(Brownsville Marine, Port Orchard, WA)- Sail Northwest is excited to follow our first ever J/Boats Rendezvous for the Pacific Northwest this past spring, 2014 at the Brownsville Marina with the now second running of what we hope will be an annual event - the PNW J/Boats Rendezvous. J/Boats has touched the lives of every sailor in America and it's time to celebrate those designs and those experiences that continue to shape the racing and cruising world. Since its' auspicious beginnings in the garage of Rod Johnstone back in 1975 the J/Boats company has continued to produce high-end performance oriented racer/cruisers that perform well on the race course and are designed and built with such quality they are able to cruise the world's oceans or provide your family with a safe a comfortable platform to cruise or daysail on the bay.
It's these boats and these achievements we will be celebrating in Port Orchard on June 20th, 2015. Bring your cruising boat, bring your daysailer, bring your race boat - you don't need a J/Boat to attend, but if you have one, we want to see it in Port Orchard!
Boats can begin arriving at the Port Orchard Marina in our reserved slips at the outboard end of the Activities pier at 11am Saturday to start the stern tie line-up inside the breakwater. Anyone is welcome to arrive Friday night, as there is plenty of Moorage available. The day’s festivities will include a “Poker Rally” and “Happy Hour” tours of the attending boats incorporating a “Best In Show” competition done by popular vote (the 2014 winner was PAZZO, a beautifully restored J/35). This will be followed with a BBQ and potluck side dish dinner dockside followed by awards. Refreshments and the main course for dinner will be provided; you bring a side dish and whatever emergency rations you’ll need.
