take another step up
Never resting, always pushing, we’ve updated our V6 mainsail with a finer entry and a
little less luff curve. That means more girth, making the sail faster in lighter winds and downwind.
Depowering is easier too. The draft stays where it is designed and responds quickly to backstay
adjustments. Still made with high-quality, yarn-tempered cloth.
all J/22 sails are in stock and ready for immediate delivery. You could be
faster by the weekend! contact one of our J/22 class experts or

Letter from the President
As I am sitting at my desk writing this letter, another Nor’easter is bearing down on the East
Coast. I am hoping this is the last of the winter storms, and we are then on to spring weather
and lots of great sailing.
I had the opportunity to stop by Davis Island, FL while attending a business function in Florida
with my husband, and I greeted the Midwinter J/22 sailors as they came off the water on their
first day. I watched as the fleet sailed in after four races during a 70-degree day with blue skies
and a steady breeze. Due to an injured shoulder, I could not sail and needless to say I was very
bummed! The J/22 sailors were treated to a lovely setting, picturesque club and wonderful
hospitality. A large shout out to all the sailors who made the road trip and who had a great time
at this event!
Next up is Charleston Race Week. A big thanks to Greg Fisher who has once again offered to
help us with special J/22 launching and trailer storage at James Island YC and free docking
in the College of Charleston Basin. If you have not already done so, please sign up as soon as
possible.
Springtime also means sailing in the three-day Annapolis NOOD Regatta. There should be a
good turn-out this year since sailors are already talking about the 2014 North Americans being
hosted by Annapolis YC next October.
If you have been reading the website, you are very aware of two major J/22 sailing events in
2013: the International Women’s Keelboat Championship in Marblehead, MA and the J/22
World Championships in Newport, RI. Brand new Waterline boats will be available to charter
for both events. The IWKC event chairs have been working hard to provide a great regatta,
hoping to have 40 J/22s with women of all ages and sailing experiences attending the event.
There is also a lot of buzz about the Worlds in October. This is the 30th anniversary of our boat,
and we are hoping some of the old guard who started our fleet will race that week and share
their stories and experiences. If you are looking to promote and advertise your business, what
better way than becoming a sponsor for either of these events!
At our recent meetings, the J/22 Class Officers have discussed ways to increase participation in
local fleets and also to encourage sailors to travel to larger regattas. Making the event FUN on
and off the water is a major way to promote and expand our fleet sailing. Adding awards (such
as Best Dressed, Mid-fleet, All Women, Masters, Youngest Skipper, All Family, Farthest and
First Time Participant Awards) expands the number of winners on Awards Night. Our District
Governors will also be helping to update the list of fleets, the fleet captains, J/22 owners and
email addresses in their districts so we can communicate with all who sail a J/22.
Lastly, if you have not already done so, please renew your membership and support our Class
Association. Some sailors have asked me, “What do my dues pay for?” Dues, along with a
portion of royalty sails, support our Class Office services, currently staffed by Chris & Julie
Howell. They maintain all financial and membership records, distribute sail royalty and membership stickers, organize content and sell advertizing for the quarterly newsletters, maintain
the web and Facebook sites, and serve as administration for the Class Board of Directors. The
Class Office also advises major regatta organizers about the Class expectations for event hosts
and does public relations/marketing for the Class in many ways including (but not limited to)
onsite support of major events like World/National and Midwinter regattas. The Class Office
also helps purchase templates for the measurer, scales, and maintains a high standard of the
one-design rules. All of these combined services maintain a viable Class Association that ultimately secures the value of each J/22. Wow! I think that is well worth the price.
I am looking forward to seeing you out on the racecourse.
To great breezes and fun sailing,
Sandy Adzick, USJ22CA President

Allan Terhune Triumphant as
J/22 Midwinter Champion
Allan Terhune controlled the
competition at the J/22 Midwinter
Championship to win by 14 points.
Racing Dazzler with Katie Terhune,
Jeff Linton and Louise Neuberger,
Terhune dropped his lowest score of
only 4 and kept a line of 3,1,1,1,1,1,2
for just 10 points in the eight race series.
He was quick to praise the host Davis
Island Yacht Club, saying “We couldn’t
have had a better three days of sailing—
warm, good breeze, challenging and
fun!”
Chris Doyle of Kenmore, NY finished in second place with
24 points, and Casey Lambert of Seabrook, TX came in
third with 28 points. The Maryland-based Dazzler led from
day one in the 15-boat fleet, and Terhune voiced that it was
“unfortunate for anyone who missed this fun regatta. The
Race Committee was great, and the social events were all
fun.” The J/22 Class is gearing up for its 30th anniversary
with a World Championship this October in Newport,
RI. Terhune was happy to start off his year in such an
exciting manner. “We were able to work on our teamwork
and tuning, and start off the season right,” Terhune said.
“We’ve started our road to Worlds!”
Terhune dashed to the lead on the first day when ideal
conditions greeted the competitors with breeze starting at
6 knots and building all day to 16, under sunny skies and
temperatures in the low 70s. Four races were completed,
and Doyle began the regatta with a victory before it was
Terhune’s turn to grab the win. As the winds built, Doyle
excelled to take race three, while Terhune ended the day
successfully.
In each of Friday’s three races, Terhune claimed victory
to take a commanding lead. Conditions began around
6 knots, and built slightly with puffs around 12. In the
final day of racing on Saturday, winds averaged around
14 knots in race eight, and then increased to a sustained
28 so race nine was abandoned. Terry Flynn’s Tejas won
the day’s only contest.

Winner’s Debrief
with Allan Terhune
It would be hard for anyone who attended this year’s
Midwinters to say that they did not have a good time or
that Davis Island Yacht Club did not put on a good show.
For all of those who missed it, you missed out on a great
week, and I would be sure to add DIYC to your calendar
whenever you have the opportunity. We had plenty of food
and drink, gracious hospitality and of course top flight racing. While there were only 15 boats, the racing was very
competitive and fun.
Day 1 was the warmest of the three days, and we had nice
8-12 knots of breeze which allowed the RC to get 4 races
in. While it was a long day of sailing, it was fun to get that
many HIGH QUALITY races in. Chris Doyle and our team
were each able to win 2 races and hold the top two spots
that night. After sailing, there was plenty of free beer and a
nice Cuban dinner provided by the club.
Day 2 we had very shifty puffy winds ranging from 5-15
knots. This provided exciting sailing with constant lead
changes and everyone having their “moment in the sun” in
each race. We were fortunate enough to win all 3 races on
Friday, which gave us a nice cushion after 7 races.
Day 3 turned into a one-race day. Terry Flynn won the first
(and only) race of the day by a large margin. The RC tried
to get the ninth race of the series in, but the wind started to
blow 25-30+ and they smartly decided to abandon.

Again, thanks to DIYC for a great event. We cannot
wait to come back. I want to thank my team, which
consisted of my wife Katie, Jeff Linton and Louise
Neuberger. The three of them did a great job all regatta, and kept us going fast and out of trouble. This was
a great lead up to the Worlds for us.
We had a few lessons learned this week, that, while
we probably already knew these things, seemed to
come back to us as the regatta went along.
- The J/22 likes to be FLAT. While at times it
may not feel right, the boat is actually going
really fast. More heel tends to make the helm
feel better, but the boat is probably sliding
sideways.
-
When you adjust your backstay or traveler,
remember to check your mainsheet as well.
The backstay changes the profile of the leech
dramatically and will almost always require a
mainsheet adjustment afterwards.
-
When sailing in shifty and puffy conditions,
remember to sail from where you are on the
racecourse, not where you think you should
be. If you “chase” puffs all around the course,
generally you will miss them all and end up
losing more.
-
There is no substitute for good boat handling.
Those teams that tack and gybe really
smoothly and also get in and out of the marks
cleanly gain lots of distance. There is strong
value to having practice time and getting all
of your maneuvers down.
-
Rig tension on the J/22 is key. When the
team is not fully hiking, we have found that
erroring on the loose side is a better bet; but
once you are fully hiked all the time, you
can start erroring on the slightly tighter side,
especially in flat water.
Hope this all helps…we look forward to seeing everyone this summer and in Newport!

Blind Pig’s Journey to the
2013 J/22 Midwinter
Championship
By Jim Thompson, Blind Pig v2.0, CAN USA 978,
Michigan’s Tawas Bay J/22 Fleet #44
The journey to Davis Island Yacht Club for the 2013 J/22
Midwinter Championship started when Ryan Flack decided
to list Blind Pig v1.0 for sale on the J/22 Class site. The
boat sold in four days, and we were left scrambling to find
a replacement. After considering boats from Baltimore,
Annapolis, Cape Cod and Dallas, we settled on CAN 978
in Toronto, Ontario. On February 15, Ryan, Trey Rose, and
I set out from Fenton to pick up the new boat. 10 hours, 2
Tim Horton’s stops, and a trip to the Duty Free later found
us back in the US and in possession of Blind Pig v2.0. We
spent the rest of the weekend replacing deck hardware and
fixing some minor issues. We still had work to do, but we
decided it could wait until we were in Florida and able to
wear shorts.
The drive down was pretty mundane. We did manage to
meet up with my younger brothers for lunch in Atlanta,
GA. Both are recently back from overseas deployments
care of the US Army. The neighborhood was interesting, to
say the least, but a good meal, some catching up, and we
were back on the road. It was only three hours, but so cool
it all worked out.
We rolled into my parents’ house in Hudson, FL about 2am
on Sunday morning. Breakfast, a trip to West Marine (one
of many), and we were ready to finish getting Version 2.0
ready to race. You wouldn’t think it would take three days
to get the boat ready, but CAN 978 had spent the last two
years in Toronto stored uncovered so she was dirty. PIG
DIRTY!
Tuesday, Trey sent us the “Travel Advisory” email he
received from Spirit. We texted, we chatted, we called
Spirit. Eventually we were able to get Trey on the 7:55pm
flight on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. It wasn’t easy, but
Trey finally arrived in Florida around midnight Tuesday.
We all got up early on Wednesday and didn’t eat - we
were right on the limit, and breakfast might spoil it for us.
Little did we know they were going to use the Davis Island
Yacht Club Scale from God. I know we all lost weight for
this regatta, but I know we didn’t lose THAT much. We
got the boat weighed and measured (thank Chris Howell),
splashed her and headed out for Blind Pig v2.0’s maiden
sail. It was uneventful, but good to get her wet and get our
feet wet. Wednesday evening was the Competitors Meeting

coupled with tasty food and beer. Lots of food and beer
was definitely a theme of the regatta, and there was never a
shortage of either. Each day, DIYC served us hot breakfast,
beer and food after racing, and it was all included in the
regatta entry fee.
Race Day 1 started in 6-8 knots. The Race Committee
started us on time and sent us off at 285° @ 0.8 nm. We
were OCS - NOT a good way to start the regatta. We dug
into the right side looking for some pressure. Unfortunately
there was not much to be had, and the leaders—Art Silcox
on Folka, followed by Chris Doyle on The Jug 4 1, and
Allan Terhune on Dazzler—led around the first mark. We
were able to hook into a nice left shift on the second beat
to get around a few boats and came home a disappointing
11th. In the end, Silcox slid to second behind Doyle, with
Dazzler coming home third.
Race 2 started with slightly more pressure from 305°, but
found us in equally dire straights coming off the line. We
weren’t OCS, but we started right to weather of Dazzler.
Terhune went into a high mode we could not hang with,
and we were soon looking to clear our air. The left paid
again, and we rounded deep. Again we were able to make
some gains on the second beat and recorded our second
straight 11th. Terhune, joined by his wife Katie, and Tampa
locals Jeff Linton and Louise Neuberger won race 2,
followed by a well-deserved second for Richard Heausler

on Fast Company, with Chris Doyle coming home third.
We had a much better start in race 3 and held our lane as
we headed out to the left side. We hooked in a little left
shift and took the opportunity to get right. We did a nice job
connecting the pressure dots and came into the top mark
in fifth place. Doyle was first around, followed by Folka,
Casey Lambert on Blackburn Marine, and Dazzler. On the
next beat, the Ullman boys on 754 managed to get around
us, but we hung tough for a nice sixth.
The forecast for Saturday did not look promising so PRO
Mike Dawson took the opportunity to run a fourth race – a
five-legger. We started in the pin third of the line and had a
decent start. The Jug was called OCS and Dazzler blitzed
the fleet, finishing half a leg ahead of second. We rounded
the top mark after a strong beat in fifth place. A strong
second lap and a final beat to windward allowed us to get
around 754 and come home in a solid fourth place.
At the end of day one, Dazzler was out front with 9 points,
followed by The Jug 4 1 with 11, and Blackburn Marine
with 15. Blind Pig was sitting in eighth place on 32
points and just three points out of seventh. The evening’s
festivities included lots of free beer and a buffet of Caesar
salad, baked chicken, pulled pork, and beans and rice.
Friday started out with the breeze at around 020° at 6-8
knots. The RC started us on time, and we got off the line
fairly cleanly and were able to hold our lane. We got a
bit of a header and decided to head left. It was painful so
we flopped back onto port tack and watched as a 40° left
hander rolled in from the left. We rounded in sixth, with
boats like The Jug and Blackburn hurting from being on
the right. We managed to get around Galen Freeman on
Hot Ruddered Bum on the next upwind leg and came home
fifth. Terhune once again crushed the fleet.
After Race 6, we would get a throw-out. The race itself is
a bit of a blur, but we were battling throughout with James
Rawlings. On the last run, we gybed for clear air hoping
their close battle would slow them down. It nearly worked
out for us, but we ran out of leg and finished ninth. Dazzler
won again to put them 6 points clear of Doyle and 14 points
ahead of Lambert and Flynn. Race 7 was more of the same
for the gang on Dazzler. A 12th by Doyle, and the regatta
was nearly won with two more races to go. In challenging
conditions, Terhune had managed to win four straight races.
Après sailing consisted of more free beer and a chili bar.
We had a few beers and then headed for my brother and
sister-in-law’s house about 30 minutes north of the Yacht
Club. Grilled steak, a crawdad boil (you’re welcome
Trey), peel and eat shrimp, and fresh chocolate dipped
strawberries awaited our arrival. After dinner it was time
for a few more beers, a dip in the 55° lanai pool (WOW
that’s cold), and it was time for GoKarts. Tampa Grand Prix
was very accommodating, and some shenanigans ensued.
Finally we decided it was time for sleep. If the RC decided
to send us out it was going to be interesting, and we were
going to need our rest.
The forecast for Saturday was NW winds at 20-30 knots.
The forecast would come true, eventually. The RC set the
weather mark at about 045°, but before they could get the
start off they went into postponement. The breeze built into
the low teens and backed to the NW again. On the second
try, we NAILED the start—mid-line with good speed, a
nice hole to leeward and Blackburn Racing on our weather
hip. We were in full-on point mode and able to flush them
right. We got a nice left shift and took that opportunity to
head right. Flynn was first around and led wire to wire.
We rounded the top mark in fifth, but the decision to gybe
set would eventually cost us three boats. We started the
final upwind in eighth place, but in touch with Folka,
Moonlighting, and just in front of Ex-Taz. Near the finish,
we got a nice knock and puff and tacked for the finish. We
came into the finish in nice pressure and slightly overstood.
Up ahead, 754 fouled The Jug as they tried sneaking in
at the pin and had to do turns. Folka was coming in on
starboard and has us dead to rights. We didn’t have room to
duck, and if we tacked we would miss the line. Instead of
forcing us to tack, they tacked on Moonlighting. A bad tack
from Folka, and we managed to sneak across the line in
front of all three boats for a nice come-from-behind fifth.
We sailed back downwind for the last race of the regatta.
A second place by Dazzler locked up first place so they
headed in. We had a nice start to race 9, and about two
minutes in found us in a 40° left shift and breeze in the
upper 20s. Eventually the RC abandoned the race and
requested we return to the starting area. After much
consideration, we decided to win the race to the hoist and
didn’t turn back. After a few minutes, the RC decided
against retrying race 9 and called racing for the day. We
got the boat on the trailer, rig down and ready to hit the
road. More free beer, burgers and hot dogs, a prize for
every competitor and crew, and the 2013 J/22 Midwinter
Championship was in the books. A textbook regatta by
Allan and crew meant Doyle’s winning streak was over.
Dazzler won 5 of the 8 races, and threw out a fourth to
win easily. Blind Pig ended up in eighth. Our 11s in the
regatta’s opening two races were too much to overcome.
We certainly feel like we got better as the regatta went on
and are happy with eighth in a very deep fleet (pros on five
of the top six boats).
A big thank you goes out to all of the volunteers at Davis
Island Yacht Club. They made sure we all had what we
needed, and there was never a shortage of beer or food.
Also, thanks to Chris Howell for measuring Blind Pig
v2.0 and taking my mom out on his RIB on Saturday. We
also owe a huge thank you to my mom, dad, and SIL Soo
who made sure we were well taken care of and well fed
when we weren’t at the club. Finally, thanks to Ryan, Trey,
my wife Peg, and Ryan’s wife Jennifer for making this
possible. Ryan, Trey, and I learned a lot. We work well
together, always have fun, and like sailing with each other.
Blind Pig 2.0 is a great boat, and I am truly lucky to get to
sail her. We left after the awards on Saturday, and Ryan was
home in time for family dinner on Sunday night. Without
our understanding wives, we never would have been able to
pull this off.
If you own or sail on a J/22, you should know you missed
an excellent regatta. Big shifts and big puffs were the norm,
but the RC did a great job keeping things square and fair,
and the weather was great. This October, the J/22 Class is
celebrating its 30th Anniversary with a Worlds in Newport,
RI. We need to do everything we can to make sure the
regatta is EPIC, and that means we need you traveling with
your J/22.

That is the same with
Newport; it’s my

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
October 1-5, 2013
ISAF Approves
Rule Changes
Effective March 1, 2013
By Terry Flynn, US Technical Committee Chair
CLASS ASSOCIATION
ISAF has approved the J/22 Rule changes
listed in the adjoining document, effective
March 1, 2013. Many of the alterations were
clerical, but there are a few things you need
to note, including the biggest change of line
diameter minimums. The thinking here is
that technology has improved the effective
strength of available line materials. The rule,
as it was written, required line diameters that
were overkill in most areas. Another change
states that you must now carry a dedicated
tow line. While many Classes require an engine for safety reasons, the J/22 Class has
avoided that requirement for obvious reasons—but there is a concern that you must
be prepared for a tow when it’s needed. In
the best case scenario, the line will be a floating material and available at short notice. As I
said, many of the other changes were clerical
or adding language to allow things that are
already common practice. One other significant issue refers to electronic equipment. The
Technical Committee has made a ruling to allow the Velocitek Speed Puck and the Novasail
NS 100 specifically as an attempt to meet the
requests of the members. These two products
were approved because they are GPS devices
that do not have the starting line feature. The
manual speed equipment is already approved
in the rules, so in an effort to stay current, the
Class wanted to allow these relatively lowpriced speed-indicating devices even though
the Class has avoided GPS devices in the past.
This ruling is not listed in the Rules, but in the
Technical Committee Rules document found
on the US and International websites.
The Technical Committee always has issues to
work through, and your help is needed. The
Committee would like to add a few members
to continue to update the Rules when necessary. If you are interested in helping with
the J/22 Technical Committee, please contact
Christopher Howell at [email protected].

of the Rules are satisfied.
2.9.7 Any alleged or suspected alteration(s) to the configuration or design of the
hull, deck, keel, rudder, fittings or spars of a yacht for which specific
descriptions are not stated in the rRules or sSpecifications, or following a
protest concerning the same, shall be compared by a Measurer appointed
by the IJ22CA to a sample of ten other yachts. The disputed yacht shall be
accepted if she does not show any evidence of having been altered and if
she has dimensions equal to or between those of the maximum and
minimum dimensions obtained from the sample of ten yachts. If there is
evidence of any alterations having been made or if the dimensions are
greater or less than those of the maximum and minimum obtained from
the sample of ten yachts, the matter shall be referred to the Protest
Committee for action.

Why I love J/22s
Jeff Eiber, Crew, Cleveland, OH
On windy days it’s physically demanding to trim the
jib and chute, and hike hanging on to the jib sheets.
It’s a thorough workout–it’s never like a boring session lifting weights, and it’s much more worthwhile
than hanging over a lifeline like a piece of wet laundry.
Because the hull is easily heeled by weight placement,
in light air correct weight movement during roll tacks
and gybes is rewarded with good boat speed. And in
a straight line light air sailing, small adjustments in
weight are critical for speed. You’re not just sitting on
your ass doing one job. You have to be on your feet,
feeling the heel of the boat and constantly moving to
maintain top speed by steering with your weight while
focusing on going the right way. Heavier boats with
static crew are just much less satisfying since the crew
rarely move as a team to respond to small changes in
heel angle. With just two or three crew, you need to
be doing a couple things at the same time all day long.
The more you can think about and do, the quicker you
get around the course. The J/22 is sailable in a very
wide range of conditions so you’ll rarely go to a regatta and sit out an entire day of sailing because it’s too
windy or too light or the waves are too big. When you
commit to a J/22 regatta, you know you’re going to get
a couple or more days packed with sailing.
Terry Flynn, Quantum Sails, League City, TX
When I got the note from Chris about my favorite
things I like about the J/22 Class, I thought, how easy
is this? BEER, Regatta BEER, Cold BEER. But then
I started to think a little deeper, and so my answer
would have to be Paul’s wife. No that would make
Julie jealous, so I guess I better not put that in the article. But to get a bit more serious, it has to be the people. Going to a regatta in the J/22 Class is more like a
family reunion. This Class seems to attract the nicest
sailors. I remember (as my kids say) back in the day,
having all the kids playing together at regattas while
the adults had a few cold ones, going over the day’s
events. Now most of them are sailing and own boats
of their own. The Class has done a great job of starting
debriefs after the day’s racing, and this helps improve
the whole Class but also makes it a friendlier group. 18

I enjoyed my first regatta in the J/22 in 1982 (or was
it 1983?) at the North Americans in Marblehead.
While there were only nine boats at that early event,
there sure was talent (Kenny Read for one!), and it
was obvious that the J/22 was a great boat with a
tremendous future. Since that point, I have sailed 4
Worlds, probably 8 or 9 North Americans and 9 or 10
Midwinters. I have been long sold on the qualities of
the boat—it’s fast, easy to race with family (most of
my racing includes my wife Jo Ann and my daughter
Martha). While the J/22 demands some careful tuning
to reach top speed, the Class’s enthusiastic and supportive sailmakers have laid out detailed guides on
step-by-step set-up. The Class organization has always
been first class…and has obviously contributed to
some great years of growth. Chris and Julie Howell
have always not only been totally engaged in every
event they attend, they have religiously worked above
and beyond to ensure everyone and everything is well
taken care of. I think their support has meant a lot to
the J/22 Class. Now I am the Director of the Sailing
program at the College of Charleston. Interestingly
enough, one of our fleets of 54 sailboats is comprised
of 10 J/22s…over 25 years old! How many one design
classes can boast that kind of durability!? These boats
have the original rudders, masts and deck hardware…
the spreaders and bulkheads were reinforced and that is
all that has been updated since they were placed in service for our very busy sailing association. By the way,
these boats are used almost daily for our PE classes,
our recreational program, and we hold 5-8 regattas a
year where they are raced hard…pretty impressive that
they are still our cornerstone of our entire program.
While there are a number of one designs out there
(some recently introduced), few have the history, the
longevity and the management that has always made
the J/22 such a superb boat to race. Count me in for a
bunch more years! And by the way, we just ordered 10
more new boats to be delivered next fall, and I am convinced this is the wisest decision I’ve made at my new
job here with the College of Charleston!
Brad Julian, 36, former college sailor at USMMA,
Annapolis, MD
When asked “What makes you like the J/22 over other
alternatives?” I always find myself summing it up with
four main themes: they are relatively low cost, simple,
highly competitive and full of great people. We bought
our J/22 (USA 677) when I was in my late 20s, shortly
after getting married but right before kids—I guess
a time in life when you find yourself with a little bit
extra spending money coming in but, at least for most
of us at that age, you’re not quite “rollin’ in it.” After
taking several years off from sailing since college and
moving back to the Annapolis area, we were looking to
get back out on the water—but in a sort of grown-up,
yet still beer-drinking down-to-earth class with strong
numbers and solid competition. The J/22 was the obvious choice. In fact, I don’t think we even looked at
other classes all that seriously. With over 1,600 boats
in production in the US since the 70s, it means there is
a large secondary market for used boats. Between the
used market and the cost-conscious Class Rules (like
no exotic high cost sail materials, or construction compounds, etc.), it makes the fleet very affordable even
for those who may still be wet behind the ears from
college. The simplicity of one design, trailer-able, and
well-built boats was also attractive to me to keep the
maintenance issues at bay. However, I was pleasantly
surprised to learn that behind the simplicity is still a
rather sensitive and finicky platform that takes lots of
time and practice to learn how to squeak every ounce
of speed from. In fact, even with a junior sailing and
college sailing background, it took more than a couple
of years to get to the point where I think we can be
just as competitive, speed and boat handling wise, as
those who have been dominating the Class for a long,
long time! That brings me to the last point about the
people. Not only does the J/22 help you sail with your
friends (and if you’re lucky your spouse or children),
but there is also a great mix of “old guard” who pass
down knowledge to “middies” such as myself (with a
few years now in the Class but not quite double digits
yet) and those who are just starting out. But no matter
what phase of class evolution one is in, I am always
impressed with how well the group gets along on and
off the water.
Tom Linville, Chief Measurer, Weems, VA
What’s so great about a J/22? In a word, it’s a very
versatile sailboat, in the sense that it’s suitable for all
aspects of sailing. It spans whatever sort of sailing
you aspire to, from junior training in a keelboat, family day-sailing, community or club sailing programs
including fleet racing, right up to serious regional
regattas and high levels of competitive racing at continental and world levels. This is proven by the facts
that the J/22 is THE keelboat chosen by many sailing
programs as well as major international competitions.
So it has a universal appeal. Why is this so? There are
many factors, beginning with affordability—one can
find good used boats starting around $5,000 with sails
and a trailer. While these are good for routine sailing,
some may need a few upgrades, such as hull finishing
and new sails, in order to be suitable for local competition. Excellent used boats in racing condition can be
found for around $8,000, and all-up new boats with
new sails and trailer cost about $35,000. Given the type
of performance the J/22 delivers, there is hardly a better bargain available among one-design sailboats. That
last term is significant, as the Class Rules enumerate
specific characteristics that keep all the boats virtually identical, so that older boats compete successfully
against the very newest ones. The boat is easy to sail,
as it is exceptionally responsive as well as very stable,
and it is quite rugged and safe. If handled properly,
it is safe in fairly significant wind strengths, e.g., up
to 25 knots, and if knocked down it has wide enough
decks that it will not swamp, and will right itself. This
stability is the result of being a sturdy keelboat, yet it
handles like a dinghy. Simply stated, this boat is FUN!
In addition to just being a great boat to sail, it is easily
trailerable. It weighs less than a ton fully-rigged, and
a mid-size car can tow it quite easily, although most
serious road travelers opt for a pickup truck, van, or
SUV. It is generally launched from a hoist, but there
are trailers designed for ramp launching. To top off
the boat itself, there is the association of owners—the
International J/22 Class Association. It pays to belong,
as you can keep up with all the Class news including scheduled events, results, rules and specifications,
tips for maintaining, handling, racing your boat, etc.
The Class is managed by owners who volunteer for
office, and administered by an exceptional professional Executive Secretary. And, if you travel around
the Class to local fleet events or major regattas, you
will find a very congenial group of sailors, many of
whom will become your long-time friends. This group
I n t e r n a t i o n a l
J / 2 2

A s s o c i a t i o n

includes weekend sailors up to sailing professionals,
all of whom thoroughly enjoy the J/22, and will go out
of their way to make the boat enjoyable for you too.
Some of us have been sailing various one-design boats
for over 50 years, and know that the J/22 is the best of
them all! It’s just a perfect design and a truly GREAT
LITTLE KEELBOAT!
The ladies love the J/22 too!
Sandy Adzick
This will be my 18th year sailing a J/22, and I am
still loving it! I found a boat that reacts quickly,
has the response of a small dinghy, but also has the
comfort of a keelboat. I can plane and surf down
7 ft. waves, and the next day have the hiking stick
lightly balanced between three fingers as I steer my
way upwind in a 6-8 knot breeze. The J/22 is easy
to ready for travel and small enough to trail behind
my SUV to the next away regatta. It’s a boat that
is easy for teaching, from the first-time sailor to
those who want to refine their racing skills. Women
and men of all ages can skipper and crew together
on this boat. I usually sail with a total of four on
board, the more the merrier, and still under the
maximum crew weight. There are many times I
race with an all womens’ crew, and we can be just
as competitive as the men on the race course. It
is the fun that my crew and I have on and off the
water that really defines what sailing a J/22 is all
about! It’s a great group of sailors who enjoy the
camaraderie, the competition, the helpful hand, the
sharing of knowledge, and the fun of sailing that
day.
While sailing the J/22, you enjoy the best of many
worlds. The boat is large enough for a comfortable
crew of 3-4, and small enough to easily trail. Subtle
and continuous adjustments in sail shape, rigging,
and steering are imperative to compete on this boat,
which also allows for quick and agile maneuverability. The J/22 Class is a competitive group of
sailors who love to travel and race in all different
locations and conditions.
I n t e r n a t i o n a l
Folks of all ages have fun on the J/22—juniors
to seniors. It’s an affordable boat for family fun
and club sailing with a simple choice of sails, sailing with 3 or 4 people, and is easy for all women
crew as well. It’s very diversified, as the J/22 is
found with high level competition such as the NAs
in Michigan last year, team racing, and of course
a terrific match racing boat. A talented sailing
friend told me in big breeze, just drive it down
with the kite up and she’ll hum and purr, and it is
so true. The J/22 is very much a dinghy but easy to
control, and a terrific boat to learn on. Great for all
levels.
Hilary Armstrong
I like to race J/22s because they are relatively comfortable; and being a bow person, I like the toe rail
on a J/22. It helps me know where the boat’s edge
is which helps me to stay on it! I like it because the
team works so closely together. The close proximity allows for more and better communication and
creates more camaraderie. Sara Crawshaw

I enjoy the J/22 more than other boats because it’s
easy to maneuver and can sail nicely in light and
heavy wind conditions. Vicky Tai
I like that you can have people of varying skill levels sailing it, and each position still has an integral
part to sailing the boat well. It has a little of everything—weight distribution, spinnaker work, sail
trim—for a boat that is so responsive to all of these
things, it keeps it exciting.

Sail Newport Purchases a New US Watercraft Fleet of J/22s
By Sarah Angell, Waterline Systems
I had the fortunate chance to speak with Brad Read,
the Executive Director of Sail Newport, regarding
the new J/22 fleet purchase built by US Watercraft,
due to arrive in the spring of 2013. Sail Newport is a
non-profit community sailing center located in beautiful Newport, RI. Founded in 1983, this center is New
England’s largest public sailing center.
SA: What made Sail Newport decide to use the
J/22s for their sailing program?
BR: We find that the J/22 is the perfect sailing
vehicle to teach day sailing and racing to both children and adults. This boat is ideal to showcase the
Narragansett Bay to our visitors each summer.
SA: How long has SN been using the J/22 as the
boat of choice?
BR: We started using the J/22s in the early 90s.
Our current fleet is also a US Watercraft fleet of
12 boats which were new in 2003. It has always
been our intent to flip the fleet every decade.
Our current fleet has been well maintained and
recently sold to Sail Maine for their program out
of Portland, Maine.
SA: How did Sail Newport come to purchase 14
boats to replace their current 12 J/22s?
BR: Well, Randy Borges, aware of the intended
turnover of the fleet came to us with a program
that has a heavy focus for colleges and community
sailing programs, so we struck a deal for 14 new
US Watercraft boats. The truth is Sail Newport is
always at capacity at rental times. The boats are
always over-booked between our different events
and programs. Sometimes we have women’s teams
using seven or eight boats, so we use the remaining four for lessons. Other times, we host corporate
outings, in which we develop a rotation, and come
next spring, we will be able to have more people
out on the water at once.
SA: Did you consider another one-design boat to
replace this fleet before deciding on the J/22?
BR: Yes, in previous years, we have looked at different boats, but it is about the story of the boat.
The J/22 is quick and maneuverable, but not too
fast for beginners. This boat is easy to maintain,
and is institutionally adequate.
SA: Is there anything you would like to add about
this new fleet purchase?
BR: It is crucial for Sail Newport, as well as
myself, that the boats we selected were made and
produced in Rhode Island. As a community sailing
center, we wanted to keep it about the sailing community. US Watercraft is a local leader in the boat
building industry, and we felt it was the best way
to showcase Rhode Island in the marine trade by
making sure everything was kept in-state.
I would like to personally thank Brad for taking the
time out of his day to speak with me and to express on
behalf of US Watercraft, that we look forward to this
continued relationship with Sail Newport. In a continued effort to assist this sailing center, and the community benefits of sailing, Waterline Systems (sister
company to USW), will be maintaining the boats and
performing any service work needed to keep this fleet
in top condition.
