Keepers of the J/35 Class

These diehard J/35 fanatics in Detroit are on a mission to bring these iconic one-design keelboats back to racing trim. We meet up with the master craftsman behind the rebuilds of many of the J/35s now racing again on the Great Lakes.

we need more videos like this, but more in depth, talking hardware, deck layouts, lots of into to spread out there would help the sport!

[@Ericlesch]

I agree, we need more in depth info

[@markmccrindle1322]

I wish you would have shown the deck items that Gary Snider was talking about rather than just boats sailing....

[@sailingworld]

Agreed. We'll have to pay a visit to their laboratory soon. They are saviors of this class for sure.

[@instantchow]

@@sailingworld is it possible to update us with a link with pictures of the deck layout,

[@Ericlesch]

yes, I want to see what he was talking about too...I have a stripped down J35 I'm putting back together, the things he is talking about are exactly what I'm trying to figure out, what to put back, what to replace, what to leave off. Love that totally stripped interior

[@darrellhanks6459]

What is going on with the camera? This video is frustrating to watch. Gary is explaining the layout and controls which is difficult to interpret by audio only while the video is showing J/35s racing. Please, we need better production of a great series that I very much enjoy and hope there is more exploring of different classes and their boats.

That isn’t a camera thing, it’s an editing thing

1:23 HAHAHAHAHA

Stupid video. Could have been great if you showed what they were actually talking about but my god. Maybe you could learn something from the retro boat series? Or BUY the rights to that show from Sailing Anarchy!
