The Sun Never Sets on J’s Sailing Around the World<\/h2>\n

Welcome to this week’s edition of J\/Newsletter, your premier source for the latest sailing events and regattas from around the globe for J\/Lovers. As the summer heats up, so does the competition on the water. In this issue, we bring you highlights from recent events and a preview of what’s to come in the world of sailing.<\/p>\n

The Kiel Week Regatta 2024 concluded on Sunday, June 30th, after thrilling and varied races. Sailors faced everything from gentle breezes to stormy gusts under predominantly clear, blue skies. The nine-day event provided warm, summery conditions on the Baltic Sea, often reminiscent of the Caribbean, making it a memorable experience for all participants and spectators.<\/p>\n

The 85th Queen’s Cup Race took place last weekend on Lake Michigan, featuring an overnight challenge from Milwaukee, WI to South Haven, MI. Organized by Milwaukee\u2019s South Shore Yacht Club and the South Haven Yacht Club, the event was a hit with the J\/Teams on Lake Michigan. The race was marked by excellent pre- and post-race festivities, ensuring a fantastic experience for all involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

La Rochelle Nautique is set to host the J\/80 World Championship, an event that promises to be extraordinary. Following the merger of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des R\u00e9gates Rochelaises and the \u00c9cole de Voile Rochelaise, La Rochelle Nautique draws on the combined expertise and history of these two venerable sailing institutions. The French J\/80 Class, together with La Rochelle Nautique, has planned a top-tier competition and a well-organized event, thanks to the support of local governmental bodies.

Celebrate the LOVE of Sailing- the J\/9 Daysailer!<\/h1>\n

(Newport, RI)- \u201cWith the J\/9, we set out to reimagine how to make sailing easier, more relaxing and more inclusive,\u201d said Jeff Johnstone of J\/Boats. \u201cThis is a boat you can sail by yourself in just minutes, or bring along the whole gang with plenty of room to spare. Escaping to the water and enjoying shared family adventure has never been more important, and the J\/9 is the perfect solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

The July 4th Independence Holiday weekend in America is all about celebrating family, freedom, and the joy to celebrate such experiences with family and friends around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe sailed the J\/9 on a cracking fall day on Chesapeake Bay in an ideal 10 to 12 knots, and man, it did not disappoint. As advertised, the layout is simplicity personified: one hand on the tiller, the other on the mainsheet. There\u2019s no traveler, the boom is controlled by an ingenious bridle setup. There\u2019s a clear view of the B&G plotter on the coachroof, the solid Sparcraft vang aids in boom control, and lazy jacks for the main keeps everything manageable. And, the J\/9 sails like a witch, notching just shy of 7 knots hard on the breeze, and topping that number cracked off on a reach. The joy of sailing, eh? Here\u2019s your ticket.\u201d \u00a0Excerpted from Boat Reviews article by Herb McCormick, Cruising World Magazine<\/p>\n

Spectacular Kieler Woche Regatta!<\/h1>\n

\u00a0(Kiel, Germany)- The Kiel Week Regatta 2024 came to an end on Sunday (30 June) after extremely varied sailing races between light winds and stormy gusts. The skies were crystal clear blue for most of the nine days of predominantly warm summery, sometimes Caribbean conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That was the new Kiel Week weather,” beamed Dirk Ramhorst after two decades on the Kieler Woche team, ten of them as head of the organization. The Principal Race Officer Fabian Bach agreed, “If the level of service on the courses and shore is and remains first-class, the athletes from home and abroad will honor this with their entries.”<\/p>\n

The combination of the popular sailing regatta of world renown with Northern Europe’s largest summer festival is what makes Kiel Week so unique. Blessed with breeze and good weather both the J\/24 and J\/70 fleets sailed ten races!\u00a0<\/p>\n

J\/24 Class
Twenty-five J\/24 teams participated from Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands. In the end, it was Fritz Meyer’s HUNGRIGER WOLF team (Mortiz Book, Thorsen Paech, Jonas Lyssewski, and Jannik Duehren) that won with 23 pts net. Second was Stefan Karsunke’s SCHWERE JUNGS crew (Christian Carstens, Malte Gibbe Luise Boehlich, and Tim Habekots) with 36 pts net. Then, rounding out the podium to complete a German sweep of the podium was Manfred Konig’s VITESSE team (Tina Luelfing, Nils Glockow, Jom Harms, and Marcel Rhode) with 45 pts net.<\/p>\n

J\/70 Class
The J\/70 class fielded a stunning entry of forty-eight teams from across Europe! It was a record turnout for any J\/one-design fleet in the history of Kieler Woche! It was a very closely fought regatta for the top of the leaderboard. Winning was Kim Christensen’s Danish crew (Gustav Schwenneden, Jonas Warrer, and Mathias Lehm Sletten) on DEN 1343 with 28 pts net. The second went to Frederik Hvalso’s Danish crew (Mads Larsen, Kristian Kvid Sorensen, and Morten Sogaard) on DEN 1410 with 30 pts net. Then, rounding out the podium was Kai-Uwe Hollweg’s German crew (Alex Heiken, Jork Homeyer, and Magnus Simon) on GER 1165 with 33 pts net.\u00a0 Kieler\u00a0Woche entries and results<\/a>\u00a0 For\u00a0more Kieler Woche sailing information<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

J\/122 ELBOW ROOM Crushes Queen’s Cup Race<\/h1>\n
\n

(Milwaukee, WI)- The 85th challenge for the Queen’s Cup Trophy took place last weekend on Lake Michigan. This overnight race across Lake Michigan departs from Milwaukee, WI for South Haven, MI. Both Milwaukee\u2019s South Shore Yacht Club and the South Haven Yacht Club provided a great experience for both pre and post-race festivities. The race is popular with J\/Teams on Lake Michigan. Here is the breakdown by division.\u00a0<\/p>\n

J\/111 Class
Winning by just 5 minutes was Blane Shea’s STRIKING BACK. Second was George Golder’s TERRIER, followed by Colin & Mark Caliban’s NO QUARTER in the third position. Rounding out the top five were Brad & Ian Faber’s UTAH and Jeff Schaeffer’s SHMOKIN JOE, in fourth and fifth, respectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PHRF 1 Division
Nine boats competed in this division of large gold-plated speedsters. Ending up in fifth place was Bill Schanen’s J\/145 MAIN STREET.<\/p>\n

PHRF 2 Division
Winning this eight-boat division was Doug Evans’s J\/122 ELBOW ROOM. It seems that this ex-J\/109 Chicago Mackinac Race-winning team has not lost their touch after “upgrading” to the much bigger J\/122!<\/p>\n

Doublehanded Division
This shorthanded division featured ten teams of all stripes and sizes! Taking the silver medal was Ron Otto’s J\/110 TAKEDOWN 2. Just minutes behind them on corrected was Justin Acker’s J\/88 MCQUEEN.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s your ticket.\u201d \u00a0Excerpted from Boat Reviews article by Herb McCormick, Cruising World Magazine Learn more about the\u00a0J\/9 performance daysailer here: Spectacular Kieler Woche Regatta! \u00a0(Kiel, Germany)- The Kiel Week Regatta 2024 came to an end on Sunday (30 June) after extremely varied sailing races between light winds and stormy gusts. The skies were crystal clear blue for most of the nine days of predominantly warm summery, sometimes Caribbean conditions.\u00a0 "That was the new Kiel Week weather," beamed Dirk Ramhorst after two decades on the Kieler Woche team, ten of them as head of the organization. The Principal Race Officer Fabian Bach agreed, "If the level of service on the courses and shore is and remains first-class, the athletes from home and abroad will honor this with their entries." The combination of the popular sailing regatta of world renown with Northern Europe's largest summer festival is what makes Kiel Week so unique. Blessed with breeze and good weather both the J\/24 and J\/70 fleets sailed ten races!\u00a0 J\/24 ClassTwenty-five J\/24 teams participated from Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands. In the end, it was Fritz Meyer's HUNGRIGER WOLF team (Mortiz Book, Thorsen Paech, Jonas Lyssewski, and Jannik Duehren) that won with 23 pts net. Second was Stefan Karsunke's SCHWERE JUNGS crew (Christian Carstens, Malte Gibbe Luise Boehlich, and Tim Habekots) with 36 pts net. Then, rounding out the podium to complete a German sweep of the podium was Manfred Konig's VITESSE team (Tina Luelfing, Nils Glockow, Jom Harms, and Marcel Rhode) with 45 pts net. J\/70 ClassThe J\/70 class fielded a stunning entry of forty-eight teams from across Europe! It was a record turnout for any J\/one-design fleet in the history of Kieler Woche! It was a very closely fought regatta for the top of the leaderboard. Winning was Kim Christensen's Danish crew (Gustav Schwenneden, Jonas Warrer, and Mathias Lehm Sletten) on DEN 1343 with 28 pts net. The second went to Frederik Hvalso's Danish crew (Mads Larsen, Kristian Kvid Sorensen, and Morten Sogaard) on DEN 1410 with 30 pts net.

As the summer heats up, so does the competition on the water. In this issue, we bring you highlights from recent events and a preview of what's to come in the world of sailing. The Kiel Week Regatta 2024 concluded on Sunday, June 30th, after thrilling and varied races. Sailors faced everything from gentle breezes to stormy gusts under predominantly clear, blue skies. The nine-day event provided warm, summery conditions on the Baltic Sea, often reminiscent of the Caribbean, making it a memorable experience for all participants and spectators. The 85th Queen's Cup Race took place last weekend on Lake Michigan, featuring an overnight challenge from Milwaukee, WI to South Haven, MI. Organized by Milwaukee\u2019s South Shore Yacht Club and the South Haven Yacht Club, the event was a hit with the J\/Teams on Lake Michigan. The race was marked by excellent pre- and post-race festivities, ensuring a fantastic experience for all involved.\u00a0 Upcoming Events La Rochelle Nautique is set to host the J\/80 World Championship, an event that promises to be extraordinary. Following the merger of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des R\u00e9gates Rochelaises and the \u00c9cole de Voile Rochelaise, La Rochelle Nautique draws on the combined expertise and history of these two venerable sailing institutions.

Sailors and fans alike can look forward to an exceptional championship. Celebrate the LOVE of Sailing- the J\/9 Daysailer! (Newport, RI)- \u201cWith the J\/9, we set out to reimagine how to make sailing easier, more relaxing and more inclusive,\u201d said Jeff Johnstone of J\/Boats. \u201cThis is a boat you can sail by yourself in just minutes, or bring along the whole gang with plenty of room to spare. Escaping to the water and enjoying shared family adventure has never been more important, and the J\/9 is the perfect solution.\u201d The July 4th Independence Holiday weekend in America is all about celebrating family, freedom, and the joy to celebrate such experiences with family and friends around the world. \u201cWe sailed the J\/9 on a cracking fall day on Chesapeake Bay in an ideal 10 to 12 knots, and man, it did not disappoint. As advertised, the layout is simplicity personified: one hand on the tiller, the other on the mainsheet. There\u2019s no traveler, the boom is controlled by an ingenious bridle setup. There\u2019s a clear view of the B&G plotter on the coachroof, the solid Sparcraft vang aids in boom control, and lazy jacks for the main keeps everything manageable. And, the J\/9 sails like a witch, notching just shy of 7 knots hard on the breeze, and topping that number cracked off on a reach. The joy of sailing, eh?
