2014年7月27日 · I've recently been given the opportunity to sail on a J120 for the PITCH regatta in Bellingham. I normally do bow on a j29 here in the northwest but I have no experience on A-Sail boats or 40 footers. What do I need to know about sailing these boats taking into consideration that I'll probably...

2004年1月30日 · If you'll noticed from Key West, there were 3 different PHRF ratings for the j120's. As a class they raced level but each boat had somewhat different configurations. Some boats raced with rollerfurlings, some boats had full hoist sails tack to the deck, some had adjustable car leads, some had...

2004年12月22日 · Cowes Week 2004 .. www.cowesweek.co.uk .. check results for class J-Sprit-1 This was J-Boat class for J120 and J109 (plus one or two other designs) - dominated by J109's over J120's although J120's tended to be out on charter or not seriously sailed Random Thom - curious, which J109 ? The...

2008年8月4日 · In that price range- J120 for a retractable sprit option. Solid boat for offshore, good all round in variety of conditions. Probably a number are available with some of that fleet moving up to the J-122.

2008年8月4日 · Summary: The F395 is a good looking boat, it's a fast boat, it is a fun to sail boat, it handles extremely well and feels great to drive and trim, it's cruise-able in race trim. There are not that many 40'ers that actually live up to those traits. Many claim to but fall short in a few areas.

2011年11月3日 · The J120 is a notoriously sluggish light air boat that really lights up whenthe wind picks up. Conversely, I have found the old J35 to be a spectacular light air boat -- along with the Soverals and the other lightweights like it.

2004年4月12日 · So I race out here in the Pacific Northwest and occasionally race in the J120 class. Most everybody in the J120 class sails the "Puget Sound Special" chute and all rate roughly PHRF 52-54 depending on their rig. But, we have a boat that has the oversized chute that is the same make and color as thier standard chute.

2024年6月16日 · Anyway, bragged about the owner leaving the kite on board and proceeded to beat the living shit out of a cruisified j120 in Hecate because he knew better than all the naysayers. Significant damage to boat occurred, but wasn’t more than a captain’s fault.

2004年4月28日 · The US sailing VPP program suggests much hotter angles for my J120 than I know are correct. They are especially over optimistic in the wind range of 6 to 14 knots TWS. Even Rod Johnstone says they are wrong. (yes he answered my email!) With 10 knots TWS we need to sail much deeper and slower...

2006年6月2日 · Check out the latest Sailing World article on the J-120 El Ocaso, taking PHRF boat of the week at Key West and Miami. A really well sailed boat and great competitors--probably some good tips there. Makes me wish we hadn't broken …
