(Gustavia, St Barthelemy)- While there were a number of J/Boats sailing in the Voiles de St Barth’s
last weekend, a number of J sailors were also sailing aboard other
boats and having a combination of ethereal as well as hair-raising
experiences.For starters, on the Gunboat 62 ELVIS was Steve Cucchiaro (J/105 North American champion strategist), Cam Lewis, Jack Slattery, Mark Laura, Brian Thomas and Dru Slattery- all avid J/Boats sailors over the years having fun cat racing in the Caribbean.
Similarly, long-time J/105 and J/70 owner Chris and Carolyn Groobey were sailing the Gunboat 55 TOCCATA in the same class with Stu & Julia Johnstone aboard. Here’s a nice sailing video of her by ace Spanish photographer Jesus Renedo: https://vimeo.com/125166259.
Finally, Stu’s brother Peter J.
was sailing the brand new Gunboat G4 TIMBALERO III (40 footer) and
learned their limits of sailing a performance cruising foiling catamaran
on the final day of Les Voiles de St Barth- check out the sailing video
