Welcome to this week’s edition of the J/Newsletter! The sailing world has been alive with action, camaraderie, and thrilling competition over the past few weeks, and we’re here to bring you the highlights.

J/Crews Loving San Diego Hot Rum Series II

(San Diego, CA)- The annual fun-loving fall regatta series in San Diego known as the “Hot Rum Series” saw the San Diego Yacht Club host the second race this past weekend. 
A fleet of 131 boats participated last Saturday. The race is a simple “pursuit style” event, where the slowest boats start first and the fastest boats start last; whoever crosses the finish line first boat-for-boat is declared the winner.  As has been the case over time, the classic building seabreeze often benefits the bigger faster boats that start late. There were thirty-five J/Teams (29.0%) in the fleet  Read more here.

Last Place at J/Fest Southwest: A Wild Ride and Victory Beyond the Finish Line – Racing on a Shoestring Budget!

(Houston, TX)- Here is a very entertaining and informative story about a woman’s first boat- a J/29! Thanks for this contribution from Elizabeth Quintanilla.
Lakewood Yacht Club’s J/Fest Southwest 2024 in Galveston Bay stands as a testament to grit, determination, and the strength of the community. It’s not just about the result but the incredible journey to get there. Coming in last place at J/Fest Southwest 2024 might sound disappointing to some. But for me, it was a triumph in proving the joy and accessibility of sailboat racing on a budget. 
I’ve spent countless hours on the water, fueled by passion and a strong competitive spirit. With my fantastic crewmates across various teams, we’ve formed a bond that only comes from facing the challenges of sailboat racing head-on. Each race is a story of resilience, from reading the wind shifts to executing flawless tacks and gybes. It’s not just about the thrill but the connection we feel with the sea, the boat, and each other. We are driven by the desire to win and the shared experiences that bring us closer, one sail at a time.  Our journey is one of constant learning. We embrace both triumphs and setbacks as we navigate the competitive sailing world, especially if we come from non-traditional backgrounds. We are grateful for every moment on the water, chasing new horizons and racing toward our next adventure. Read more here.

About J/Boats
The story of J/Boats is a classic entrepreneurial tale. With a $20,000 investment and a speedy 24-foot sailboat that Rod Johnstone built in his garage, Rod and his brother Bob Johnstone went into business in 1977. The boat they built, the J/24, has become the most popular recreational offshore keelboat in the world. The Johnstone family has made an undeniable mark on the sailing world. In addition to the 5,500 J/24s cruising the waves, there are over 9,500 more J/Boats, ranging from the International J/22 to the J/65, that sailing enthusiasts have bought at prices ranging from $10,000 to $2,000,000.  Read more

A fleet of 131 boats participated last Saturday. The race is a simple “pursuit style” event, where the slowest boats start first and the fastest boats start last; whoever crosses the finish line first boat-for-boat is declared the winner. As has been the case over time, the classic building seabreeze often benefits the bigger faster boats that start late.
There were thirty-five J/Teams (29.0%) in the fleet.

PHRF 2 DivisionIn this eleven-boat fleet, the trio of J/145 teams are coming on strong! Rudy Hasl’s J/145 PALAEMON sits in second place with a 3-2 for 5 pts. Then, fellow J/145 owner- Steven Ernest’s AIMANT de FILLE is in 5th place with a 5-7 for 12 pts and Alec Oberschmidt’s ARRRGH sits in 6th just two points back with an 8-6 for 14 pts.

(Punta del Este, Uruguay)- There were great expectations for the 2024 URUFARMA South American J/70 Championship that was held at Yacht Club Punta del Este from November 18th to 24th, 2024.

Thirty J/70 teams from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay were looking forward to the four days of competition on the southeastern reaches of the Rio de la Plata in the gorgeous and world-famous international resort city of Punta del Este. For many, it was a “practice race” for the teams wishing to qualify for six spots in the 2025 J/70 World Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina!

After an amazing eleven-race series, it was clear the top three teams were a Brazilian trio from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil that were fighting for the top three spots on the podium. In fact, just two points separated the three teams that have all competed on the international J/70 circuit for years in the USA and Europe. The winner was determined by a tiebreaker at 30 pts net each!
Winning the countback against fellow countrymen was Ralph Rosa’s MINDSET and his crew of Guilherme Hamelmann, Julio Carvalho, and Goncarlo Ribeiro. They won four of the 11 races. Garnering the silver medal was globe-trotting Haroldo Soldberg’s VIKING team of Geison Mendes, Mario Tinocco, and Gabriel Silva. Rounding out the podium was Sam Albrecht’s EL ENEMIGO crew of Gustavo Thiesen, Rodolfo Streibel, and Guilherme Roth.

(Hamble, Southhampton, England)- The 43rd running of the Hamble Winter Series continued this past weekend. So far, it has proved to be a somewhat drama-filled few weeks of sailing. Here’s what’s happening in each division- J/111 and IRC handicap- for the past two weekends of sailing.
HWS Week 5
“Dunkelflaute. The German word for the miserable, grey non-weather that’s been draining the life out of everyone in Britain,” wrote Quentin Letts in the Sunday Mail newspaper on Sunday, on 10th November 2024.
Well, it has certainly been draining the strength out of the Hamble Winter Series so far this year. Two Race days have been lost to this phenomenon in the 43rd Hamble Winter Series and sandwiched in between them was Storm Ashley. No one associated with the event can remember losing more than one weekend before, let alone three. So, it was a very nervous Race Team that gathered at HRSC on Sunday morning. Audrey Knight proclaimed “In this country, it’s called Anti Cyclonic Gloom” which made everybody even more depressed! With 5 knots showing at Calshot on Windycator 11, PRO, Peter Bateson, ordered his troops to head for the CV and onward to the Solent.
At 0827 hrs Peter announced to the WhatsApp group that the CV Sea Angel was heading for 4J- hamblewinterseries.com mark in the Solent. By 0908 hrs it was confirmed that the set up was indeed at 4J.
“Currently 6 knots from the S,” boasted Peter. The breeze was meandering between 090 and 120 degrees in the prestart period, so with the course axis set at 110 degrees, a simple 2-lap windward/leeward was designed for all boats, with windward marks at 0.6 and 0.8 NM. This gave race lengths 3.2 NM and 2.5 NM, with 4J used as the leeward mark.
In IRC 2, Mike and Susi Yates’s J/109 JAGO managed to “find a way around the crowded marks to wriggle away and win the race”. This was something of an improvement for Mike, who was fresh from cutting away a rig after six hours of the Middle Sea Race. Rob Cotteril’s J/109 MOJO RISIN was third.
Not satisfied with getting one race finished, the PRO sent everyone off again. For race 2, the breeze started at 4-5 knots from 120°. A (Very) short 3.7 mile round the cans course was set with a triangle, a beat, and a run. As the breeze dropped to 1-3 knots the course was shortened at 4L- William- using the pin end/mark laying boat Obsession, whose team, Steph Merry, Rupert Wolloshin, Peter Halliday, and Nick Irwin seemed glad to have more to do. As the boats were finishing, a light breeze of 5-6. kts returned, having veered another 120° and now coming from 240°.
In IRC 2, Rosie Berry’s J/109 JEANIE made sure there was a J/109 at the top of the podium again. JAGO managed to drift the wrong side of the weather mark, with a few others, which left them sixth. Then, Chris Burleigh’s J/109 JYBE TALKIN kept the 109-fest going with a third place.
Back in the HRSC Club House, Tom Underwood of Force 4 Chandlery, Port Hamble, presented the prizes. Tom brought enough goodies that the podiums in both races could receive an award. The Raymarine goody bag for first was especially well received as it contained a Lighthouse Chart for the UK & Ireland. There were also Force 4 vouchers and goodies from Kingfisher Ropes. These prizes were well worth struggling round in light airs for. Mike Yates expressed his thanks to Peter B and the Race Team “Glad we got two races in.” he said.

HWS Week 6
Robert Hillman’s Exuberant was the Committee Vessel for Race Week 6- sponsored by J/BOATs dealer Key Yachting. Indeed, exuberant was how everyone was feeling, with the prospect of two races for the second week running. You could feel the energy as the Race Team and competitors headed for 4S- Royal Southern buoy.
The Forecast was for 8-12 knots WNW-W and that is pretty much what happened. PRO Peter Bateson and his trusted sidekick, Kathryn Clark, decided on one very short windward/leeward race to get the crews warmed up – and to put another race score in the bag – followed by a “proper” round the cans race to finish off. The W/L was just over 3 miles for classes IRC1 & IRC 2.
IRC 2 saw the first general recall of the series, with around a third of the 20 boats over the line. With a Z-flag preparatory signal, they got away fairly cleanly on the second attempt.
Alain Waha’s J/99 FURTHER WEST led the finishers home in IRC 2. Rob Cotterill’s J/109 MOJO RISIN was the second over the line.
In the second race, Mike and Susie Yates’s J/109 JAGO came in second and FURTHER WEST came in just six seconds corrected behind JAGO!!
Back in HRSC Clubhouse Key Yachting presented the prizes. Ian Handley summed up the day saying “Overall, it was a fantastic day’s racing in 11-17 knots and a bit of sun. Our second prize, a bottle of Salcombe Gin, felt like a win and will be much appreciated by Charles’s Mum when we get home.”
Winter Series J/111 ClassIt has turned into a runaway lead after ten races for Chris Jones & Louise Makin’s JOURNEYMAKER II, winning seven races with 9 pts net total! Second is Paul Griffiths’s counting three 1sts and five 2nds for 13 pts net. In third is the Jolene Syndicate’s JOLENE with 22 pts net.
Winter Series IRC 2 DivisionAfter eight races, five of the top 10 boats on the leaderboard are J/crews. Leading are two J/109s- Mike & Susie Yates’s JAGO is first with 11 pts, Rob Cotterill’s MOJO RISIN is in second place with 16 pts, fifth is Chris Burleigh’s J/109 JYBE TALKIN with 24 pts, seventh is JB Brian’s J/99 JOLLY JUMPER with 44 pts, and tenth is Vernon Bradley’s J/99 BLACKJACK with 69 pts.

“The Lahaina Return Labor Day race was 15-25 kt tradewinds and we had our hands full for 70 miles. It was all downwind with planing conditions all day. The finish of the race is the same patch of water as the finish of the Transpac Race! The waves. were epic and line up with no cross swell from Coco Head to Diamond Head for 5 miles!

(San Diego, CA)- The annual fall bacchanalian festival in San Diego known as the “Hot Rum Series”, hosted by the San Diego Yacht Club, will be hosting the second race this coming weekend.
A fleet of 122 boats is participating in the series of three-weekend races that take place on Saturdays. The race is a simple “pursuit style” event, where the slowest boats start first and the fastest boats start last; whoever crosses the finish line first boat-for-boat is declared the winner. As has been the case over time, the classic building seabreeze often benefits the bigger faster boats that start late.
There are thirty-five J/Teams (29.0%) in the fleet. Here is the current status for each division.
PHRF 2 DivisionIn this eleven-boat fleet, Rudy Hasl’s J/145 PALAEMON sits in third place. Fellow J/145 owner- Steven Ernest is in fifth place with AIMANT de FILLE.
