In Europe, the J/109s are legendary as the ultimate cruiser-racer. In the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, the boats have enjoyed such tremendous popularity that in major offshore events or race weeks they create one-design classes. There is not a major trophy event offshore in the RORC and in Europe that does not have a J/109 winning team emblazoned on the silverware.
Here is another example of a well-maintained J/109 lying in the Netherlands that is "ready to race" or cruise for family and friend’s enjoyment. Learn more about this Netherland-based J/109 here
