They made it back to port but you wonder how. Many of the J120s with a hull number less than 25 have had that happen to them. The first 24 boats were built with the floor grid being added after the hull had cured and it would break free in a heavy sea state. After hull 24 the grid was laid up at the same time as the hull and the were infused at the same time.

Anyone know what hull #  Jameerah is?  

I know Rudy Hasl's J120 Hassle Free had that happen to it. It was hull # 17 or 18. J Boats knew they were a problem but was keeping the matter a secret from the owners.

The photo was given to me being represented to be Jameerah.

The article Matagi link clearly states they hit something while racing Fasnet…so we can dispense with the “random” keel falls off boat stuff

I didn’t mean you/your comments, and I too prefer my keel stays on even after I hit something  :eek:

In reality, I likely mixed up comments from the 40.7 thread on SA… :unsure:
