ADESSO VELA

Appena presentato ad Annapolis il J 111 è una di quelle barche che ci piace.
Già destinato ad un grande successo negli Stati Uniti questo 36 piedi va a competere nella fascia degli one design con cui andare a fare un bagnetto o anche una minicrociera.
Non supersonico come il Melges 32 ma sexy enough per meritare la citazione su AV.
J 111 ovvero tutto quello che avrebbe dovuto essere un X-35 se a casa Jeppesen avessero lasciato i tangoni nel dimenticatorio ed osato di più.

The J/111 is designed to be the best performing, easiest-to-sail boat of its size on the market, while offering the creature comforts needed (6' headroom) to satisfy the occasional overnight cruise. It's all about versatility and the joy of sailing - how to have the most fun out of the time and resources invested. This is the J Boats formula for success in building local one-design fleets and it’s a pretty simple formula. Generally, there aren’t enough owners in one area who can rationalize the expense of campaigning a single purpose (“non-versatile”) race boat. There may be 20-30 owners nationally who are willing to fund a traveling program to a pinnacle event like Key West Race Week, but without the versatility to appeal to many owners, local fleets never reach the critical mass needed for long-term success. The J/111 is the next generation one-design J/Boat to fulfill the legacy of its pre-decessors.
