J/111’s are gracing harbors everywhere as sailors discover the latest in ease, comfort and efficiency from J/Boats. Hot off the drawing board, the J/111 is a sleek, speedy, one-design 36 footer that is the ultimate day sailing, racing and weekend cruising sailboat.

The J/111 is an easy-to-handle, comfortable sailboat that accelerates quickly, slices to windward at 7+ knots and hits double-digit speeds downwind. Performance to date in a wide variety of sailing conditions has been nothing short of remarkable.

With 39 boats at Key West Race Week and over 300 already sold, the J/70 has introduced the NexGen Family Trailer Sailer.

The J/70 Speedster (22.75 feet) is J/Boats’ first ramp-launchable keelboat. Designed to fulfill the growing need for an easy-to-own, high performance one-design that is exciting to sail, stable enough for the family, and built to last.

With fleets established around the world, the J/70 is on track to take the world by storm.

Features include: - Large comfortable cockpit with open transom.

- Deck-stepped carbon mast with single spreaders.

- Three sail inventory with masthead A-Sail.

- Vertical lifting bulb keel.

- Small cabin for storage and personal privacy.

- Easy to trailer and ramp launch

We’ll then make arrangements for the best part of any J/Boat – the not-to-be missed test sail.

New Harbor 30 Daysailer Plus

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 469

The Harbor 30 was designed by Steven Schock to be a quintessential Daysailer Plus in the style of the Harbor 20 and Harbor 25. It has a Hoyt jib boom with roller furling, lazy jacks for the main, and a spacious cockpit. The features and benefits of this exciting design include: ease of sailing, good stability, low maintenance, good performance, traditional styling, and inboard power. The Harbor 30’s cruising interior features interior liners with beaded board detailing and wood trim. There are 6-ft bunks for four adults, a full galley placed aft on the starboard side, and an enclosed head aft to port. All of the sail control lines are led to winch islands adjacent to the helm and cockpit.

Making its West Coast debut at Strictly Sail Pacific, the Sun Odyssey 469 is the newest offering from Jeanneau and acclaimed naval architect Philippe Briand. The ‘baby sister’ of the Sun Odyssey 509 launched by Jeanneau in 2012, the SO 469 offers many of the same features as this highly successful yacht. Characteristic of Jeanneaus, the performance of the 469 under sail is unmatched among 46-ft yachts. It is sleek, fast and responsive.

Above decks it features a large, twin helm cockpit, folding wood table, fold-down transom, and integrated running rigging led aft to the helm for easy singlehanded sailing. Below decks, its 14’ 7” of beam gives it the volume and comfort of a 50-ft yacht. To see this yacht and other Jeanneaus, visit the Cruising Yachts display at the show.

Nacra 17 See the all new Nacra 17, designed for the 2016 Olympics! This new design marks the return of multihull sailing to the Games. The Nacra 17 high-performance catamaran is the fastest Olympic sailing boat and is attracting strong interest from top-ranked athletes worldwide. It is reinvigorating small boat multihull sailing for the masses. The boat was designed

by Morrelli & Melvin, who have extensive experience designing and racing on America’s Cup cats including Stars & Stripes in 1988 and BMW Oracle in 2010, and they’re currently part of the Emirates Team New Zealand 2013 America’s Cup design team.

Page 16 • Strictly Sail Pacific Show Guide • April 2013

RS Venture The 16-ft RS Venture is the new benchmark of recreational sailing dinghies. The modern and stable design is great for family outings, instructional use, and racing fleets. A large cockpit comfortably accommodates 2-8 sailors and boasts a capacity of more than 1,200 lbs. Excellent handling and a durable fiberglass hull make the Venture perfect for all skill levels, and a built-in reefing system ensures comfort and safety. The RS Venture impressed Sailing World’s judges so much that it earned their prestigious 2013 Boat of the Year Award as the Best Recreational Dinghy!

NEW Boat Showcase Diesel Duck 462

Beneteau Sense 46

The 50-ft Diesel Duck 462 is a cooperative effort between designer George Buehler and Seahorse Marine to create a very seaworthy and livable long range ocean passagemaker.

George’s Diesel Ducks are Sail Assisted Trawlers (SATs) and can be found cruising all over the world. All Diesel Ducks include important safety features not found on most cruising yachts: strong steel fire-proof hulls, extensive double bottoms, full recovery from capsize, many interior water tight compartments with sea doors, commercial windows, ports and hatches, easy to use sailing rigs for extended range, stabilization and “come home” capabilities, plus many other exclusive features.

The Sense 46 will make her West Coast debut at Strictly Sail Pacific. Passage Yachts, Beneteau’s exclusive dealer in the Bay Area, will display the Sense 46 along with five other Beneteau sailing yachts. The Sense concept has become a new reference in cruising monohulls for emphasizing cockpit space ideal for entertaining topside; a central, one-level floor plan only three steps down from the cockpit; and a contemporary design throughout. Widebeamed and close to the water, the Sense 46 retains the innovative feature of a hull designed to offer a low heel angle, therefore guaranteeing outstanding seakeeping while optimizing sailing speed. The recent expansion of the range, now four models from 43 to 55 feet, is an indicator of its success worldwide.

The DD-462 has two staterooms plus a single bunk in the pilothouse and a settee in the main saloon that folds out to make a double bed. There are two heads, a large saloon, separate galley and stand-up engine room with workbench.

Lagoon Catamarans By any measure Lagoon is #1 in the world of cruising catamarans.

The J/70 is taking the world by storm: 300+ have been sold, with more than 15 fleets developed in the USA alone, and Europe has fleets forming in a halfdozen countries. It is no wonder! The J/70 introduces a new dimension of fun, fast sailing in this easy to own boat that all of your friends and family can enjoy.

See this next/ gen family trailer-sailer at Strictly Sail Pacific.

Page 18 • Strictly Sail Pacific Show Guide • April 2013

Building more boats, selling more boats, developing new technologies, introducing new designs, Lagoon has done it all since the ‘80s. Longer than any other big production catamaran builder, Lagoon has been making the oceans safer, faster, and more accessible for cruising sailors. Join us at the show and find out all about the latest from the greatest.

NEW Boat Showcase Hanse 415

MC38

German-built Hanse Yachts embody fast cruising, easy sailing, innovative design and individual customization. The Hanse 415 truly lives up to their philosophy of “Breaking Rules, Setting Trends.” With its unique European styling, the Hanse 415 is like no other yacht.

Bright, roomy, and well laid out, her design gives you the comfort and confidence to cruise in style, while her designers’ racing pedigree, German engineering, and high-tech construction give you performance never seen before in this arena. Please join us and discover the new era of Cruiser/Racer. We are confident you’ll enjoy seeing how the Hanse 415 takes sailing performance and comfort to a whole new level.

The MC38 raises high performance one design yacht racing to a new level in a one design class. Built by McConaghy boats, the MC38 brings a fun and exciting time on the water for owners and crew. Designed for international, interstate or interclub racing, the MC38 has a removable carbon keel-fin and is specifically designed for ease of transport.

McConaghy build and finish quality ensure strong, fast and identical boats for maximum racing without the need for maximum crew. The fleet is growing worldwide, with Sydney, Australia, enjoying the excitement of the first One Design Regatta in December last year.

Leopard 39 Hobie Mirage Tandem Island Fleets of the Mirage Tandem Island are now found around the world. Hobie is a California company that has taken the California sailing ethos worldwide. Under sail the puff hits and the Hobie Mirage Tandem Island’s leeward ama chisels into the water, its efficient, squaretopped mainsail immediately translating increased wind speed into extra boat speed. The Tandem Island’s two-piece carbon-fiber rig minimizes weight aloft – thus stiffening the ride – and both cockpits are fitted with steerage and sail-handling controls. Best yet, the amas, akas and rig are easily stripped, converting the Tandem Island’s rotomolded polyethylene hull into a highly efficient, pedal- or paddle-powered touring kayak with hatches and on-deck stowage.

Building on previous design features with the hulls and deck coming out of the same molds as the Leopard 38, the major modifications on the Leopard 39 are a new continuous hardtop and a raised helm station covered by a hard bimini. The Leopard 39 features two guest cabins to port with the starboard hull entirely dedicated to the luxurious and spacious owners’ suite. The performance-driven Leopard 39 offers comfort and an abundance of outdoor space.

With her generous sail plan and hull design she provides high performance yet is highly practical and easy to use.

Her large extended cockpit hardtop provides excellent shade and weather protection, and a powerboat-style stepped transom enables easier boarding.

Solar panels are installed as standard on the helm hardtop to charge the onboard batteries.

SOS Emergency Rudder by Scanmar Many offshore regulations require boats to have an emergency rudder system that is independent of the boat’s primary steering system.

The SOS system is a stand-alone emergency rudder, custom designed and fabricated for each individual boat. It is fabricated by proven stainless steel components used in Scanmar’s windvanes. This also keeps the price affordable. The SOS has a flip-down design that makes it reasonably easy to mount at sea.

After initial mounting and testing it breaks down and stores in its own 4-ft bag. Only four brackets remain on the transom when it is stored below.

Allen Brothers Tiller Extensions Carbon Telescopic Available in two sizes: Short – A5535 (800-1300mm) Long – A5530 (1100-1800mm)

Combining a proven carbon/ Kevlar composite, these two materials are directly interwoven in a twill pattern to create the ultimate tube that is strong, lightweight, and will hold together if the worst happens.

(main tube OD 26mm, inner tube 19mm)

Blue Water Hardware Blue Water Hardware specializes in marine ventilation hardware, specifically cowl vents, mushroom vents, clamshell vents, and solar vents, along with accompanying deck plates.

In 2000, Blue Water Hardware, then known as Mariner’s Hardware, revolutionized the appearance of standard air vents, which were commonly made of sheet metal or PVC, by creating vents made of solid stainless steel and bronze.

Blue Water Hardware offers a wide selection of vent shapes and sizes for the purpose of circulating fresh air into the spaces below deck on your vessel.

StopGull StopGull USA is a specialized company that designs and manufactures anti-gull and bird proofing systems. The StopGull line of products are designed for maritime vessels, marinas, and anywhere birds or seagulls may be a nuisance.

After four years of scientific research into the behavioral and migratory patterns of oceanic fowl, the inventors of StopGull have developed a series of revolutionary new products that are proven to detour seagulls and all coastal birds from landing on undesired places.

StopGull is non-invasive, environmentally safe, non-toxic, and saves thousands of dollars in cleaning solvents and fresh water.

COOL PRODUCTS Products ATN Spinnaker Sleeve and The Tacker Anybody can get a sail up. It takes a sailor to get one down.

That statement is particularly true regarding the spinnaker.

The problem is not to hoist the sail but to get it back on the boat. That’s when the spinnaker sleeve makes the average sailboat owner a great sailor, who can make that very powerful and expensive sail disappear with a minimum of fuss and no assistance. And the sail is ready to be hoisted again immediately – no more packing!

The Tacker holds the tack, and the luff, of the spinnaker close to the centerline of the boat, and it can be adjusted up and down with the downhaul for a perfect trim. The new Tacker is now fitted with a snapshackle, which allows the operator to blow the tack of the spinnaker, making it even easier to control the sail.

Boye Knives

Prism Polish

These premier boat knives, the lockback folder and the Basic 3, are made from dendritic cobalt, an innovative blade metallurgy that won’t rust and just keeps cutting.

Prism Polish has been formulated to clean, polish and protect all metals in one easy application. The protective coating is designed to last 3 to 6 months.

The cobalt folding knives are the consummate personal carry: lightweight, compact, easy to keep with you at all times. The sheepsfoot blade is primarily for emergencies and splicing. The Basic 3 is a larger, heavier duty, all-purpose knife. The blunt tip combines safety and utility; the pointed version is just more all-around useful.

Prism Polish contains no harsh acids, caustics or abrasives. it is safe to use on all metals, fiberglass, gelcoat, Plexiglas and painted surfaces. It offers the finest protection available for any chrome or stainless surface. It cleans and protects in one easy application, and restores tarnished and dull surfaces while protecting against salt corrosion and rust. It removes cloudiness from Plexiglas, clear vinyl, isinglass and Lexan.

These knives are an investment in your security and personal control onboard.

SkyHawk Model 9600 Binoculars

Multi Season Antifoul Coppercoat

These binoculars are so high powered, they seem to bring sailboats, surfers and whales that are miles away right into your living room! Now boaters on land have a way to view coastal activities miles at sea with these newly redesigned binoculars.

Developed in the 1980s and available to the public since 1991, Coppercoat is possibly the most powerful and long lasting anti-fouling available to the modern yachtsman. This hard-wearing densely copper-filled epoxy resin is successfully protecting tens of thousands of boats the world over, saving their owners the time and expense of annual re-antifouling. Many users have now enjoyed more than 15 years continual protection from a single treatment!

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Jimmy Cornell to Present Blue Planet Odyssey Briefing Saturday, April 13, Seminar Room B, FREE! Jimmy Cornell to Present Blue Planet Odyssey Briefing on Saturday, April 13, FREE! Sailors will have a chance to find out more about the Blue Planet Odyssey when Jimmy Cornell makes a special presentation at Strictly Sail Pacific on Saturday, April 13, at 4:45 p.m. The Blue Planet Odyssey is of special interest to West Coast sailors as it is the first round-the-world event to start from the North American West Coast, with starts in Vancouver and San Francisco, and also the first sailing event to transit the Northwest Passage.

The Blue Planet Odyssey is a round-the-world sailing event aiming to raise awareness of the global effects of climate change. The event is spearheaded by Jimmy Cornell, founder of the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) and organizer of several other successful international sailing rallies including five round-the-world events. This global sailing event will call at some of the most endangered islands – San Blas Islands in the Atlantic Ocean; Tuvalu, Tokelau, Tuamotus, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean; the Maldive and Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean – as well as highlight the effects of climate change on the Arctic icecap, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Galapagos Islands, all of which lie on the Blue Planet Odyssey route.

The route of the Blue Planet Odyssey has been chosen to take advantage of the most favorable weather conditions and to pass through some of the most attractive cruising areas in the world. The route also includes stops or detours to some of the areas where the effects of climate change are already affecting the lives of their populations.

In line with the overall aim of the Blue Planet Odyssey, participants are expected to take an active part in some of the projects associated with the event. The Blue Planet Odyssey has met unprecedented success in its first months as more than 100 sailors have already pre-registered for the event.

Just Cruising and Still Cruising recount her family voyaging around the world, with Comfortable Cruising covering North and Central America. Cruising for Cowards, a current, practical A to Z for coastal and offshore sailors, is co-written with husband Andy.

In total, their Beneteau Bagheera has taken them 116,000 nm to 114 countries, with many more miles sailed together and separately both racing and cruising on other vessels.

Andy Turpin Latitude 38 magazine’s managing editor Andy Turpin is a lifelong sailor with a keen interest in the Tahitian islands and the rich Polynesian culture.

For the past 15 years, he has been reporting on the annual cruiser migration from the West Coast of the Americas to the islands of French Polynesia. He also works with Tahitian government representatives to make cruisers feel welcome in these special islands.

Pam Wall After circumnavigating the world with her family, Pam Wall now consults for West Marine and helps cruisers around the world get the products they need. Pam offers advice and friendship as well as supplies for the yachtsmen and women out there on their boats.

Zack Smith Zack Smith has spent a good part of his adult life researching how parachute sea anchors and drogues behave in changing seas. This led him to an industry first – his “Constant Rode Tension Theory.”

Zack and his associate, Fiorentino, were given a team achievement award from NASA for providing neverbefore-published technical reports and counsel to the agency during drogue tests related to space capsule recovery.

Jack Griffin In his CupExperience Briefing, Jack Griffin will give you all the information you need to enjoy the America’s Cup in San Francisco: important dates, how and where to watch – on shore or on the water – and who’s racing. You’ll learn about the AC72 catamarans with their wing sails, about the design choices each team has made, and about how the sailors harness these over-powered monsters. Jack will tell you about the race course and the tactics and strategies we are likely to see, including the pros and cons of hydrofoiling. The America’s Cup has always been a battle of tycoons and technology as much as seamanship and race tactics – you’ll hear how this America’s Cup compares with the classics of the past. You’ll understand why so many people care so much about, and fight so bitterly for this, the oldest and probably most difficult to win international sports trophy in the world.

Jack Griffin is just a club level racer but he is a world class America’s Cup specialist. Jack ran the fan club Alinghi Friends during the lead-up to the 32nd America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain in 2007. He provided expert commentary aboard the VIP spectator boats for Alinghi at both the 32nd and 33rd America’s Cups, and for Shosholoza, the South African Challenger in 2007.

AMERICA’S CUP 34 Not only will the 34th America’s Cup competition be the most prestigious sailing event ever staged on San Francisco Bay, but it’s sure to be a whole lot of fun for all who turn out to watch its fast-paced action.

There are three official challengers:

As the event’s organizers often point out, never before has an America’s Cup venue provided better viewing opportunities than here in the Bay’s “spectacular natural amphitheater.” And never before have organizers gone to such extraordinary lengths to make the Cup and its associated activities more appealing to the general public.

Below is a quick reference guide to upcoming Cup-related events.

• Luna Rossa Challenge 2013

• Emirates Team New Zealand • Artemis Racing

About the AC72s The use of these 72-ft catamarans will truly bring America’s Cup racing into the realm of ‘extreme sports’ for the first time. With hull lengths of 72 feet and beams of 46 feet, these purpose-built speed machines employ 131-ft wing masts that harness enough wind power to travel at twice the apparent wind speed. In San Francisco Bay’s normal summer winds, speeds could be in the mid40-knot range or higher. Added together, the wing and gennaker have a ‘sail’ area of more than 6,000 square feet.

In an effort to bring race fans as close to the onboard action as possible, each boat will carry video cameras and microphones.

ACEA / GUILAIN GRENIER

The America’s Cup World Series

Oracle Team USA tests Bay waters

America’s Cup Basics After the Golden Gate Yacht Club’s team, BMW Oracle Racing, won America’s Cup 33 in Valencia, Spain (2010), San Francisco was announced as the site for AC 34. The defender (Oracle Team USA), working with the Challenger of Record (Artemis Racing), defined the design parameters for the upcoming competition, ultimately selecting the revolutionary AC72 catamaran design, which will be faster and more physically demanding than any previous AC boat type. Each AC 34 team must build its boat’s hulls in the team’s home country, and, if they choose to, each team may also build a second boat for training purposes.

As always, challengers will compete in the Louis Vuitton Cup match-racing elimination series, which is slated to begin in July. The eventual winner will face Oracle Team USA in the America’s Cup 34 Finals, beginning in early September.

Page 52 • Strictly Sail Pacific Show Guide • April 2013

Unless you’ve been hibernating under an overturned dory somewhere, you know that 2012’s America’s Cup World Series on San Francisco Bay (aboard AC45 cats) produced some of the most exciting racing ever seen here. As was widely reported, those events brought many of the world’s top sailors to the Bay, and many of them will be back this summer to compete in AC 34. Among them – to name but a few – will be Ben Ainslie, Russell Coutts, Jimmy Spithill and Loïck Peyron, in addition to the Bay’s own Paul Cayard and John Kostecki.

The final ACWS event will be contested this spring in Naples, Italy.

The America’s Cup at Strictly Sail Pacific This is an incredible year for San Francisco Bay and for the United States as the Bay Area hosts the fastest boats and the greatest sailors ever to compete for the America’s Cup trophy. Come to the show and find out the latest news, see what the Cup action will be all about, and find out how best to experience the America’s Cup. For details, see page 31.

The Red Bull Youth America’s Cup One thing that AC 34 organizers are very proud of is that this edition of Cup events has a greater commitment than ever before to developing young sailors into world-class athletes.

The centerpiece of this effort will be the first-ever Red Bull Youth America’s Cup, which will culminate in a series of races aboard AC45 cats that is scheduled for early September, just prior to the America’s Cup Finals.

During the lead-up to that event, many teams of top young sailors vied to be included in the competition.

Some are sponsored by AC and/or ACWS (adult) teams, while others were selected from hundreds of applicants at the RBYAC Trials held in February.

One of the most fiercely competitive and sought after trophies in all of sport, the America’s Cup was first raced in 1851, 45 years before the modern Olympics.

The U.S. yacht America won, giving the international sailing competition its name.

The 34th America’s Cup brings the competition for the oldest trophy in international sport back to the United States for the first time in 18 years.

And it does so in style, with exciting new boats, a new format for the racing, and television and web coverage that takes the viewer into the racing as never before.

The ‘summer of racing’ begins in San Francisco runs from July through September 2013, culminating with a one on one match in the America’s Cup Finals between the defending team, ORACLE TEAM USA and the winner of the Louis Vuitton Cup, the America’s Cup Challenger Series.
