(Fort Worth, TX)- Over the past few weeks, the J/70 has been sailing in
some pretty cool places. Down in Texas, the Fort Worth Boat Club has
been hosting J/70 demo sails. Said Scott Spurlin, "The FWBC had been
receiving calls all week with interested parties. People drove/flew in
from Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oklahoma City. For the first 3 or 4 hours we
had two to three boat loads waiting for their turn on the dock while the
boat was out. Terry Spurlin, Bob, and a sailor from Tulsa that came in
Friday, Glenn Darden, and myself were all busy! Quite amazing the buzz
this boat has generated! But well deserved!Some interesting observations from our recent demos-- many of the prospects are new to the J/Family and own boats such as: Soling (1), Colgate 26 (2), Catalina 22 (2), Catalina (25). There are a few J/owners that are buying and one of the hot prospects currently owns a J/27. The good news is that the J/70 seems to be growing the J/family." For more J/70 sailing information
