Looks cool, but...put a god damn tiller on this thing. A wheel just looks odd... May look odd but I think the steering is fantastic with the wheel. I've sailed a couple of Transpacs and a Mexican race on a 125 and it is really great to see down the waves and have such responsive steering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tfuller 5 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I thought I might breath some life back in this thread.... The re-fit of Stark Raving Mad (Now TRY??) looks good. What I'd like to suggest to my fellow 125 owners is to get a class together for Big Boat this year, and mix it up. It will be good to see if the pedestal on TRY makes a significant difference in boat handling. Call me a purest, but one of the cool things about the 125 is the huge cockpit. I don't say that from a racing perspective, but from just hanging out on the boat where you need a place above deck for a big cooler full of beer! On that same note, I just cannot see putting a tiller on the 125 despite so many telling me that would be great. For me I'd rather stand up and look at the waves in front of me when sailing in a breeze with a kite up. Anyway, I hope to hear back from some of you considering doing the BBS. The regatta folks told me we need (6) boats to call it our own little friendly regatta, and we can haul ass around the Bay looking for T-Bone opportunities among just ourselves.

hayesrigging 0 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Whatever happened to the Raincloud (Hull #7) trailer? It would cant the boat 55 degrees for going down the road. I had many of miles with that thing in tow. Little bit of a hassle but cool trailer! Snoopy had one as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Z 1 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Lat21 may be able to comment on the trailer as his HAMACHI is ex-Aunt Jessie, ex-Raincloud. I recall seeing an image of HAMACHI on a trailer; however it was not angled but flat. As an aside I believe HAMACHI is hull #6...I think the green hulled AUGUST ICE up in Lake Tahoe is #7... I did find an image of an angled trailer and a flat trailer on the Reinrag2 (ex-Strabo) website... http://reinrag2.com/photos.htm angled is image 2 of 52 flat is image 36 of 52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roleur 519 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hamachi trailer was just used to transport Double Trouble to Key West. Definitely not angled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lat21 32 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I spent some time trying to find the Raincloud trailer without success. I heard two stories. One is that Raincloud trailer went to the the UK when she became Aunt Jessie and was left behind when Aunt Jessie came to St Martin. The other is that she was left behind somewhere on the east coast. I had a new trailer built for Hamachi in 2013 and yes, the trailer was loaned to Double Trouble for Key West and Pac Cup. Unlike the Raincloud trailer, she does not tilt. Reinrag trailer does tilt but Tom Garnier said he wouldn't go that route again as it is a lot of trouble for little benefit. Hamachi trailer has dual height bunks and can be used with keel on at 13'10" height or keel off at around 10' and minimal restrictions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hayesrigging 0 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I could be wrong about Raincloud being Hull 7. The nice thing about the trailer was it made it fully legal dimensions so you could travel 24/7 without permits. Downside is it took a bit with travel lift and fork lift/cherry picker to get the boat upright and get the keel in position. Good portion of an entire day, which days before a big event is hard to do at busy boatyards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tfuller 5 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I've been fortunate to own both a 122 and a 125 (both "Resolute"). Aside the design spec's noted above, the comparison in my mind is like a stock Ford Mustang GT (122) and a fully restored 50's vintage Porsche Spyder (125). If the two of them are side by side at the dock your first glance is likely toward the 122. It commands attention with it's visible stance and muscle. Quickly though your eyes would move to the 125, and the word that would likely pop into your head is "wow." If you knew nothing about the design difference, but were a sailor at least, you could not help but see how light it was in comparison to the 122. The narrow beam, the carbon wheel, the open transom, the rake in the rig, the huge cockpit will draw you in. The "505" like impression that would certainly come to mind will hold your attention. When hooked you could not help yourself to inquire more about what's under the hood. If you are lucky enough to go for a ride on the 125 in more than (15) knots of breeze, and you hear the word "hoist," your heart will quickly jump. At that point if there is any kind of swell, and a driver that understands the phrase "up on the step," you better hold on! In my mind the 125 is simply the coolest boat out there, and I feel a certain responsibility to keep it that way as I'm sure those old Spyder owners do. fullres 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tfuller 5 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 James3232, I first owned a 122 (original version) and sold it in '09. I bought the 125 shortly thereafter. When I bought the 122 I had no idea the 125 model existed, and the first time I ever saw a 125 I thought it looked like crap. That particular boat was in pretty bad shape, but still caught my attention. It did not look like any J Boat I'd seen prior. Granted if you find a 125 "fixer" it will cost quite a bit to trick it out, but it's worth the effort and return in my opinion. The 125 is the only boat I can think of that has gone up in value in recent years. They are just to cool and such a blast to sail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quickly though your eyes would move to the 125, and the word that would likely pop into your head is "wow." If you knew nothing about the design difference, but were a sailor at least, you could not help but see how light it was in comparison to the 122. The narrow beam, the carbon wheel, the open transom, the rake in the rig, the huge cockpit will draw you in. The "505" like impression that would certainly come to mind will hold your attention. When hooked you could not help yourself to inquire more about what's under the hood. If you are lucky enough to go for a ride on the 125 in more than (15) knots of breeze, and you hear the word "hoist," your heart will quickly jump. At that point if there is any kind of swell, and a driver that understands the phrase "up on the step," you better hold on! In my mind the 125 is simply the coolest boat out there, and I feel a certain responsibility to keep it that way as I'm sure those old Spyder owners do. fullres As a former Porsche cup car racer I will stop by and look at the boat in SE FL. Sounds exciting Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wish i had the resources to pull off the moves he's made the last three years. So what happens to Evo then? Didn't like it that Details was selling so wanted to get out as well?

How are these 20 year old boats still selling for 300K? Any other 20 yo race boat would be worth pennies on the dollar. Anyone know what the last one sold for? It's a good fit for someone I know, but I'm not sure I can justify the pricetag when they can get a Ker40 for the same $$. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom O'Keefe 167 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Thing is they still win races and they are a blast to sail. Just a little small for a 6'5" guy racing offshore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do great about a Ker40? Are you racing in the Solent? Have Ker40's proved themselves on the West Coast? If you can't justify the price tag of a J/125, then go get your Ker40.

Ker 40's have a great IRC rating and are much more boat than a j125. Downside is operating costs of a Ker 40 are way above what a 125 would be. I guess you're right in that all it comes down to is what someone else will pay for it. Was just struck by how well they've held their value when compared to a more traditional raceboat. I guess that's just the J cool aid. It's well documented here that I have disdain for the J's, but the 125 is a great fit in this instance and I can't deny that...
