boats sold and one-design fleets
forming on the Solent and in France. J/111 YW boat test- Toby Hodges J/111 Interview- Paul Heys Sailing photo credit- Tim Wilkes. More J/111 sailboat information here.
