J/99 BLUR walk-trough in Les Sables-d'Olonne

[@ohnezuckerohnefett]

Fantastic boat Peter, can't wait to see it in action.

[@tomasis7]

a very cool boat! :D

[@NoToBigBro]

So many videos of you in various boats, but you always seem to revert back to J111. J99!!!

[@alexandermenck6609]

Halyard locks, the 3d jib setting, carbon mast… pretty much a standard J/99 😂. What would a modified J/99 look like then? Rating probably a 0.985 😅😅😅 under ORC?

Jättefin. Lycka till !

[@SaKuLification]

Congratulations on the new boat! Awesome spec on the J/99, especially the hayard lock for the jib. Is there also one for the Code sails and are there only top spinnakers or also fractional ones (A3)? Judging by the shorter prod and symmetric spi I assume it's optimized for IRC? Any particular reason for that, since you are based in the baltic or is the boat going to stay in France?

[@PeterGustafsson]

All downwind sails (S2+A3+code 0) are masthead. We're doing a more serious double-handed campaign with IRC focus (RORC Baltic 600, Fastnet, ...) so this is a better tool for that job. We're going to do some racing in France before we bring it back.

Auguri per il tuo nuovo j99 bellissimo, potrei sapere cosa hai usato per sigillare la base d'albero per risolvere il problema dell'acqua. Saluti e buon vento spero di vedere un tuo video con il nuovo blur.

@@cosmamaiorano8458 haven’t figured that out yet. Probably PROtect Vulc Tape or similar.

@@PeterGustafsson Thanks Peter, I am the owner of a j99 and specifically hull number 75, I was asking you about the mast base because I have been looking for a solution to the passage of water for some time. Nice changes you made for precision adjustments.

@@cosmamaiorano8458 Nice. Loved it when we were there with the J/111 in 2022. Hope to go back!

looks fast

Hi Peter, what was your rational to switch to the J99? Enjoy the sailing and regards from Spain!

[@PeterGustafsson]

@@kiketabarventura we’re going to do a more serious doublehanded campaign under IRC. Love the 111, but this is a better tool for that job.
