CCFC says - No more J/111s

[George Dewey]

I was just on the phone with CCFC buying a part, and she told me it is the last one. I asked if they are making anymore and she said no, and the J/111 is out of production, at least at CCFC. I was very surprised, given how popular this boat is. Four months ago Sailing Anarchy did a "retro" review of the 111. So I guess, it's now retro.

So any new boats will come from France?  Bummer.

Assuming the builder in France is making them, yeah.

Is CCFC switching its efforts to building the new J/9?

I think the French built boats have a different locker arrangement in the cockpit locker, are there any other differences? Anything that would be important in OD racing?

Same for the J-121.  I had one on order but it seems that CCF lost the labor talent during COVID (they had some related shut downs) to build the bigger J boats - particularly any that involved infusion.  At least that what I was told.  I ended up buying a 2018 J-121.

Thats a shame, the 121 rocks!
