Four rebuilt or replicated J Class yachts are now in
service—Endeavour, Ranger,
Shamrock V and Velsheda—and the J
Class Association has announced plans for up to three more. These announcements
follow a move to modify the class rules to allow for a maximum rating rather
than a waterline-length limit. Design work on a replica of Yankee, which sailed
in the America’s Cup trials of 1934, is already under way at Gerard Dijkstra
& Partners in Holland. Replicas of the British Endeavour II and a
Swedish challenger that never launched are also being considered.
