Three J Class events scheduled for 2011... click on NOR 2011 for more info....The FULL SIZE J Class Ranger, Velsheda, and Shamrock V will race off Newport this coming June 2011.

Welcome to the Official J Class webpage! This page was originally intended for the purpose of providing the information for the Class National Championship Regatta held in San Antonio, Texas in October of 2007 but due to the ongoing activity and growth within the class the need was felt for an up to date page that could provide more information and current news to the skippers and those interested in the class.

If you have any information or PICTURES you would care to share with the rest of us here, please call or email:

New boats are being built all the time, we always enjoy learning about new construction projects and finding pictures of boats under construction.

Last year was the busiest year for the J Class in quite some time with 3 scheduled events and continued growth in the class. New boats, new skippers and a few old boats registered or moved to new homes, it's all good news for the class. Please take some time and poke around the website and get a feel for the class or look up some boats you may have seen, sailed against or even owned!

We are always grateful to have any boat pictures and reports of new construction to pass along here.

The election of 2010 is over and the new J Class Rules were overwhelmingly approved.
