The J-Class is by far the most stunning sailing vessels ever built.

Big, powerful, and stunningly beautiful boats - the pinnacle of sailing !

I cannot imagine anything more spectacularly beautiful in sailing than these boats.

J class boats are THE sailing boats. They are fast, but not fastest. They are elegant and beautiful. More than 60 years ago I saw a picture of J class boats and felt that they were the sailing boats. The feeling is still alive.

Sailing. Pure Sailing! No other words needed. If you know that feeling, there is nothing better in life!

Al AC races should be sailed in these majestic boats. What an incredible beautiful site to see them sail... I agree, no other words needed.

I rather see an Americas cup class with these beautiful "Jays", than the vessels of today.. The catamarans nowadays can newer compete with these classic designs and not to forget what I would call true seamanship.

As A classic yacht admirer, Lovely to see the real classics Endeavor and Shamrock in the company of their newer sisters, I do seriously dislike the black sails on these magnificent designed hulls!? These Yachts became legendary in their portraits made by Beken of Cowes, when Egyptian cotton was the luxurious material to sport. Would You change the body of A classic blue Bugatti or A red Ferrari into A black carbon fiber?

@belledetector 3 жыл бұрын

The competitive materials dictate the color. But I happen to agree with your aesthetic objections ;-)

@monsieurcommissaire1628 Жыл бұрын

The stunning Beken of Cowes photographs from the back in the day are lovely, but Egyptian Cotton is heavy sh- er, stuff, especially when it gets wet. Considering the size of a J's sails, using modern, lighter materials is understandable. I was just thinking that the Black Sails have a certain beauty of their own. I was pairing that thought with "aren't we lucky to have even one sailing example of this amazing class, but it seems there are at least five now." I'm confident that a photographer with sufficient artistic capabilities could discover beauty in the carbon black sails.

I have zero desire to race. My idea of pleasant sailing is entirely different. But it's undeniable that these J class yachts are the absolute pinnacle of elegance and beauty. If I was Bezos or one of these other mega rich people I'd have one built just to grace the earth. Forget the space dildos

Given the significant international presence, the lack of diversity - in this case meaning persons of color - is truly impressive. Considering that the territory- Bermuda - is majority black, this is perhaps the greatest display of "modern" segregation. The regatta would be more impressive with greater colors, beyond those flying on spinnakers. #racebetter #bebetter
