JK7 Velsheda (named for William Stephens daughters, Velma, Sheila and Daphne) is an original 129 foot 143 ton steel 1933 racing yacht built by Camper and Nicholsons though she now has a 173' carbon mast and carbon rigging. J5 Ranger is a replica of the 1937 Ranger, she was built in 2003 of aluminium and has a 177' carbon mast. Both masts by Southern Spars of New Zealand.

Beautiful wave making showing how the waterline lengthens with healing The hull design is probably the only shape that the economical speed is equal to the length of the vessel.

@SailGroove894 "Ate" as in "hate"? The Johnstone J series of boats (22,24, 80, 105, 111, 120, etc.) have nothing to do with these J Class boats, it's just a coincidence in name.
