The 41 foot J/125 is as close to high performance big-boat sailing one can find in a boat that’s manageable (yes, even with spinnaker) by two or three people. J/125 is like a street-legal Indy 500 car that’s easier to drive than the family sedan. Joy in ownership (and investment) is a function of time spent sailing. Time sailing depends on how easy it is to be off “on the spur of the moment” inspired by a beautiful day without having to organize 8-10 crew.
Easy to Go Sailing -How easy? Throw off the cover and hoist the mainsail on slides from the cockpit using a 2:1 halyard purchase. Cast off and sail faster under mainsail alone than most boats under full canvas. Unroll the jib and fly upwind. Ready to really take off? Pull out the retractable carbon bowsprit. Hoist the spinnaker in its sock. Then from the cockpit, slide the sock up the sail to deploy the spinnaker. Trim the sheet. Hold on to your hats!
To jibe, cast off one sheet and pull in the other. No need for anyone on the foredeck. To douse the spinnaker, cast off the sheet and pull the sock down over the sail from the cockpit. Stow when ready. Can you imagine the surprise of other sailors as you fly by them in 15 knots of breeze doing 10-12 knots?
Getting the Gun - One of the thrills J/125 owners experience frequently is being first-to-finish and getting the gun. The local crowd ashore assumes, as in other types of races, being first across the line determines the winner. J/125 upwind target speed is 7.8 - 8.0 knots. 10+ knots downwind is a daily occurrence. In fact we know of no other boat of its type and length that’s faster. Finding crew for weeknight and Saturday races is hardly a problem when you’re first to the party.
Stability & Seaworthiness- The sense of solidity and power when sailing the J/125 is explained by J/125’s extraordinary stability index of 143 degrees with a stability curve ratio of positive to negative areas of 12.5:1. This greater stability is combined with a balanced hull-form with proper amounts of reserve buoyancy forward, capable of safer & controllable higher-speed planing offshore in large waves and providing a wider steering groove upwind for sustained peak performance by average helmspersons. No IMS rule-inspired hull form can match the high 4.72 length to beam ratio of this sea-kindly yacht nor the reserve buoyancy designed into her bow sections. High length to beam ratio insures straight tracking in rough seas and light steering loads. Sailboats with fine bows and full midship sections are more difficult to balance and more likely to spin out of control in big waves.
What’s Unique About J/125’s Construction? The J/125 is built to ABS offshore specifications by TPI Composites using the SCRIMP resin-infusion process. Tests conducted by the US Naval Surface Warfare Center at Carderock, MD established that the properties of laminates produced by TPI's patented SCRIMP resin-infusion process are superior to low-energy pre-pregs used by many custom boat shops and twice the strength of hand lay-up.
J Boats was hesitant to enter the lightweight race boat market until something like SCRIMP/Carbon technology became available. In our judgment, SCRIMP construction greatly reduces the chances of warranty claims due to laminate failures resulting over time from pounding into waves and/or rig tension or ballast loads.
SCRIMP Process- The entire laminate is placed in the mold dry. A high vacuum eliminates any air voids, then resin feed tubes draw in only enough epoxy to "wet" the laminate. This is the TPI patented SCRIMP resin-infusion process. The last step in the process is to post-cure the hull and deck at 140 degrees in a closed oven. As can be seen from the chart, SCRIMP laminate properties in terms of compression strength, flexure, and tension are twice the strength of hand lay-up and significantly stronger than low energy (vacuum bagged) post-cure
pre-pregs. There is no entrained air in a SCRIMP laminate. 1% void content reduces flexural strength by 10%. Note that 50% fiber content in a carbon laminate equates to 67% carbon/33% resin by weight. See the comparison of composite properties of low cost fabrication methods in the chart above.
Weight of Construction- after subtracting weight of keel plus 1000 pounds of rig, engine and hardware, J/125 at 2700 pounds is as much as 1500-2500 pounds lighter than competitive designs. Not all of this has to do with the J/125’s narrower beam.
Hull & Deck Laminate Design- of the J/125 is stronger for its weight than E-Glass/epoxy laminates using slit CoreCell foam. J/125 uses epoxy with a combination Kevlar & E-Glass for the outer skin with two layers of carbon fiber (bi-axial & unidirectional) for the inner skin. The higher strength of these exotic materials allows a thinner, lighter skin than the equivalent E-Glass structure.
Great Stuff Scot...I had "Aquila" an Olson 40 at the Kona Kai in Pt. Loma 2005 - 2006. Raced the Cabrillo series Ensenada etc. Your overviews are excellent. Thanks for your work 😎 "Aquila" moved to La Paz in 2007 - 2008 and then was lost in August 2008 in hurricane Hernan doublehanding to Hawaii. It hit 1,700 nm west of Cabo and 1,100 miles left to go to the Islands sailed 56 hours straight in Cat 2/1 40ft seas..backstay blew...rudder bearings cracked prop shaft leaking...shrouds creaking..hitch a ride on a Toyota Car Carrier heading to Mexico..still in tropical storm wind and seas.
George Olson builds a great boat. Saved our lives 😁
Hey we’re J125 Jackknife Hull #1 also known as Wings of the Wind. We race in the Irish Sea Ik Europe all year round.
awesome. how ya like it?
Really special boat to sail. I grew up sailing the boat and she’s our pride and joy. Our 125 is very much optimized however and has the lowest IRC rating of all the 125s.
Best j boat ever.
It’s kind of amazing how much the J/125 is just a really big J/105. Nav station, head, settees, etc. all in the same locations.
Big J boat fan here. 22, 24, 29, 30, 105, 35, 41, ....... Crewed on a few. Love them all. Great video.
Rad
we are shooting a j/35 tomorrow!
@@SailingAnarchyUSA can't wait to see it. Thx for the effort. Really enjoy the retro angle. Find a Soverel 33 or maybe a big flat deck Nelson Marek.
Love this boat! Fast, seaworthy and beautiful!! No one ever mentions the boats eye appeal.
This channel Rocks. Keep it up!
Thank you
This boat reminds me of the mc 38 my aunt used to own and man it looks like an amazing time, wish there was one on the Great Lakes I could hop on
These boats are so much fun! My family had hull #4. Who would have thought the banana boat would still be kicking ass years later(even though it’s not yellow anymore). I’m glad the new owner brought back the SNOOPY name. I think the 125 was SNOOPY 10. # 9 was a 105.
Scott I am loving these boat reviews. This is my dream boat. Stan is a good friend of mine and I am looking forward to do a few races on it with them,. COVID and some health issues have gotten in the way, but soon I hope.
me too!
viggo clearly sandbagging with that 13 on the targets! 20 in 25 is easily achievable with just 3 on deck.
depends on the angle
@@fiftyfathoms8396 just gotta keep it up on the step. for hamachi it's this: (18, 20 and 22kts tws)...
138 20.93 145 18.01
138 24.3 145 21.07
138 28.68 145 23.13
I sailed the J-125 over 15,000 miles and won nearly everything... I am aware how to sail it
Top Gun Maverick brought me here
Nice review Scot!
thanks bruce!
Stan and crew, sail fast this weekend at Yachting Cup.
Hey Scot,
Love these vid's and the personality you bring, very cool! I have a '79 Dehler Sprinta Sport 23. Not sure if they are common in your area, but I thought it would be fun to hear your take on them. Cheers!
i saw it docked over on shelter island, correct?
@@SailingAnarchyUSA I'm actually up in Alberta, about to get frozen out lol.
Love this boat!
Chingon!!!!!!
👍👍👍
Wow... “Cowes in London, England” is like saying “San Jose in Los Angeles, USA”
Lols closer to Oceanside in Los Angeles. San Jose would be more like Carlisle. :)
who gives a fuck?
@@SailingAnarchyUSA I’m going to edit my comment to not berate you. If you put all this time and effort into your videos, you might as well check your geography.
@@BlueLineSpeed what are you babbling about?
Yeeessss. There is a God!!! Thankyouthankyouthankyou.
haha - thanks man!
Sail FIRST !
Are you going to doing Limd Thomas’s Thomas 35? Another 35’ PHRF killer/ J 35 clone.
my 2 cents, a doug peterson design Baltic 42DP?
you know, i think there might be one here in dago...
@@SailingAnarchyUSA Serendipity 43 has same hull less weight. I had #26 now in S Pedro..Old IOR but a fun boat.
Great boat. Mumm 36 anytime soon?
I don't think we have any in San Diego
Olson 29 or 30 please
This is your on-camera guy?
Any 52s coming soon?
i think they all left dago, but we're on the lookout!
“Cowes in London, England” Really? And your a sailor? haha, I guess The Americas Cup was started in London then!
it's you're not your.
Please don't talk too much old man . Need show something .You have nothing to do ?
It needs a huge TRUMP flag to shadow that Biden towel. :-) Nice boat!
shut up
Owning a yacht flying a Brandon flag - the ultimate oxymoron
Don't douch it up.
