That is a lot of helpful info to absorb.  I do have a Canadian address to “officially” register the boat to.  Any particular suggestion for the most economical boatyard to rig the boat after transport and launch it? After that would be a search for a club or marina that boat could be kept at for...

The boat has its own trailer and unless life plans change we would only like to bring it up for the sailing season if we end up being there for several months. The rest of the time boat can be stored here in the States on its trailer.  I have watched some regattas from the Toronto shore and...

Hoping I might be able to get some input as to what is involved to bring a J/100 up to Toronto Area for Upcoming Sailing Season.  Unfortunately, i am only a US Citizen (waiting for sponsorship from Canadian Wife).  How difficult is it to find a moorage or slip to keep the boat somewhere.  Would...

Looks like a pretty comfortable sailing platform for a family daysail.

Some recent J/9 sailing shots to share with the J/100 group.  O.W. Said it best, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...”

Some recent J/9 Sailing Shots from Newsletter. Looking Pretty, clean, and simple as promised. 

Some pics finally came out of the J/9. Interesting to see how it compares to the J/100. pics from dealer site.

From Dealer Site:

Please do share that knowledge.... what headstay length are you running? how is the new boat performing relative to the J/100 polars.  Was it worth the wait for a Sprit boat or would you have been just as happy sailing on non sprit J/100?  What electronics are you running?

Did you get one with the factory Sprit you were seeking and did it need the Speed Shop treatment?

I would say that j/100 sales are still strong even with J/9 model taking orders. A 2005 j100 with sprit just sold for 100k in RI.  Quite a few people joined the owners group on FB but would encourage anyone else with one to sign up.  My guess is most are being used for day sailing and local...

Still waiting for a Slip here in Tampa Bay Area.....  : (  

Update on J9 from local dealer. 30 sold so far... Good afternoon,   Attached is an update on the J9.   Hull #1 is scheduled to be launched in Newport towards the end of the month.   We are scheduling sea trials for early May in Newport.    Around 30 hulls have been ordered to date, and that...

While I agree with your thoughts above Black Jack, I think the ever growing demand (based on people’s realization that is all they have time for) for purpose built daysailers like the J/9 will always surpass the supply produced and the chances of finding them at $25k 15 years from now (barring...

Done..!! Officially a J/100 Sailboat Owners Group On Facebook.  Feel free to join/share/ promote the j/100. 

I have not been able to find a owners group or association for the J/100 either online or facebook.  Perhaps that was because of the lack of one design following but I think it would be nice to have access to a network of other owners and be able to share details of rigging/sails/optimizations...

Buy a J/100 and add a wheel. Problem solved. Best of both worlds. Shouldn’t cost but about 5k or less to do conversion. Will open up your options

It works for some... buy it at the right right price with boat loan... factor in boat sales skyrocketing and becoming a sellers market and u can actually make a profit after 5 years of ownership (minus your annual costs of use of course). Ask me how I know... : )

No sorry, but $20k is a strong down payment for a loan on one.
