The J Class Yachts were THE Americas Cup boats from 1930 to 1937. They were about 130 feet long. There were only Seven J Class Yachts built..although there were about 20 designs drawn up. There are more replicas today than originals.

NB

PS: The J Class Yachts shown in the video now use the latest technology..Carbon Fiber, Kevlar...etc. The mast, rigging, is no longer aluminum and wire.... Everything is Carbon Fiber.
