(Paris, France)- Surprised? It was a banner year for the J/111 and the
press accolades keep pouring in. Over in Europe, some of the world's
most experienced sailing editors and reviewers have had opportunities to
compare and contrast the J/111 against two dozen-plus models from
leading sailboat builders in Europe. What they discovered is what most
American and British sailing experts in the media saw as one of the most
exciting next-generation offshore sailboats in decades. After the
dozen or so French sailing experts spent over a week evaluating various
boats, the J/111 came out on top as the VOILES Magazine Boat of the Year
2012! A PDF file (36 MB) can be found here to read-- in French.
