Foils make speed but elegant monohulls will forever hold my heart.

Absolutely!

J class is the shape a child would draw a yacht, but refined to such a degree it brings tears to a grown mans eyes with its breath taking beauty.

[@edbianchi8839]

There is nothing like it!!!!!!

[@erichaskell]

I understand the desire to make boats fly as in Americas cup but a return to J boats would be amazing.

[@Heavywall70]

I agree. The race was upwind to gybe and watch each boat set their respective spinnaker is like watching a giant flower bloom.

[@fabianojota]

speed increase is the first goal for a racing

[@benhortonben9105]

@@petar1008 it doesn't suck. Day 4 of the prada cup was the most exciting sailing race ive ever watched. The J class has its place in racing as so do the AC75s, I think there both here to stay.

[@BigMagoomba]

I’ve seen bigger, I’ve seen faster, I’ve seen far more high tech. But nothing, NOTHING compares to the elegant grandeur of the J’s.

[@petar1008]

Good Lord :) Definitely one of the most Beautiful things of all the things there are on this planet.

With the direction taken by America's Cup the last 10 years, this is what to watch to see some proper top notch sailing

And to think the 1930 woodies are still up there competing with the newer, metal J's. A testament to one of the finest designs ever.

[@erichaskell]

Nothing makes my heart pound like the J class.

[@davidkennedy4845]

Whales with sails. Absolutely magnificent. May not be as fast as the smaller skiff designs that plane, but there is a grace about the J class which surpasses all else.

[@williammahaffy4642]

J/K3 Alumni here.... Best part of my life. Cheers to all who remember J-Class on Tour 1990. The only 2 left. JK3 and JK4. "Imitation is the highest form of flattery".

[@user-bx3bg7ip9m]

Me too

[@FlightEagle]

I watch the majesty of these beautiful yachts racing and I am in awe. This is what the America's Cup should be about. Not those hydro-foiling monstrosities that prioritise speed over human involvement and experience.

[@philipschrantz8402]

So elegant. And the teamwork among such large crews is as impressive. Bring back the J’s…

[@bartekdabrowski4224]

That music fits perfectly for this yacht. Majestic

[@stefanschnabel2769]

Couldn't disagree more. The pictures speak for themselves. No need to attempt to add gravitas and force emotion with this unispired off-the-shelf music.

[@goldenstars8983]

Lets bring them back, this is real America's Cup racing.

[@clintonbirch9405]

New Zealand tried that back in 1988. The American's didn't want to play the same game.

[@goldenstars8983]

@@clintonbirch9405 In 1988 Australia held the cup When Dennis Connor won it back . Australia being the cup holder set the class of boat to be used. I have all four races on old VCR tape and stayed up all night watching Conner beat New Zealand 4-1 and then win the cup 4-0. Still have the tapes and player bring back some great racing and wonderful memories.

[@timothyrepp4259]

This may be heresy but I can imagine God looking down on these yachts and thinking.I may have created the universe but man has created the j boats.Well done my sons and smiles.

[@annoni-mouse318]

Stunning yachts, great idea for a video. Being picky I would have liked some of the scenes to last longer. Didn't really have time to focus on anything.

Excellent thanks for posting 📫👍, as long as there are sailboats!!!

[@fooman2108]

As much as I find the tech and short racing of the America's Cup fascinating, this is what SAILING looks like! 80 footers half length apart getting after it! No crash helmets, few cameras onboard, your EYES tell you what the boat, your direct opponent, the rest of the fleet and the WEATHER is doing! Figuring a J boat is, what, 15 million dollars that is a lot of dollars sailing together!

[@fooman2108]

@Roger Rarebit the j class for anywhere between 82 and 108 ft

[@johngregory4801]

80 footers? Try 130-140' overall length. The waterline is around 80' alone... Then there's those gracious, beautiful overhangs. I design sailboats, but never have I been able to draw a boat this beautiful.

[@francisling3196]

Reminds me of the Americas cup in Perth, watching beautiful yachts smashing through huge southern ocean swells in the sun doing 15knts, get that back on TV with today's drone technology it could be way more exciting than the 'follow the leader' F1 and football.

True, not the fastest, but the sense of power they possess, on a broad reach, under full sail is unsurpassed. Words don't do justice to the sensations of sailing in a 'J - boat'.

Back in the mid 1960s, I had the great good fortune of working as cook aboard the Cambria, one of the last remaining J class cutters. Most of what you watched in this film clip are modern reproductions. I joined the yacht's compliment in Marseilles and sailed the Cote d'Azure and Italian Riviera for several months. It was what you would imagine ... phenomenal.

They were something to see. I was out there as a spectator for both of the races that this video has been made from. It was all part of the AC35 events in Bermuda 2017. They did an offshore & an inshore race. IIRC they were supposed to do a race on the AC 35 course in the Great Sound but it was cancelled due to lack of wind. An unforgettable sight even if you are not a sailor. I am not. I agree, the clips in the video are way too short. It really does not do justice to the boats. The foiling cats are better seen on TV. I served as a spectator marshal boat skipper for the AC35 cat racing. Up close they are incredibly fast & quiet. An experience to remember but not particularly fun to do. We were the first boats out, setting down the course marker bouys with the transmitter attached that give you the lines you see on the water on TV. No the water is not marked. Under direction of the course directors we often had to move those markers mid race due to wind shifts. All interesting stuff but 6-8 hours without a break in a small18' RIB getting wet wears you down.
