J/36 Sunset Cruising- Sailing The Med!

(Palma Mallorca, Spain)- Norm Curnow’s J/36 JAZZ from the United Kingdom continues its adventures across the Mediterranean.  Like Stan Joine’s perspective above, Norm has been a big fan of his J/36 after sailing her for several tens of thousands of miles both single-handed and double-handed.  Here’s a quick update from Norm:

“Things that make a cruiser-racer worthwhile even after 35 years of sailing my J/36:


Sunset traveling home after a visit to Crete








J/36 sailboat- kevlar jib after storm

The kevlar jib after 50-plus knots of wind














Trophies won in one of the good seasons












At rest at the top of the Straits of Messina






J/36 cruiser sailboat- docked at Palma Mallorca, Spain

Once again in Palma Majorca off Spain







J/36 cruiser sailboat- sailing off Newport, Rhode Island

Finally, were it all started in the USA as Rod Johnstone’s JAZZ.  We won the trophy for the most traveled boat in 2014 at my local sailing club- Saltash Sailing Club! Fantastic!”
