CRUISING AS RACING
Anyone who has seen one of the incredible regatta races featuring the new generation of J-class yachts knows how these giants capture the thrill of racing and the grandeur of yesteryear.
The Claasen success story has also been driven by the ability to offer a truly customized approach to boat building. This is hugely appreciated by the growing number of proud Claasen owners
THE MIGHTY J-CLASS REVIVAL
Anyone who has seen one of the incredible regatta races featuring the new generation of J-class yachts knows how these giants capture the thrill of racing and the grandeur of yesteryear.
The J-class revival started in earnest several years ago when the J-class Association decided to allow aluminium to be used in hull construction. A new handicap system was developed to allow new Js to race competitively alongside older ones, under the condition that they be built based on existing designs from the 1930s.
Claasen Shipyards has been in the vanguard of this development, and has built one new J-class yacht and has crafted the hulls of three more. For more information about the J-Class, please visit the website of the J-Class association here www.jclassyachts.com
