You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

sanctuarysam will become famous soon enough
going out on a limb here, but my experience w/ J boats are they are great for racing, but i'd be hard pressed to think of them being a suitable long distance offshore vessel. also, not known for their creature comforts (okay, i'm basing this on my J/24 and some 29s and 34s, i've sailed on...so maybe the 36 is more s/o or spouse friendly.

or not

Some of the J-boats are very comfortable cruisers... others not so much.

Heh, this is the reason I assumed people were leaving it off the lists...

In fantasy land I have checked out some brand new J 42s and such online... more the cruiser types vs the pure racers... they looked perty good in my noobish eyes...

Now if only I become rich overnight
