J111 sailboat tour - Retroboat E32 - with
According to designer Alan Johnstone, the brief for the new 36ft 6in J/111 one-design was for a boat that he and the rest of the J/Boats crew would want to sail-and it shows.
During a recent daysail off Newport, Rhode Island, hull #1 reveled in picture perfect sailing conditions, with winds out of the east in the mid to high teens. Sailing to windward, the boat was balanced and easy to drive through the moderate swells. Off the wind, the boat lit up under a massive, but easy to handle A-sail.
Narrow beam and a deep, high-aspect rudder make the boat easy to control, even when it’s on its ear. A bulb keel drawing 7ft 2in provides the righting moment to control the 751ft2 of working sail and 1,410-ft2 spinnaker. Tacking, even in the chop off Newport Neck, was effortless, with precision helm control throughout and never a doubt about making it onto the other tack. In the puffs, the boat accelerated like flicking a switch.
This is a boat that looks impressive just sitting at the dock. The stem is plumb, so much so that in profile it almost looks as though there is a hint of tumblehome. The stern is also nearly vertical, with minimal overhang, in the interest of maximizing sailing length.

I just kept clicking on videos until I got to this one and realized there are no more videos! I really hope Sailing Anarchy makes more videos in the future.
I love the design of J boats. Every inch looks well engineered and really beautiful at the same time.

Yea, practical and oh so beautiful!!
Miss the cute girl! I’ve never been a big fan of J/boats but what is see is what you get. And they usually come with a nice One Design fleet. That’s always a plus.
Nice, simple yet lots of elements for a cruz
Thanks for the shout out to the Great Lakes! How come no new videos?
What happened to the vids? Man I thought you had a real good thing going and I'm bummed this is the last one. Hope all is well.
Another great video....I look forward to each and every one. Thanks!

We need more videos! He like a modern/younger version of Captain Q
Love it ... I had the pleasure to sail on a J/111 in sweden, Norway, Denmark. Superb R/C yacht.
The J/111 design has stayed really modern for being 10+ years old. There's a very active fleet in the Chesapeake; I sailed with one for a season a few years ago. Review that performance cat one slip over next please!
Just a few months ago I traded my 2004 Ben 36.7 for a 2011 J/111 and already it's "retro!" When one of my cew saw it for the first time she commented "wow, she looks fast just sitting in the slip." This one looks faster because she lacks the Facnor furler (good choice) and has the optional black pulpit and stern rails, very sharp. That wheel looks fantastic too, I really want one of those. Pipe berths are a factory option but mine came with aftermarket. If you have a few sails on board and are at dock it's handy to toss them on the pipe berths, but then you can't sit on the lower bunks and lean back. I'll probably remove the pipe berth from one side. Other options include opening gates, shore power, refrigeration in the ice box, a hot water heater and a propane range. One very cool standard feature you didn't mention is that there is a rope ladder that pulls right out of the transom for getting people back on board. I'll bet many owners don't even know about it. Thanks for the great video, it was cool seeing what they look like when they are all clean inside and don't have sails piled everywhere ;-)
Really great video on J boats… best on KZread….
love how clean the j111 is.

Love the videos, and the J111. You should take a look at a Beneteau First 36.7 if you get a chance. They have a big fleet in So-Cal. Prettyy cool boats. Thanks for the series, love it.
Wow, perfect minimalistic sailboat racer!! I wish I had the dosh ta buy this !!! ✌🏻💗😊❣️
I love these videos Scott! Great fun and the production is top notch! If you are interested in doing a Olson 40, Dwight Rowe in Ventura has a very nice one - he has kept it up to a very high standard.

Great. Can you do the J/109 next? I had a hard choice between the J/111 and J/109. Choose the 109 for the mix use in family cruising and the larger number of available boats to compete OD
Would love to see a J29 retro boat tour.

Johnstone says it's the favorite boat he built and sailed! He told me in my office
You can order a J111 with pipe berths and also some of the early production boats on the Eastcoast had a small problem where the rudders would drop and almost fall out, but other than that, a blast to sail.

I have always felt that the 111 was the realization of what a modern day J35 would be, the 105 was not it and the 109 was not either. All the owners I have spoken to love them and say the boat has no bad habits.

Take a look at a Humboldt 30!
Do the J/105 please!
can you do some of the french designs like the beneteau first 260 spirit ( or first 25.7) or the jeanneau sun fast 26 ( or any other in that series?) or perhaps the first 27.7?
Do you have an Albin Ballad over there?
Do the S2 9.2A!
How is the design regarding wet cores? Is that still the case with J boats or was that only in the past ?
I keep hoping someone with a Ranger 33 will let you show it off.

Retro? Really?
This is absolutely NOT "the perfect boat for people that go day sailing". It is 36 feet of storage and/or mooring with bowsprit that tends to leak inside. And people are supposed to leave it for longer periods and just use it for a day or one weekend every now and then? That's not the concept.
Good review, but where is Obligatory Boat Girl? I got the serious impression she was MAGA.
