apophenia 147 #12 Posted August 19, 2020 The J/90 and J/125 are universally loved because so few people have sailed them. The J/24 is universally loathed because so many people have sailed them. That said, the people who sail J/24s are among the nicest people around. One even donated their boat to my school's sailing team. If anyone tries that shit again, I'll rename the boat Gom Jabbar. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome boat, but with something like six in existence, zero fleets. Hate to admit it, but the boat I drive 2 to 3 times a week is the 24. After all these years, it still is the biggest OD fleet we have. The boats are all equally slow and it really boils down to sailing, picking the next shift, etc, and crew work. It's great fun. A real love/hate relationship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just couldn't come up with the J28 as the ugly duck. I haven't been on any of the bigger boats but I love the 24 meself. My old club had an active fleet. As Varan noted, ...

This and the 28, (same "Cruiser/Racer lineage) was a total pig. Not many were ever able to figure out the 27. Now the 33 was a rocket and 29 MOB model well sailed was very hard to beat in PHRF.

I'm not sure why people focus on LOA in judging the J/34. The 34 wasn't designed to be a fast 34 footer - it was designed to be a fast 3/4 Ton. Big difference. The 35 and 29 would both rate higher under IOR, so it would be expected they would be faster. Back then IOR was the only thing that really mattered in anything resembling serious handicap racing. And level class racing was also something you don't see today other than maybe the TP52s Mind you, it doesn't sound like the 34 was a particularly fast 3/4 Ton either. But probably faster than some slightly earlier generation 3/4 Ton pintails. Lighter with more horsepower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
